  1. POHow can I change the default parameter names in Rails 3 routing?
    text
    copied!<p>In my Rails 3 project I have a list of routes like this:</p> <pre><code>resources :projects do resources :studies end resources :sticky_notes resources :study_templates ... </code></pre> <p>Currently by default the ids in the URLs from these routes can be called with params[:id], but I want to be able to call them with params[:sticky_note_id], params[:study_template_id], params[:study_id], etc. Is there a way I can specify the parameter name for the ID of these projects? Do I have to write each route out manually without 'resources'?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Edit: Here's an example of what i'm trying to do: This is what happens when the routes are defined as written above:</p> <pre><code>resources :projects do resources :studies end # results in /projects/:project_id/studies/:id # /projects/:project_id/studies/:id/edit # /projects/:project_id/studies/:id/new # etc. resources :sticky_notes # results in /sticky_notes/:id # /sticky_notes/:id/edit # /sticky_notes/:id/new # etc. </code></pre> <p>This is what I want:</p> <pre><code>match '/projects/:project_id/studies/:study_id' =&gt; 'studies#show' match '/projects/:project_id/studies/:study_id/edit' =&gt; 'studies#edit' match '/projects/:project_id/studies/:study_id/new' =&gt; 'studies#new' ... # results in /projects/:project_id/studies/:study_id # /projects/:project_id/studies/:study_id/edit # etc match '/sticky_notes/:sticky_note_id' =&gt; 'sticky_notes#show' match '/sticky_notes/:sticky_note_id/edit' =&gt; 'sticky_notes#edit' match '/sticky_notes/:sticky_note_id/new' =&gt; 'sticky_notes#new' ... # results in /sticky_notes/:sticky_note_id # /sticky_notes/:sticky_note_id/edit # etc </code></pre> <p>I want the second part, but without all that work on my already-huge routes file. :) is it possible?</p>
