In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

When using subdomains as account keys (as per this HowTo: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToUseSubdomainsAsAccountKeys), how can you get link_to to spit out the correct URL (i.e. account123.domain.com)? <%= link_to "My Account", { :action => "show", :id => "account123" } %> would generate "http://www.domain.com/show/account123" I

I generate a lot of URL''s in my Facebook related code that point to our main site, not our FB app. My understanding was that the way to do this was to use ":canvas => false" as a parameter to url_for and link_to and so on. However, that doesn''t seem to generate the proper URL''s. The URL''s still point to apps.facebook.com (because they

Hello, I am trying to set the protocol and host in link_to based on the documentation. I have the following: <%= link_to "View Cart", {:controller => ''store'', :action => ''view_cart'', :protocol => ''https://'', :host => ''secure.host.com''} %> I would expect this to generate a https link to another

So I have an existing app & facebook app in same rails application, for now I have decided to go the route of creating a controller for facebook stuff (called FaceController). (setup is canvas, fbml) So I have: facebook config http://myurl:myport/face/ My controllers name is face, so I dont even need a manual route, for the landing page it works like a charm. but, when I try to make

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.

I have an odd error. I have the following module: module ActionController module SslSupport def self.included(base) raise "#{base} does not define url_for" unless base.method_defined?(:url_for) unless base.respond_to?(:url_for_without_ssl_supprt) base.send :include, InstanceMethods base.send :alias_method_chain, :url_for, :ssl_support end

Hi, I am trying to generate a link to external site with GET parameters ( in new window). I tried following code, but it does not produce any parameters. <%=link_to "Open New Page", "https://www.foo.com/page/", {:popup => true}, {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}%> and <%=link_to "Open New Page",

Is there any way to use a link_to method within a controller through a :flash notice? If a user enters an incorrect username/password, I want to have a link to a forgotten password form readily available. My newbie attempt at doing this resulted in the following error: undefined method `link_to'' for #<UserController:0x386aef8> I suppose I could easily have a normal link, was

I think the link_to helper method is quite confusing with its arguments order: link_to body, url link_to "Click me", @person Why is it thay way round? I want to make a "link to [the] person", so I would expect the order to be: link_to @person, "Click me" It reads much more natural. You don''t "link to [the] body", you "link to

This error seems pretty bizarre. I''m using ActionMailer and am using a template in app/views/welcome_mailer/join.rhtml which has this line: <%= link_to :controller => ''group'', :action => ''join'', :group => @group.id, :ic => @code.code %> The error is: undefined method `url_for'' for #<WelcomeMailer: 0x2aaaad4fb470>

Simple question. Is it possible to generate a link like <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" >google</a> with the link_to function ? Thanks

In one of my pages I want to create some URLs that go to the same page, but tack on an extra parameter (column sorting stuff). How do I do that? I''ve tried link_to "Title", :sort => "title" and that''s pretty close...it keeps the controller name, but it doesn''t include one of the parameters. I''m using nested routes, so the URL should

I have a link-to that I wish to look somewhat like this: link_to "link here", new_object_path, :method => :post, :confirm => ''Press OK'', #url options :class => "css_class", :id => "css_id" #html options In any case I can either get the url_for options to work or the html options to work, but

I am new to ActionMailer and having a problem. I want to be able to send a notification e-mail when a new item is added to a list. Sending an e-mail to the right people on creation is working fine. However, I want to include in the e-mail a link to the application so that users can click on the link in the e-mail and immediately be taken to the show view for the new item. When I add a link_to

I wonder - do we have some helper/processor/gem to automatically convert all URLs in a passed string to their canonical equivalent - i.e. with the protocol, host and such prepended based on the Rails environment. Super-duper infty for RSS feeds (I hate their requirement for canonical URLs everywhere). -- Julian ''Julik'' Tarkhanov please send all personal mail to me at

After successfully getting my "productized" sites into production, I decided it was time to get the development environment working (i.e. through "script/server --site=foo"). However, when I go to run a site under Webrick, I get two major errors: (0) Routes don''t seem to work properly, specifically the root-level route gets ignored. Instead,

Hi! Very silly question, but how do you use link_to with an anchor, for example: www.website.com/articles/123#comments ? Just can''t figure out!

Hi, I was wondering how to get url_for to work inside ActionMailer. I did research on the web but I can''t seem to find something that fits what I need. In my application, each user can specify their custom domain to access their. I have an ActionMailer that sends them notifications of changes that occur. In there, I have a breadcrumbs helper method, which generages something like:

I''m looking for best practice for creating a hyperlink which has both an icon and text. I am currently using this in my view: <%= link_to image_tag(''icons/add.png'', { :align => ''absmiddle'', :border => 0, :size => ''16x16'', :alt => ''New education record'', :title => ''New education
