[Beginning Rails 3] Listing 7-2. Updated app/controllers/users_controller.rb

users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @user = User.new
  end
  
  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
    if @user.save
      redirect_to articles_path, :notice => 'User successfully added.'
    else
      render :action => 'new'
    end
  end
  
  def edit
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
  end
  
  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
      redirect_to articles_path, :notice => 'Updated user information successfully.'
    else
      render :action => 'edit'
    end
  end
end

Should the 'redirect_to' be pointing to 'users_path' or is 'articles_path' correct' ?

"redirect_to articles_path" is correct. As you can see in this controller (UserController) there is no 'index' action to list all users. We used "articles_path" to redirect to after an update or a creation of a user happen.

Thank you. Still learning... Very different from C# winforms but I really like what I see.

In Book you said, Updated app/controllers/users_controller.rb: http://gist.github.com/337147 .. But this gist is not updated as per the code in the book. Book's code is correct only. Here is the correct gist which this gist supposed to contain.
