I get the following clicking that link
<%= link_to "(#{User.count_friend_requests(current_user)}) Friends Requests", :controller => "users", :action=>"friend_requests"%>
i get that error
ActionController::UrlGenerationError in Devise::Registrations#edit
No route matches {:action=>"friend_requests", :controller=>"devise/users", :format=>"1"}
routes
devise_for :users, :path_prefix => 'my'
resources :users, :only => [:friend_requests] do
get "friend_requests", :on => :collection
end
users_controller
def friend_requests
#frnds = User.find_friend_requests(current_user)
end
Heh, you've mounted devise with prefix /my/, so your routes are like
/my/users/..
and resources :users mounts your code without any prefix.
You should remove prefix my or or change your resources to
scope "my" do
resources :users, :only => [:friend_requests] do
get "friend_requests", :on => :collection
end
end
to get path like /my/users/friend_requests/
Also I see that rails looks for your method in devise/users (not in your users) controller
No route matches {:action=>"friend_requests", :controller=>"devise/users", :format=>"1"}
If you want to patch it, you should take a look how to patch a devise's users controller.

I want to replace the normal /users/:id route that is created by the resources command, with a more abstract /profile route. It won't be possible to view other users profiles in my app, and therefor the current route is unnecessary specific.
I have tried to overwrite the route created by 'resources :users' with:
get '/profile', to: 'users#show'
and other variances and combinations, but can't seem to get it right. Either the controller can't find the user because of a missing id or it simply can't find the route.
Thanks for the help!
You can use this code in routes.rb file:
resources :users, :except => :show
collection do
get 'profile', :action => 'show'
end
end
It will generate url "/users/profile".
But, if u want to use only '/profile', then don't create route as collection inside users resources block.
resources :users, :except => :show
get 'profile' => "users#show", :as => :user_profile
It will redirect '/profile' to show action in users controller.
I suggest simply adding a users/me route pointing to the show action of your UsersController like so:
resources :users, only: [] do
collection do
get 'me', action: :show
end
end
You can also use the match keyword in routes.rb file.
match 'users/:id' => 'users#show', as: :user_profile, via: :get
In routes.rb:
scope "(:locale)", locale: /en|de/ do
get 'service' => 'service#index'
get 'service/:id' => 'service#show'
end
Then in view I use helper service_path(params[:locale], id) and get this link /en/service.1.
But i need link like this /en/service/1.
Check the routing via rake routes:
service GET (/:locale)/service(.:format) service#index (locale=>/en|ru/}
GET (/:locale)/service/:id(.:format) service#show {:locale=>/en|ru/}
How to get normal links like /en/service/1, what I'm doing wrong?
You should rename your controller to pluralize form Services
Change in routes:
get 'service' => 'service#index' to get 'services' => 'services#index', :as => :services
and
get 'service/:id' => 'service#show' to get 'services/:id' => 'services#show', :as => :service
Or you can write simple:
resources :services, :only => [:show, :index]
When I put the following code in my routes config :
resources :users do
end
I get all the CRUD operations routes. i.e
/users/new
/users/:id/edit
and so on.
How do I configure routes so I get route like this :
/users/lookup/:search_query
And when users reaches this routes he/she should be taked to lookup method of my controller
I would do :
resources :users do
get :lookup, on: :collection
end
And I would pass the search_query as a parameter. With that you will be more flexible.
resources :users do
get '/lookup/:search_query' => 'users#lookup', on: :collection
end
resources :users do
end
match '/users/lookup/:search_query' => "users#lookup", :as => :user_lookup
I want to route http://localhost:3000/users/1/rename/alex to my users controller with rename action.
what I did was:
match 'users/:id/rename/:name' => 'users#rename', but this is not working, the part after 'users/:id/' is not mapped at all, since I cannot get name by params[:name]
Update:
In routes.rb
resources :users do
put 'rename/:code', :action => :rename, :code => /\w{5}/, :on => :member
end
and,
$ rake routes
...
PUT /users/:id/rename/:code(.:format) {:code=>/\w{5}/, :action=>"rename", :controller=>"users"}
...
If you have resources :users, put your match line before it.
Alternatively, you can pass a block to resources:
resources :users do
match 'rename/:name' => 'users#rename', :on => :member
end
I'm reading these two pages
resources
Adding more RESTful actions
The Rails Guides page shows
map.resources :photos, :new => { :upload => :post }
And its corresponding URL
/photos/upload
This looks wonderful.
My routes.rb shows this
map.resources :users, :new => { :signup => :get, :register => :post }
When I do: [~/my_app]$ rake routes
I see the two new routes added
signup_new_user GET /users/new/signup(.:format)
register_new_user POST /users/new/register(.:format)
Note the inclusion of /new! I don't want that. I just want /users/signup and /users/register (as described in the Rails Routing Guide).
Any help?
When you expose a controller as a resource, following actions are automatically added:
show
index
new
create
edit
update
destroy
These actions can be categorized in to two groups:
:member actions
The URL for the member action has the id of the target resource. E.g:
users/1/edit
users/1
You can think of :member action as an instance method on a class. It always applies on an existing resource.
Default member actions: show, edit, update, destroy
:collection actions
The URL for the :collection action does not contain the id of the target resource. E.g:
users/login
users/register
You can think of :collection action as a static method on a class.
Default collection actions: index, new, create
In your case you need two new actions for registration. These actions belong to :collection type( as you do not have the id of the user while submitting these actions). Your route can be as follows:
map.resources :users, :collection => { :signup => :get, :register => :post }
The URL for the actions are as follows:
users/signup
users/register
If you want to remove a standard action generated by Rails use :except/:only options:
map.resources :foo, :only => :show
map.resources :foo, :except => [:destroy, :show]
Edit 1
I usually treat the confirmation action as a :member action. In this case params[id] will contain the confirmation code.
Route configuration:
map.resources :users, :member => { :confirm => :get}
URL
/users/xab3454a/confirm
confirm_user_path(:id => #user.confirmation_code) # returns the URL above
Controller
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def confirm
# assuming you have an attribute called `confirmation_code` in `users` table
# and you have added a uniq index on the column!!
if User.find_by_confirmation_code(params[id])
# success
else
# error
end
end
end
This can be taken as just another syntax -- something good to know may be.
Syntax 1:
resources :users do
member do
get 'signup'
post 'register'
end
end
Rake Route Output will include
signup_users GET /users/signup(.:format) {:action=>"signup", :controller=>"users"}
register_users POST /users/register(.:format) {:action=>"register", :controller=>"use
rs"}
Syntax 2:
If you have only one collection route
resources :users do
get 'signup', :on => :collection
end
If i'm understanding your question right, you just want to rename the urls of the new and create actions.
This would be done like so:
map.resources :users, :path_names => {:new => 'signup', :create => 'register'}
If you really would like to add new routes with corresponding controller actions, then Damiens answer is the way to go.
The new option allows you to create new routes for creating new objects. That's why they're prefixed with that term.
What you're looking for is the :collection option.
map.resources :users, :collection => { :signup => :get, :register => :post }
Which will create the /users/signup and /users/register urls.
