Re: [PhillyOnRails] action aliases

[Cliff Moon <cliff@moonpolysoft.com>]

Use routes.  In your routes.rb file, you should add a line that looks 
like so:

map.connect '/mycontroller/add', :controller => 'mycontroller', :action 
=> 'view'

Where mycontroller should be replaced with the name of your controller.  
And make sure to insert that above the default routes.  You'll know the 
default routes because of the comment that describes them as such.
