I have a primary model for my project, Place.rb with a places_controller, and I've currently got it exactly the way I want for the users end of my project. With a nested photos controller, review, etc.

I want now to create a management resource which is mostly just an alias for Places, with its own nested resources, some of them overlapping, some of them new.

I tried creating a new controller for it called Manage, but I'm having a hard time with routes. I'm not quite sure the hangup is, but I figure I'm doing something very wrong. I had little difficulty when I was using Places as controller to a real model and nesting other resources below it.

But for example trying to create a new record for a nested resource doesn't route correctly.

I can get a route path like new_manage_room_path(@place) for a link_to to work fine. But

for creating a New announcement in a form:

form_for manage_room_path(@place) doesn't work correctly given a valid id. I've tried many other combinations supplying the object and :url.

Should I avoid using a separate controller and just create an alias or what is the special routing for this purpose?

map.resources :manage, :collection => { :upcoming => [ :post, :get ], :pending => [ :post, :get ] } do |manage|
  manage.resources :rooms
  manage.resources :room_rates, :as => :rates
  manage.resources :availables
  manage.resources :manage_bookings, :as => :bookings
end

map.resources :places do |place|
  place.resources :bookings
  place.resources :photos, :collection => { :sort => :post }
  place.resources :reviews, :only => [ :index, :show ]
end

+1  A: 

Try:

<% form_for @new_room, :url => manage_rooms_path(@place)  do |f| %>

or maybe it will work this way:

<% form_for manage_rooms_path(@place, @new_room)  do |f| %>

@new_room is new instance of Room model, so in controller add:

@new_room = Room.new

I thought I tried every combination. Thanks, that works.
