Question

I’m adding new method ‘editpass’ to existing REST based User controller.

I want to pass the id to the editpass method which edit does for the edit_user_path

i have added the following in routes.rb

resources :user do
    collection do
     get 'editpass'
    end
 end

and

 match 'user/:id/editpass' => 'user#editpass'

rake:routes produces following for the editpass :

 /user/:id/editpass(.:format)    {:action=>"editpass", :controller=>"user"

this routes doesn’t have a path name.

what is the bestway to generate path for the method with id in rails3

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

 match 'user/:id/editpass' => 'user#editpass', :as => 'user_editpass'

That should make user_editpass_path(:id => @user) work.
