When I try to edit a record which use friendly_id, it gives me a no route match error

Question

I am using friendly_id for my Product model. Here's my routes :

resources :products, only: :show

scope '/dash' do
   resources :products
end

Now when I go to the edit action, I used friendly ID to load the correct form. The edit form loads correctly. But when I submit it, it gives an error like this :

No route matches [PATCH] "/products/P011700714"

How can I fix this?

The form for tag :

<%= form_for( edit_product_path(@product) ) do |f| %>

Follow these steps,

Remove resources :products, only: :show from your routes as that is what causing the problem, as you only need show action without the scope I would recommend you to add this line instead of resources :products, only: :show
```
get '/products/:id', to: 'products#show'
```
Change your form_for tag to
```
<%= form_for @product do |f| %>
```

Fetch the record using slug

def edit
  @product = Product.where("slug=? or id=?", params[:id], params[:id]).first
  # your code
end

Hope this helps!

Actually I don't want the show action. I want to go to `update` – THpubs Mar 20 '15 at 07:14
Isn't it possible to do it by keeping the rest of the product actions under /dash like in my routes file? – THpubs Mar 20 '15 at 07:24
Yes you can do that, edit your question and add routes for the `dash` scope, that would help me answering the question – Rajdeep Singh Mar 20 '15 at 07:25
It's already there in the original question `scope '/dash' do resources :products end` – THpubs Mar 20 '15 at 07:39
No I asked you to add results of the `rake routes`, anyways no need to do that now as I have already edited my answer again. This should definitely solve your problem! – Rajdeep Singh Mar 20 '15 at 07:43

Perfect! Thanks a lot! That worked. Removing resources and adding only get for show action solved the problem! – THpubs Mar 20 '15 at 07:48
