Error after attempting to link_to partials

Question

Using this previous question as a guide, I've attempted to create a ul navigation header above a container that renders partials within the container when clicked. (Hopefully that makes some sense, but it may not be important.) Until the links for the partials are clicked, I have it rendering a partial by default.

However, when I went to click my link_to in hopes of rendering the partial I get the following error:

uninitialized constant ProfileController

I'm using Rails 3. Here's my relevant code:

ProfilesController:

def show_about
  @is_on_show_about = true
end

def show_info
  @is_on_show_info = true
end

views/profiles/show.html.erb:

<div id="info">
  <div id="infoContainer">
    <% if @is_on_show_about %>
      <%= render :partial => 'show_about' %>
    <% elsif @is_on_show_info %>
      <%= render :partial => 'show_info' %>
    <% end %>
    <ul id="info">
      <li>
        <%= link_to 'About', show_about_path, :remote => true %>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <ul id="settingsLinks">
      <li><a href="#">Advice</a></li>
      <li>
        <%= link_to 'Info', show_info_path, :remote => true %>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <%= render :partial => 'show_about' %>

Routes.rb:

map.show_info 'profiles/:id/info', :controller => 'profile', :action => 'show_info'
map.show_about 'profiles/:id/about', :controller => 'profile', :action => 'show_about'

Can anyone help me fix this and explain what went wrong?

Answer 1

Both of your routes are incorrect.

If your controller is indeed named ProfilesController (plural) then your routes should use :controller => 'profiles', instead of :controller => 'profile'.
