Rails 3: Adding paths to routes for a new controller?

Question

I created a new controller for one of my models called Review and named it review_controller, I injected show and update methods into it, but I can not get them to work because the rails did not add paths for the two methods.

I tried to put the following file in the routes file: match "/review/update/:id", :to => "review#update"

But this gives me ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find Review with ID=update): app/controllers/review_controller.rb:16:in `update'

How can I add the path to the routes file to force my update and show the methods?

thanks

For the new controller in Rails 3, you can let Rails create routes for you as follows:

 resources :review, :only => [:show, :update] 

And then, if you have to run rake routes in the terminal, you will see:

 review GET /review/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"review"} PUT /review/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"review"}
