set route as below:

match "export" => "abcs#export" ,:as => :export_abcs

or u can add in abcs resources if u had defined

map.resources :abcs  do 

collection do
  get :export
end

end

You need to define url in routes.rb set url according to your controller and action.

Thanks

Comment on Passing data from child window to parent window by ratheesh

ratheesh — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:39:48 +0000

Im opening a child window and am returning the value from child to parent . I would also want to process that value in the parent , i use the location.href to refresh the parent page from the child by which i lose the value on page load . Is there any work around this other than sessions or __doPostBack ?

Comment on Google Maps in rails 3 by Rob

RAILS_ROOT is now Rails.root. See http://quaran.to/blog/2010/02/03/the-rails-module/

My fix for key.rb is below. You can’t just search/replace RAILS_ROOT (or RAILS_ENV) because it’s a Pathname now. Try these in the console:
Rails.root + ‘/config/file.yml’
“#{Rails.root}/config/file.yml”
Rails.root.join(‘config’,'file.yml’)
