This is much more natural as the index is usually more semantically meaninful than the show where these routes collide. The show route is still generated, but at a lower priority, so that the named route can be used even though it will be recognized as the nested resource's index action. Example usage: map.resources :threads, :show => :posts, do |threads| threads.resources :posts end b3a53a7a91529f78d58f0020b81b829aff36aa5e Chris Eppstein chris@eppsteins.net
