Question

I have these two routes for static pages which I catch in the controller.

  match "/pages/:page" => "pages#aboutus"
  match "/pages/:page" => "pages#team"

I thought that it would work by matching the “aboutus” or the “team” but the routing seems to only be working by looking for the first entry above.

My controller looks like this:

  def aboutus
  end  

  def team
  end

Any idea how I can make the routes go to the correct controller entry?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It can’t work like that.

What you wrote means that the request is dispatched to the pages controller’s aboutus action with { :page } in params. What is supposed to be your :page ?

Also, read the routing guide

If you want /pages/aboutus to redirect to pages#aboutus and /pages/team/ to pages#team do that:

match "/pages/aboutus" => "pages#aboutus"
match "/pages/team" => "pages#team"
