Rails - Apr 2005 - url_for and sub-directories

I want to generate a url for the current action based on the current
url but with one of the parameters changed, so i do this :

@params[''show_all''] = 1
url = url_for @params

this works fine when the controller sits at the site root, but if it''s
in a sub directory, the directory name gets appended twice.

for example:

dashboard/user/update?show_all=0

after running my code, it should give me :
dashboard/user/update?show_all=1 

but it  actually produces:
ashboard/dashboard/user/update?show_all=1

i tried using the :only_path = true option with url_for but I get the
same problem
any ideas?

thanks

This is due to the controller being given as ''dashboard/user''.
This is
interpreted as a path relative to ''/dashboard'', and that is
where the problem
occurs.

You might try using :overwrite_params. url_for :overwrite_params => {:id
=> 4}

If you run into the same problem, please let me know and I will ticket and 
patch it.
