I have searched this list for an answer, can''t find one.
Does anybody know a way to use named routes (or url_for, if need be) to
generate a url that i can use for a Model? The generated convenience
methods, even url_for itself, seem to only be available in ActionController
and ActionView.
Thanks,
Lee

Models encapsulate business rules, URLs are controller/view elements. What you probably want is a helper. -- Phillip Hutchings phillip.hutchings-QrR4M9swfipWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org
