RoR custom routing/Method/View problem all methods come back as undefined
- by Jeff
I am playing with custom view and routes. I think that I have everything right but obviously not. Essentially I tried to copy the show method and show.html.erb but for some reason it will not work.
My controller
class fatherController < ApplicationController
def show
@father = Father.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @father }
end
end
def ofmine
@father = Father.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @father }
end
end
end
My routes.rb
Parent::Application.routes.draw do
resources :fathers do
resources :kids
end
match 'hospitals/:id/ofmine' => 'father#show2'
end
when I go to
127.0.0.1:/father/1
it works fine but when I try to go to
127.0.0.1:/father/1/ofmine
it gives the following error. It doesn't matter what the variable/method that is called; it occurs at the first one to be displayed. Both show.html.erb and show2.html.erb are the exact same files
My Error from webserver commandline

Extracted source (around line #7):

If anyone could tell me what in the world I am doing wrong I would appreciate it greatly.
