Mapping action in rails

In my routs.rb I have the following lines

CyberTrackRails3::Application.routes.draw do
  scope "(:locale)", :locale => /en|de|nl/ do
    resources :transfusion do
      get 'detail', :on => :collection
    end
  end
end

Next line

url_for( :controller => :transfusion, :action => :detail, 
            :id => bloodselection[:id]

gets mapped to /nl/transfusion/detail?id=162106

How do I map it to /nl/transfusion/162106 so that controller understands it as id being 162106?

The Rails routing engine pluralizes collections by default, so if you want the defaults to work out of the box, you should use the plural, transfusions

Then instead of url_for, you could use transfusion_path to get /nl/transfusions/12345

If you insist on using the singular form in the URL, you can override the path segment as

resources :transfusions, path: "transfusion" do …

which would let you get /nl/transfusion/12345 instead.

That happens because you are setting the detail action on collection, to follow your url structure, it needs to be defined on member.

ie,

CyberTrackRails3::Application.routes.draw do
  scope "(:locale)", :locale => /en|de|nl/ do
    resources :transfusion do
      get 'detail', :on => :member
    end
  end
end
