    <p>I'm trying to make a simple link that will toggle my "status" attribute in my model from "pending" to "active". For example, when I first create a user, I set the status to "pending". Then when I show the list of users, I add a button that should change that user's status to "active". I tried this via a custom action (is this a good approach?) but I'm having trouble with the auto-generated named route. </p> <p>in my user index.html.haml: <code>button_to "Manually Activate", activate_user_path</code></p> <p>in routes.rb:</p> <pre><code>resources :users do get :activate, :on =&gt; :member </code></pre> <p>in users_controller.rb:<br></p> <pre><code> def activate @user = User.find(params[:id]) @user.update_attribute(:status, 'Active') redirect_to @user end </code></pre> <p>this seems to work when I go to say, /users/1/activate, as the status will update. However, the /users page doesn't show and gives me error: </p> <pre><code>ActionController::RoutingError in Users#index No route matches {:action=&gt;"activate", :controller=&gt;"users"} </code></pre> <p>ie, it is having a problem with the activate_user_path I specified in my view. (However if I use another named-routes-style path that I haven't specified in my routes.rb to test it out, I get</p> <pre><code>NameError in Users#index undefined local variable or method `blahblah_user_url' for #&lt;#&lt;Class:0x00000102bd5d50&gt;:0x00000102bb9588&gt; </code></pre> <p>so it seems that it knows it's in the routes.rb but something else is wrong? I'm really new to rails and would appreciate the help! 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.
