everything works for me, except the last part. When I try to change category names to links (which list recipes in a category), the .../recipe/list fails as: ActionController::ActionControllerError in Recipe#list Showing /recipe/list.rhtml where line #23 raised Unknown options: category 20: </font> 21: </td> 22: <td> 23: <%= link_to recipe.category.name, 24: :action => "list", 25: :category => "#{recipe.category.name}" %> 26: </td> c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.4.0/lib/action_controller/url_rewriter.rb:31:in `validate_options' ... obviously it won't accept 'category' as a parameter to a link. Where is this set? method list in recipe_controller is as it should be (everything else too probably).

Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.

  I sorry, to have to respond like this, but I'm under a real tight deadline for the next few days (read extreme lack of sleep). I think the best thing to do is to post this problem to the rails mailing list. You can find a link to subscribe to it here:
  
  
  http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HomePage
  
  Be sure and tell them what version of Rails you are running (you can find out by running the command gem list).
  
  The Rails ML (and the Ruby ML) is a very friendly developer community. You could also go on the Rails IRC channel for more immediate feedback (info is on the same link above).
