Rails - Jun 2006 - passing link text as parameter to a controller..

How do i pass the link text as a parameter to a controller i want to

You''ll need modify config/routes.rb file.

Check http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/65 &

I believe that you can simply do:

<%= link_to(''foo'', :action => ''bar'',
:url => url_for(your_url)) %>

But having never tried it, there may be times when that won''t work.   
You may have to experiment to make sure.
