basically you got two possibilities: 1. write the value into a session-variable session[:object] = "some string or value"
2. pass your value as a parameter to some action and read params in your controller: view: <%= link_to "my_action" :controller => :bla, :action => :my_action, :object => "some string or value" %> controller: def my_action puts params[:wtf] end On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 9:46 AM, Paul Roche <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > Sure.
