Rails - Mar 2009 - path from db as string not evaluated

Hey,

my menu is stored in the database like that:
name       path
Home       root_path
Users      users_path

and I create the links with link_to_remote:
<%= link_to_remote navigation.name,
  :url => navigation.target,
  :update => ''contentBody'',
  :method => :get %>

The problem is when I load page it looks like:
<a onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''contentBody'',
''users_path'',
{asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, method:''get''}); return
false;"
href="#">Users</a>

Does anyone know how to evaluate that users_path so it''s /users
instead?

Hy!

I have a same problem and I think the to_sym method is the solution.
If you would insert users_path into he link_to attributes, you need 
"users".to_sym.

Examples:
   "new_user".to_sym => new_user_path
   "root".to_sym => root_path

And it''s work.

Sorry for my bad english.
