Hi all, I''m developing some custom routes for an application and am creating the aliased url_for commands that I like so much. However, one of the things I''d like to do is read a string from the session (or possibly even pull out an object to get to the string) and use that in the URL generating by the route -- without having to pass the string into the url_for alias every time. After attempting to access the session method and session class variable in routes.rb to ill effect (you just can''t) and also trying to run a breakpoint in routes.rb (which also doesn''t seem to work quite right) -- I can''t quite figure out what information is available to the app at that stage. Looking through the API docs and Routing how-tos, I''ve found nothing that sheds any light at this aspect of routes.rb. So, has anyone had any success with this? Is it possible to override your aliased url_for method to automatically grab the "label" from the session and put into the default arguments for the url_for alias? If so, where would I put that-- in the application helper? (doesn''t quite seem right).. Did this make sense or do I need to restate my problem? :) I want a route -- :label/:controller/:action/:id -- where :label comes automatically from the session. Thank you for any help in this direction. D. Taylor Singletary, Reality Technician -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
