I''m trying to reduce the size of urls in my app and i was wondering how i can get all links to an index action to leave out the ''index''. In my routes.rb, i have it setup to recognize the controller and default to the index action. But is there a way to make it so that the ''index'' portion in the url is not shown to the user? This is mostly a concern

The controller might look like def new @user = User.new end def create @user = User.new(params[:entry]) if @user.save

Hi all: I can''t make redirect_to to unlock the current iframe using {:TARGET => "_top"}. It always stays in the current frame.

We have a Centos server with a number of virtual hosts, and my rails app runs under one of those virtual hosts using mongrel_rails. The app lives in /home/mydomain/railsapp where /home/mydomain/railsapp/public is the rails root.

Hi, I have a situation where I could link_to a shared action in my controller through 2 separate use cases. In both cases, I''d like the action to execute and then render the same exact page from where it was called.

Hi, When I use redirect_to with a string (eg. redirect_to "http://www.yahoo.com"), the browser is sent a response with a header containing status 302. This is good for what I am doing. If I use redirect_to with a hash (eg. redirect_to :action=>''list''), the browser is sent a response with status 200 and the body contains the destination of the redirection. This

Is there a good reason why redirect_to doesn''t check responds_to, so it can handle redirects in rjs calls? I''ve done something like this in my app controller, seems to work ok... alias_method :redirect_to_orig, :redirect_to; def redirect_to(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference) respond_to do |accepts| accepts.html do redirect_to_orig

What options do I need to provide to link_to so that it generates truly absolute URLs (i.e. including protocol://host:port/path)? It seems that even when I provide :host and :protocol arguments to url_for that it suppresses these when they match the current request.
