Question

I have a filter bar on my page. The bar should always be in place, however only when I’m on the detail page I want to show a link <- back to list inside of it. Otherwise the filter bar should be empty. What is the most elegant way of doing this in rails 3 or 3.1?

Thanks
Thomas

Answer 1

To return to previous page you can use link_to "Back", :back

To show or hide the link you can use the controller_name and action_name methods with a if/unless conditional.
