    <p>Not sure how to frame this so here goes....</p> <p>I have the following link_to tag:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to("My test title",{:controller=&gt;"search", :action=&gt;"for-sale", :title =&gt; listing.title, :search_term =&gt; search_term, :id=&gt; listing.id}) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>and the following custom route in my routes.rb file:</p> <pre><code>map.connect ':controller/:action/:title/search_item/:id', :controller=&gt;'search', :action=&gt;'for_sale' </code></pre> <p>which generates a very nice SEO friendly URL:</p> <pre><code>/search/for-sale/sometitle/searchterm/123456 </code></pre> <p>How can I remove the :action param from both, the problem is when I take out the :action option &amp; change my link_to tag to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to("My test title",{:controller=&gt;"search", :title =&gt; listing.title, :search_term =&gt; search_term, :id=&gt; listing.id}) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>and my custom route to:</p> <pre><code>map.connect ':controller/:title/search_item/:id', :controller=&gt;'search', :action=&gt;'for_sale' </code></pre> <p>The URL generated is no longer SEO friendly and very ugly:</p> <pre><code>/search?title=test&amp;search_term=test&amp;id=1141409 </code></pre> <p>My custom route is redirecting to the correct action within the controller so there is no need for action option to be in the URL. Anytime I remove or rename the :action option to something else - the URL gets "distorted", do you know how I can do this?</p> <p>Been trying a number of options but nothing seems to work.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

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).
