Rails simulate nested resources with basic views from same controller - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

If in views/abouts/ I have "index.html.haml" and "history.html.haml".
How can I access to abouts#history which is a basic html page.
From log I get this error, I guess it is processing it as a show, what can I do?:
Processing by AboutsController#show as HTML
Parameters: {"id"=>"history"}
About Load (0.3ms) SELECT `abouts`.* FROM `abouts` WHERE (`abouts`.`id` = 0) LIMIT 1
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find About with ID=history):
routes.rb
scope() do
resources :abouts, :path => 'about-us' do
match 'about-us/history' => "about-us#history"
end
end
abouts_controller.rb
def history
respond_to do |format|
format.html
end
end

Answer 1

A few problems. First, you should be matching 'history' and not 'about-us/history' (the route is nested so the 'about-us/' part is automatically included). Second, you need to specify that the route should match the collection, not a member of the collection, with the :on => :collection option. Finally, you should be routing the match to 'abouts#history' and not 'about-us#history' (because the controller is named abouts regardless of what path string you use when routing).
So try this:
resources :abouts, :path => 'about-us' do
match 'history' => "abouts#history", :on => :collection
end
Also note that match will match all HTTP requests: POST as well as GET. I'd suggest using get rather than match, to narrow the HTTP request type to just GET requests:
resources :abouts, :path => 'about-us' do
get 'history' => "abouts#history", :on => :collection
end
Hope that helps.
