Question

I have a controller and I current have it using redirect going to another controller, I know I can pass data around using the :query…

Is there any way I can do this without the use of http as I’m finding it impossible to send a hash using http.

I cant find this information any where, what is the most common way of sharing data (slash sending) data from one controller to another?

please help been working on this for hours, btw am new to RoR

If you are redirecting the browser, you will have to use the query option as redirect actually tells the browser to make another request to a different path.

If you just want to render the other controllers action you could call:

render :template=>"path to view you want to render"

As for actually calling the other action? You could distill (refactor) the logic into a lib and call the same logic from both controllers, then use the same view for both..
