Question

I need create a link to users/id/microposts where id is the user id. I was wondering how I could do that with link_to?

The HTML code is I am using for the moment is :

<strong><a href="/users/<%= @user.id %>/microposts">Microposts</a></strong> <%= user.microposts.count %>

Which renders the following :

<a href="/users/1/microposts">Microposts</a>

In routes.rb, you should have something like this:

match '/users/:id/microposts' => 'microposts#index_by_user', :as => :microposts_by_user

and in view, you can do like this:

<%= link_to "Microposts", microposts_by_user_path( @user) %>
