Question

I have a problem due to scopes and the form_for helper in rails 3.
The routes – file looks like this:

scope "(/:tab)" do
  resources :article
end

The form looks something like this:

<%= form_for(@article) %>
   <%= f.label :title %>
   <%= f.text_field :title %>
    etc.
<%end%>

The tab – attribute is stored in params[:tab], as a string
My problem is that this genereate wrong urls in the form. How could I get this to work ?
The genreated url article_path(params[:tab], @article) works perfectly fine

Answer 1

The answer I came up with was quite ugly, but works with both update and create:

<%= form_for(@article, :url => (@article.new_record? ? 
    articles_path(params[:tab]) : article_path(params[:tab], @article) do |f| %>

Update:
A better solution would be to override the default_url_options-method to something like this:

def default_url_options(options={})
  { :tab => params[:tab] }
end

Then the <%= form_for @article do |f| %> could be used, and all urls are correctly generated
