Destroy method doesn't work when using custom routes in Rails

#route开发者_开发技巧s.rb
map.connect '/articles/new', :controller => 'articles', :action => 'new'
map.connect '/articles/:author_name', :controller => 'articles', :action => 'show'
map.connect '/articles/:author_name/edit', :controller => 'articles', :action => 'edit'

map.resources :articles, :comments

When I got to /articles/test and click delete, it does nothing. I'm guessing my custom routes are preventing it, how do I solve it?

Thanks

I think you want to rethink what you are doing here.

I would rely on the path prefix instead of defining overlapping routes:

map.resources :articles, :path_prefix => '/articles/:author_name', :name_prefix => 'article_'

That or see if you can define your resource like this:

map.resources :articles, :belongs_to => :author

I know you can do that with a :has_many and you get the namespacing you want, but not positive about belongs_to.

The reason I was doing that was before I couldn't get to params to work. Or more specifically Rails won't find it.

#Articles controller
@article = Article.find_by_name(params[:name])

#Article model
def to_param
  name
end  def to_param
name

end

I looked around and they all say to do that, but it won't work for me for some reason. I get Couldn't find Article with ID=test error.
