Perhaps I need a break, but I can''t find the answer for this simple question. I have a database which also contains an internet address. I want to show this address with a link (wich is named link). When I do; <%= link_to ''link'', camping.website %> I get a clickable link. But the destination is http://www.my_own_homepage/www.homepage.nl (what I want is of course http://www.homepage.nl) I have tried a lot of options, and I am already googling for hours, but I can''t get this simple task done :( -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

what you''re doing should be correct. Have you tried printing the value of camping.website? Is it a string?

camping.website is indeed a string. When I do: <%= link_to camping.website %> It shows the right website, but it links to my own. When I do: <%= auto_link camping.website %> It shows the right website, and it links to the right website. I only don''t have a link with the name link. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

no point in adding a gsub on the string would have worked to
yourstr.gsub(''http://http://'', ''http://'')
...or place http://www twice
etc
...either way''s gooood.
cheers too.
