In rails 2.3.5 you could do something like this inside the routes.rb file:
map.root :controller => "pages", :action => "show", :id => 3
In rails 3 I haven't found any way to pass a specific parameter (like in rails 2.3.5 with :id => 3).
I know I can handle it from the controller and have the same result (which I did), but I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing in rails 3 from the routes.rb or has it changed because it is better practice for some reason?
