Rails - Sep 2006 - restful urls and additional parameters

I''m doing a restful refactoring of my site. Let''s say I have a
link_to
an index action. My url would something like: orders_url. What if I
wanted to filter that index to show only open orders (or any other
parameter). Can I pass an additional parameter with these new restful
urls? If so, I can''t figure out how to construct my link_to. Do I need
to specify something in my route?

by the way, loving the restful approach.

# gives <a href="/orders?status=open">open orders</a>
link_to ''open orders'', orders_path(:status =>
''open'')

Thanks Jeremy. That answered my question. Unfortunately in trying to
make it simple and in doing some many iterations I got away from my
real question.

My problem is I''m actually using a link_to_remote and I''m
trying to
pass two parameters. the problem is that rails is inserting an amp;amp;
in the paramaters.

So something like:
><%= link_to_remote("hardware orders,
			         :url => orders_url( :status=>"open",
:store=>"hardware"),
			         :method => ''get'') %>

It renders in the view like:
<a href="#" onclick="new
Ajax.Request(''http://localhost:3000/my/quiz/questions?status=open&amp;amp;store=hardware''

In the controller I can access the store param, but there is some extra
junk params in there.

Thanks,

Steve

Yup - we''ve got a known double-escaping issue. Pass hash_for_orders_url
instead and you''ll be fine. I''m not sure how to resolve this.
