Question

As ActionController::Base#default_url_options is deprecated, I wonder how to set default url options in rails3. The default url options are not static but dependent of the current request.

To set url options for current request use something like this in your controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  def url_options
    { :profile => current_profile }.merge(super)
  end

end

Now, :profile => current_profile will be automerge to path/url parameters.

Example routing:

scope ":profile" do
  resources :comments
end

Just write:

comments_path

and if current_profile has set to_param to ‘lucas’:

/lucas/comments
