My day to ask obvious questions

[eric...@gmail.com]

Having not used 2.x I'm a bit confused at some of the behavior I'm seeing. 

I'm trying to use a fairly straightforward linkto 

#linkTo(text="#tournaments.tournamentSeasonName#", action="detail")#

I've played with this multiple different ways (and yes - I've reloaded and verified that it does indeed reload).

The result is just 127.0.0.1:8888/index.cfm 

I've also tried the following:

#linkTo(text="Log Out", controller="home", action="logout")#<br/>

#linkTo(text="View Settings", action="settings", params="show=all&;sort=asc")#

Both result as follows:

http://127.0.0.1:8888/index.cfm/

http://127.0.0.1:8888/index.cfm/&show=all&sort=asc

Why isn't the action showing up?  Is there some sort of special routing I need to do that isn't required in 1.4.x?

Routes in 2.x are the single biggest change. I'm assuming you've migrated all your routes from addRoute() to the new mapper() syntax?

There are still a few quirks (https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels/issues/1046) but generally, the key thing is include the route name in the linkTo() as it's more efficient (and more consistent in behaviour)
i.e 

assuming you have something like 

.get(name="logout", to="home##logout")
in your routes file, then this:

#linkTo(route="logout", text="Log Out")# 

should work nicely.

Basically a single route name works a load better than having to specify both controller and action manually.
