I believe you are looking for the "url_for" helper. Probably a number
of ways you can use it.

This one works, and uses the named "new_asset" route. Just make sure
resource_name is singular.

url_for(("new_"+resource_name).to_sym)

Or if the controllers have the standard REST naming, this should also
work:

url_for(:controller=>resource_name, :action=>:new)
