How to add new view to Ruby on Rails Spree commerce app?

Question

A very basic question that I cannot seem to solve is how to add a new view to my Ruby on Rails Spree commerce application. What I want to do is have a link next to the Home link in the _main_nav_bar.html.erb and when you click it have displayed an about page at the place where the products are displayed. So: ``` home about cart --------------------- things of the HOME page --------------------- footer ``` Click on about leads to: ``` home about cart --------------------- things of the ABOUT page --------------------- footer ``` In views/shared/_main_nav_bar.html.erb the link I created (based on the home link) looks as follows: ```

<%= link_to Spree.t(:about), spree.about %>

You need to do in routes.rb: ``` Spree::Core::Engine.routes.prepend do get '/about', :to => 'about#index', :as => :about end ``` or without the `Spree::Core` scope: ``` get '/about', :to => 'spree/about#index', :as => :about ``` Because, you have your about_controller.rb i.e. `AboutController` defined inside `Spree` module. And, hence you'll have to reference the spree namespace in your route to set it properly. In your views: ```

<%= link_to Spree.t(:about), spree.about_path %>

``` or ```

<%= link_to Spree.t(:about), main_app.about_path %>

```
