If I put this in route.rb get '/products/:id', to: 'products#edit' edit action should be called when the url format is /patients/:id does this mean it will be redirected to edit page? I tried this and it is not redirecting.

The route you've got there doesn't do a redirect, it maps the url /patients/:id to the edit action of the PatientsController.
When a user hits the /patients/id url, the edit action will be invoked. By default this tries to render a view with the same name as the action.
If you want to render an edit page, create a view in the /app/views/patients folder called edit.html.erb.
(By the way, the GET /model/:id route is generally used for the show action.)

In my users photo album page they see photos they have uploaded and each photo has a 'make default' link on it.
When the user clicks make default, then the id of the photo is stored in the photo_id column of my profiles table.
The issue is redirecting them back to:
localhost:3000/settings/photo_gallery/:id
Is there a way I can redirect back to the photo album using the id of the photo that has just been set as the default? Can Rails find what album I want to redirect to just by looking at the id of a photo, as a photo belongs to a photo album, and a photo album has many photos?
I have the following tables in my database:
User(s): has one profile, has many PhotoAlbums
Profile(s): belongs to user
PhotoAlbum(s): belongs to user, has many photos
Photo(s): belongs to PhotoAlbum
Controller action:
def set_default_profile_photo
photo = Profile.find_by_user_id(current_user.id)
photo.photo_id = params[:photo_id]
photo.save
redirect_to "**HERE IS WHERE I'D LIKE TO REDIRECT TO THE PHOTOALBUM THE PHOTO IS IN**"
flash[:success] = "Default photo set!"
end

This is what you want:
redirect_to request.referrer
For further reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer
redirect_to :back worked for me but I want to see if this was the right choice
http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/redirecting_rb.html
In Rails 5 it was introduced the function:
redirect_back(fallback_location: root_path)
It does redirect back whenever the HTTP_REFERER is known. Otherwise it redirects to the fallback_location.
The redirect_to :back is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 5.1.
In one project we used the session for temporary storage, because redirect_to :back did not work for us.
We had an def new where we set session[:return_to] = request.referer
in the def create we added redirect_to session[:return_to].
I do not know anymore, why we could not use redirect_to :back
If you came from the photo_album page, you should be able to do:
redirect_to :back
Otherwise, you should be able to do a named route like:
redirect_to photo_album_path(photo.album_id) # or whatever the association key is
BTW, why do you have photo_albums mapping to photo_galleries? It's a lot less confusing if you named your resources and routes in a similiar manner. ie: if you wanted your route endpoints to use /photo_galleries you should name your resource PhotoGallery.
"sign_in" works fine but clicking on "sign_out" link locks up during routing (see routes.rb below).
Not sure where to proceed. I'm using RubyMine (IDE) debugger.
I click on a link from layout/applications.html.erb:
<%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path) %>
RM Debugger watchlist shows: destroy_user_session_path="/user/sign_out"
When I sign_in as a user I breakpoint in "../devise/sessions_controller.rb#sign_in" and that all works
fine when I continue.
The status change gives me a "sign_out" link in my applications.html layout but when I click
there I get above routine error. I don't get breakpoints in "../application_controller.rb"
or "../devise/sessions_controller.rb#sign_out"
Here is routes.rb
Demo::Application.routes.draw do
# replace devise_for :users with:
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "devise/registrations" }
get "user/show"
get "user/edit"
get "user/index"

Change your link to
<%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method=>'delete') %>
e.g. add `:method=>'delete'
I'm getting a no method error when loading form for a nested resource. I have a fix for it but it's not right I'm sure.
My routes.rb contains:
resources :orders do
resources :comments, :technicals, :milestones
end
At the top of my techncials.html.erb form I have this:
<%= semantic_form_for([#order, #technical]) do |f| %>
When loading the form, I get an error:
> NoMethodError in Technicals#new
>
> undefined method `technicals_path' for
> #<#<Class:0x00000102118318>:0x000001020ec470>
If I then put this in my routes, it all works just fine:
resources :technicals, :only => [ :create ]
What on earth am I doing wrong, if anything??!
Edit: I think My models etc. are all set up correctly:
class Technical < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :order
end

NoMethodError in Technicals#new

If not, try adding one:

end
I have the followed Rails 3 routes:
Hello::Application.routes.draw do
resources :blogs do

resources :comments
end
end
end
By raking them, we can find:

Because every routes begin with the same root path (/blogs), I would like to shorten addresses by removing it (when :blog_id is given).
In this why, I could have thoses routes (I think it's more DRY):

blog_article_comments POST /:blog_id/articles/:article_id/comments(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"comments"}

According to you, what kind of change I should make over my current routes configuration?
Thanks.
My opinion is that you need to look at shallow routes. To my knowledge the customisation you are asking is not achievable using route resources and I don't think it's desirable.
Where you have defined one to many relationships you do not need to pass the identifier for each of the nested resources. This is considered bad practice (by some, though not others). For example, instead of this long url:
/blog/:blog_id/articles/:article_id/comments/:id
#controller
#blog = Blog.find params[:blog_id]
#article = Blog.find params[:article_id]
#comment = Comment.find params[:id]
you actually need only:
/comments/:id
#controller
#comment = Comment.find params[:id]
#article = #comment.article
#blog = #article.blog
More info:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/139-nested-resources
"Resources should never be nested more than 1 level deep." (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html)
If the Rails documentation is making this strong of a recommendation I have no idea why it is allowed still.
Here's my route configuration:
map.resources :services do |services|
services.resources :capabilities do |capabilities|
capabilities.resources :http_headers
end
end
Here's my "rake routes" output:

When I go to /services/new though, I get this error:
NameError in ServicesController#new
uninitialized constant ServicesController::Services
What gives? How can I get things working and routed correctly? Thanks.
Is ServicesController backed up by a model Service? Did you accidentally reference it as Services in your controller?
This probably doesn't have anything to do with your routes; your new method in ServicesController is trying to use a (class? constant? object?) named Services that doesn't exist.
