I have two models Jobs and Questions. A job has many questions and questions belong to a job. I've set up the resources in the model, as well as the routes. I am having an issue trying to link_to the Show method of the questions controller on the questions#index page. My rake routes say that the path should be job_question_path with the two necessary :id's being :job_id and :id , so I tried:
<td><%= link_to 'Show', job_question_path(@job, question) %></td>
and got the error:
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"questions", :job_id=>nil, :id=>#<Question id: 1, job_id: 1, question1: "sfsdfssfs", question2: "sfsdfs", question3: "sfsdf", question4: "sfsdfsf", question5: "sfsfsfs", created_at: "2011-06-21 03:25:12", updated_at: "2011-06-21 03:25:12">}
I've tried multiple other combos and nothing is seeming to work, I keep getting:
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"questions", :job_id=>nil }
or some combination of that.
The part I don't get is that I can put in the url /jobs/1/questions/1 and it takes me to the show page, so I am assuming that my questions#show methods are ok. See below for the rest of my code.
Questions#index view
<% @questions.each do |question| %>
<tr>
<td><%= question.question1 %></td>
<td><%= question.question2 %></td>
<td><%= question.question3 %></td>
<td><%= question.question4 %></td>
<td><%= question.question5 %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Show', job_question_path(@job, question) %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
Questions Controller
def index
@questions = Question.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @questions }
end
end
def show
@job = Job.find(params[:job_id])
@question = @job.questions.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @question }
end
end
Models
class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :questions
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :job
Routes.rb
root :to => "pages#home"
resources :jobs do
resources :questions
end
get "pages/home"
get "pages/about"
get "pages/contact"
See this https://gist.github.com/1032734 for my rake routes.
Thanks for any help in advance, i've been at this for a while now and just can't figure out the solution. Please let me know if you need any more info.
