Question

I have a common partial for index where i want to insert some links.
On this links i would like to use the named_routes, like

link_to "Say hi",things_path(:param1=>:hello, :params2=>:there)

but i dont know if things_path is users_path, places_path or reviews_path, because this partial is shared for all controllers. There is any way to get the named route associated to the class or the current controller.
I want something like this

link_to "Say hi", path_of(@current_class)(:param1=>:hello, :params2=>:there)

Answer 1

A path helper like cars_path is ultimately just a shortcut to setting :controller, :action and other params like :id. If you want to make the controller always equal to the current controller you can just say

link_to “Say hi”, :action => “index”, :param1=>:hello, :params2=>:there

Because the :controller option is omitted, it will be assumed to be the current controller.
