I have a link that looks like this
index.html#/calendar/year/month
This is how I set up my routes:
App.Router.map(function(
The router is for more than a url manager. It manages the state for the entire application. In order to fully help you it would be better to see more code. Have you created routes? Are you just trying to go to a 'url' that is not handled by the ember app?
this.transistionTo(routeName) expects to receive a named route as far a I know. It will then generate the correct url for that route. If you have not setup any routes then I don't think you are able to use it.
