Rails - Sep 2005 - URL Question

I''m trying to link from an action in one controller to an action in  
another, like this:

- A user logs in and gets the ''index'' action for
rider_controller.rb,
which displays index.rhtml
- The index.rhtml page has a series of links, one of which should  
take the rider the ''new'' action of log_controller.rb, where
they can
input new information

But I am terribly confused on how to set up the URL reference.  
Currently I have this:
<%= link_to ''Enter a new record in the log'', :action=>
''/log/new'' %>

This creates the url: localhost:3000/rider/log/new
What I want the url to be is: localhost:3000/log/new

Any help is incredibly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Nathan,

What you want is this:

<%= link_to ''Enter a new record in the log'', :controller
=> ''log'',
:action=> ''new'' %>

If you don''t specify the controller, it defaults to the current
controller.
