Rails Routing (root :to => …)

Question

I know how to set the routes root of my rails app to a controller and an action.

But how to add an id?

/pages/show/1 should be the root.

How

Answer 1

Try:

 match 'pages/show/:id' => 'pages#show', :as => :root

In Rails console. rake routes | grep root, should show something like:

root     /pages/show/:id(.:format)      {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"show"}

Hope that helps.
