Question

I have the following relation in my model:

A user can have several consumers

According to that, I call several actions from different controllers that depend on that consumer_id in the URL. So, I do stuff like:

/:consumer_id/products/all
/:consumer_id/locals/all?params...

I want to be able to given that I am in a particular view, let’s say /3/products/all, be able to refresh, redirect or whatever is the best to /4/products/all, with a form that shows the different consumers attached to that user.

I know how to display the form, but I fail to see which action should I put given that I want to load the current controller, current action and the current params, except that I want to change the params[:consumer_id] and the session[:consumer_id] to the one chosen by the user in the form of the view.

What’s the best or appropriate way of doing so?

Answer 1

Inside the view you can access both the current controller using controller_name and the current action using action_name
