Body
I have my routes arranged so that when visiting the site the <code>:id</code> is displayed before the slug like so <pre><code>match "/causes/:id/:slug" => "causes#show", :as => :cause, :via => 'get' </code></pre> But I also have a nested attribute called "post" that belongs to causes like so <pre><code>match "/causes/:id/:slug/posts" => "causes#posts", :via => 'get', :as => :posts </code></pre> When I use this, everything works great for the causes, but not for the posts. If I use <pre><code>@post = Post.find(params[:id]) </code></pre> in causes or posts controller it always looks for the ID of the causes, and not the :id of the posts. So if the post <code>:id</code> is 9, and the cause <code>:id</code> is 1, and I use <pre><code>@post = Post.find(params[:id]) </code></pre> it will always look for <code>post[1]</code> and not 9 or whatever the post id really is. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to make this work in the routes, or maybe a different way to find the id of a nested object in the controller? I need the route to be the way I have it set up, <code>:id/:slug...</code> rake routes information: <pre><code> cause GET /causes/:id/:slug(.:format) causes#show edit_cause GET /causes/:id/:slug/edit(.:format) causes#edit PUT /causes/:id/:slug(.:format) causes#update posts GET /causes/:id/:slug/posts(.:format) causes#posts POST /causes/:id/:slug/posts(.:format) PUT /causes/:id/:slug/posts(.:format) causes#update_post DELETE /causes/:id/:slug/posts(.:format) causes#destroy_post causes GET /causes(.:format) causes#index POST /causes(.:format) causes#create </code></pre> Any help would be great.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
