Hi Madhum,
We are working on top of your app(which is very nice) but we ran into a very weird problem, We have a controller and created a show method for it, the route is 'app.get("/:id/details, controller.action")' but when we hit the route from the browser we get errors, something on the lines of 'cast to objectID',

Will appreciate any kind of help.

Regards,
Babar Rehman

I think you are having issue with the order of the route.

For example

app.get('/posts/:id', posts.load)
app.get('/posts/details', posts.details)

would cause the cast to objectID error because mongoose tries to find a post with the id details. So you need to order your routes appropriately. Hope you will be able to figure out in your code.

Hi Madhum,

I created a load method in the Controller and created the pattern that you followed for the Articles, but now I am not able to get to the controllers details page, any help would be appreciated.
