Question

I found somewhere what :back option in link_to helper has this code:

@controller.request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] || 'javascript:history.back()

where i can change it?

Answer 1

It is actually uses url_for helper. You can override it in a helper. For example, put it in application_helper.rb in your Rails app:

def url_for(options = {})
  if options == :back
    # replace this with your code
    controller.request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] || 'javascript:history.back()'
  else
    super(options)
  end
end
