my Rake Routes looks like this:

report GET /management/:id/report(.:format) report#show

In my controller code how can I access that :id parameter? Is it still by .params[:id] ?

I think I am confused because this time id is not the last thing in a URL and it is in the middle of the URL.

Yes you can acces to the params you defined in your routes like you said:

# The route 
# /management/:id/report(.:format)
# will generate the following params:
params[:id]
params[:format] # optional

Another example:

match ':controller(/:action(/:id))'
# will produce the following params:
params[:controller]
params[:action] # (optional)
params[:id] # (optional)

match '/search/:search'
# will produce, in the SearchController (and views):
params[:search]

so it is working by the "name" of the params? if I was naming it "provider_id" I could call that in the code? that's cool. Did I understand it correctly?
Yes you do understand it correctly @user1899082! You can name your params as you want ;)

It is params[:id]. It's just a named parameter that doesn't have to be the last part of the url. If it doesn't work please provide your routes.
