I want to replace root to welcome controller,
But if I use the url http://localhost:3000/welcome/portfolio The action 'welcome' could not be found for WelcomeController
How to not affect original controller with the routes rule match '/:action(/:id)', :controller => "welcome",via: [:get, :post]
rake up routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
root GET / welcome#index
GET|POST /:action(/:id)(.:format) welcome#:action
portfolio_welcome_index GET /welcome/portfolio(.:format) welcome#portfolio
welcome_index GET /welcome(.:format) welcome#index
POST /welcome(.:format) welcome#create
new_welcome GET /welcome/new(.:format) welcome#new
edit_welcome GET /welcome/:id/edit(.:format) welcome#edit
welcome GET /welcome/:id(.:format) welcome#show
PATCH /welcome/:id(.:format) welcome#update
PUT /welcome/:id(.:format) welcome#update
DELETE /welcome/:id(.:format) welcome#destroy
route.rb
root :to => "welcome#index"
match '/:action(/:id)', :controller => "welcome",via: [:get, :post]
resources :welcome do
collection do
get 'portfolio'
end
end
it happens because /:action(/:id) handel each path with format /something/some_id and even /something so you could put it to the end in routes file:
resources :welcome do
collection do
get 'portfolio'
end
end
match '/:action(/:id)', :controller => "welcome",via: [:get, :post]
root :to => "welcome#index"
in this case request to /welcome/portfolio will be handled with resources definition before going to your /:action(/:id) definition.

I'm trying to change the URL name.
This is my routes.rb:
namespace :user_management do
resources :user do
collection do
get 'main'
end
end
end
match ':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))', :via => [:get, :post]
Rake routes:
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
root GET / user_management/login#login
user_main_user_management_user_index GET /user_management/user/main(.:format) user_management/user#main
user_management_user_index GET /user_management/user(.:format) user_management/user#index
POST /user_management/user(.:format) user_management/user#create
new_user_management_user GET /user_management/user/new(.:format) user_management/user#new
edit_user_management_user GET /user_management/user/:id/edit(.:format) user_management/user#edit
user_management_user GET /user_management/user/:id(.:format) user_management/user#show
PATCH /user_management/user/:id(.:format) user_management/user#update
PUT /user_management/user/:id(.:format) user_management/user#update
DELETE /user_management/user/:id(.:format) user_management/user#destroy
GET|POST /:controller(/:action(/:id(.:format))) :controller#:action
My URL is:
localhost/user_management/user/main
And I want:
localhost/user_main
I tried this but it is not working:
namespace :user_management do
resources :user do
collection do
get 'main', as: :user_main
end
end
end
I tried this but is not working either:
namespace :user_management do
resources :user do
collection do
get '/user_main', as: "user_management/user#main
end
end
end
try
match "user_admin", :to => "user_management/user#main"
you can do like in example:
get 'exit', to: 'sessions#destroy', as: :logout # url => /logout

i would like to perform an action on some of my routes, the problem is they are not in a 'resources' block because I need named methods for each. I want to be able to toggle the state of each an attribute in each item in an index type view. I wwas attempting to incorporate this tutorial.
devise_for :admins # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
root 'home#index'
resources :entries, :only => [:index, :new, :create]
namespace :admin do
namespace :entries do
match :pending, :via => [:get, :post], :collection => { :toggle_approve => :put}
match :rejected, :via => [:get, :post], :collection => { :toggle_approve => :put}

I don't know where the collection option is from (I literally can't find reference to it anywhere)
Implementing non-resourceful routes is actually relatively simple:
#config/routes.rb
resources :entries, only: [:index, :new, :create] do
collection do
match :pending, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/pending
match :rejected, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/rejected
match :approved, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/approved
end
end
I don't understand the collection option - I don't think that belongs in your routes. Although having thought about it, I guess you're trying to make it so that if you receive a request to domain.com/entries/toggle_approve_article/pending you'll want to handle the reqeust?
If that's the case, why not just do this:
#config/routes.rb
resources :entries, only: [:index, :new, :create] do
put :toggle_approve #-> domain.com/entries/15/toggle_approve
collection do
match :pending, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/pending
match :rejected, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/rejected
match :approved, via: [:get, :post] #-> domain.com/entries/approved
end
end
i had to understand the difference between member and collections. collections are routes additional to a resource (eg, the restful actions). members are extra routes which can perform actions on their the block.
This...
resources :entries, :only => [:index, :new, :create]
namespace :admin do
resources :entries do
get :pending, on: :collection
get :approved, on: :collection
get :rejected, on: :collection
member do
get :toggle_approve_field
get :toggle_reject_field
end
end
end
yielded this rake routes
entries GET /entries(.:format) entries#index
POST /entries(.:format) entries#create
new_entry GET /entries/new(.:format) entries#new
pending_admin_entries GET /admin/entries/pending(.:format) admin/entries#pending
approved_admin_entries GET /admin/entries/approved(.:format) admin/entries#approved
rejected_admin_entries GET /admin/entries/rejected(.:format) admin/entries#rejected
toggle_approve_field_admin_entry GET /admin/entries/:id/toggle_approve_field(.:format) admin/entries#toggle_approve_field
toggle_reject_field_admin_entry GET /admin/entries/:id/toggle_reject_field(.:format) admin/entries#toggle_reject_field
admin_entries GET /admin/entries(.:format) admin/entries#index
POST /admin/entries(.:format) admin/entries#create
new_admin_entry GET /admin/entries/new(.:format) admin/entries#new
edit_admin_entry GET /admin/entries/:id/edit(.:format) admin/entries#edit
admin_entry GET /admin/entries/:id(.:format) admin/entries#show
PATCH /admin/entries/:id(.:format) admin/entries#update
PUT /admin/entries/:id(.:format) admin/entries#update
DELETE /admin/entries/:id(.:format) admin/entries#destroy
It took a lot of faffing around and I not sure I'd be able to do it upon request without more headache but I certainly have a better idea of rails routing all together. Thanks for the help from #RichPeck
I wish to map new_user path of the user resource to 'ROOT_DOMAIN/new' URL. My routes.rb looks something like this:
#new_user GET /users/new(.:format) users#new
# User Resource
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]
resources :users do
collection do
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]
end
end
So while I'm able to hit the /new URL to the desired action with
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]
but the new_user path still leads to '/users/new'. How to remove the controller_name from the new_user method?
Your new_user_path takes you to user#new because that's how rails build resourceful routes. Have a look at rails guides to learn more. You need to pass the as: option to your routes in order to give them proper helper methods like:
post '/home' => "home#index", as: :home
This will give you two helpers home_path and home_url
Now you have
resources :users do
collection do
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]
end
end
If you do rake routes in your terminal you'll see that new_user helpers are assigned to user#new. You need to give it a different path helper and then assign your new_user helpers to your custom route
resources :users do
collection do
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post], as: :old_new_user
end
end
and then you can use your new_user helper for your custom route
match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post], as: :new_user
You can check your path helper by doing rake routes in terminal
I am attempting to setup my routes.rb so that /sessions/ is not required in the url for logging in and out of the site. Below are my samples to show what I am trying to achieve. Whilst the "second attempt" does in fact do what I want, I'd like to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this. I am very new to rails and I am sure that the routes.rb has some option that can do what I am doing in three large lines.
First attempt
routes.rb
namespace :account do
resources :users
resources :sessions
end
$ rake routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
account_users GET /account/users(.:format) account/users#index
...
account_sessions GET /account/sessions(.:format) account/sessions#index
POST /account/sessions(.:format) account/sessions#create
new_account_session GET /account/sessions/new(.:format) account/sessions#new
edit_account_session GET /account/sessions/:id/edit(.:format) account/sessions#edit
account_session GET /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#show
PATCH /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#update
PUT /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#update
DELETE /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#destroy
Second attempt
routes.rb
namespace :account do
resources :users
match '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new', :via => [:get]
match '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'create', :via => [:post]
match '/logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy', :via => [:delete]
end
$ rake routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
account_users GET /account/users(.:format) account/users#index
...
account_login GET /account/login(.:format) account/sessions#new
POST /account/login(.:format) account/sessions#create
account_logout DELETE /account/logout(.:format) account/sessions#destroy
Can this be done without having to manually specific the match locations? All I want to do is remove /sessions/ as a requirement.
namespace :account do
resources :users #-> account/users
resources :sessions, path: "", path_names: { new: "login", create: "login", destroy: "logout" } #-> accounts/login, accounts/logout
end
I hope you realise you have /login twice in your second example. This simplifies it a bit but you will always have to match each route you want to specify outside any defaults.
namespace :account do
match '/login', to: 'sessions#new', via: [:get]
match '/logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: [:delete]
end
In rails3 we should use with_options in following way:
scope '/account' do
match '/login' => "sessions#new", :as => :login
post '/:login' => 'sessions#create', :as => :signup_create
delete '/:logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => :logout
end
Recently I've tried to update my routes to be more specific in the routing.rb file:
resources :users
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
I removed the resources :users and changed the above to
match 'users/new' => 'users#new'
match 'users/show/:id' => 'users#show', :as => :users_show
match 'users/edit' => 'users#edit'
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
But when I try to click on the same link that I've had before in my layout page using the signup_path (http://localhost:3000/signup), I get the following error:
undefined method `users_path' but I am not using users_path anywhere
Shouldn't it still work? I haven't changed anything else in the other pages. The controller and actions are still the same.
Thanks!
What it tells is that you don have helper method named "users_path", which is created by resources in routes.rb.
Check by yourself with rake routes, what you get with your example:
users_new /users/new.(:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"}
users_show /users/show/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"show"}
users_edit /users/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"edit"}
(and no, you don't need forward slash at the beginning of path).
You defined only routes for some pages (show/new/edit), but you don't have path for index/create/update/destroy actions. Add resource back to routes.rb and check which routes it generates. Remember that by default your match-ed routes match all requests, not specific HTTP methods (like with resource). If you want to fully reassemble this behavior, take a look at documentation (at http://api.rubyonrails.org search for "match") and :via parameter.
Also why do you want to remove resource, and add all paths by yourself? If you want to limit available routes, then there are :only/:except options, you can also pass block and add routes by yourself, just check documentation (at http://api.rubyonrails.org and search for "resources" - it's shame I no longer can get link to specific documentation page and from Rails documentation).
I think basicxman is on the right track. You need a leading '/' in all your routes
Change:
match 'users/new' => 'users#new'
match 'users/show/:id' => 'users#show', :as => :users_show
match 'users/edit' => 'users#edit'
To:
match '/users/new' => 'users#new'
match '/users/show/:id' => 'users#show', :as => :users_show
match '/users/edit' => 'users#edit'
Also, do you still have the resources :users line at the top of your routes.rb? That'll also be necessary.
You have to add a route to create action as well. Probably your signup form points to users_path with POST method which is basically the create action. So add to your routes the following
match 'users' => 'users#create', :via => :post, :as=>:users
For more customization info please see the Rails routing guide
