    <p>So currently I have a nested project. It starts with floors=>switches=>jacks. I have everything working up through trying to create a new jack. When I am in the switch show there is an open field for a new jack and a create button. When I type in the jack number and hit create is when the error arises. Assuming all other code is correct (let me know if you want to see any other code), what is wrong with my create method in my jacks controller?</p> <p>apps/controllers/jacks_controller.rb:</p> <pre><code> ... def create @floor = Floor.find(params[:floor_id]) @switch = @floor.switches.find(params[:switch_id]) @jack = @switch.jacks.create(params[:jack]) redirect_to(@switch) end ... </code></pre> <p>The error it gives me is "No route matches [POST] "/floors/1/switches/1" ". This also makes no sense to me because that is the exact URL for the current switch I'm adding jacks to.</p> <p>Thanks in advance to anyone who can explain what I'm doing wrong or my misunderstanding!</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Here is my rake routes:</p> <pre><code> floor_switch_jacks GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks(.:format) jacks#index POST /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks(.:format) jacks#create new_floor_switch_jack GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks/new(.:format) jacks#new edit_floor_switch_jack GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks/:id/edit(.:format) jacks#edit floor_switch_jack GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks/:id(.:format) jacks#show PUT /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks/:id(.:format) jacks#update DELETE /floors/:floor_id/switches/:switch_id/jacks/:id(.:format) jacks#destroy floor_switches GET /floors/:floor_id/switches(.:format) switches#index POST /floors/:floor_id/switches(.:format) switches#create new_floor_switch GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/new(.:format) switches#new edit_floor_switch GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:id/edit(.:format) switches#edit floor_switch GET /floors/:floor_id/switches/:id(.:format) switches#show PUT /floors/:floor_id/switches/:id(.:format) switches#update DELETE /floors/:floor_id/switches/:id(.:format) switches#destroy floors GET /floors(.:format) floors#index POST /floors(.:format) floors#create new_floor GET /floors/new(.:format) floors#new edit_floor GET /floors/:id/edit(.:format) floors#edit floor GET /floors/:id(.:format) floors#show PUT /floors/:id(.:format) floors#update DELETE /floors/:id(.:format) floors#destroy home_index GET /home/index(.:format) home#index root / home#index </code></pre> <p>Is this good for the routes.rb? Otherwise my routes.rb is very basic, haven't touched it much at all. If that's where my problem is, could you help or send me to a tutorial that doesn't gloss over the routes.rb part?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I fixed it. The problem was in the form for line in my jacks/_form.html.erb. The correct syntax was:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for [@floor, @switch, @switch.jacks.new] do |f| %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks to anyone who tried to help, it was appreciated!</p>

    1. COCan you post the relevant part of your routes.rb file? If you can browse to /floors/1/switches/1 but can't post there, that sounds like a routing issue.

    3. COWell, I don't see any route that looks like `POST /floors/:floor_id/switches/:id`, which is what the error is saying doesn't exist.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
