Dynamic Links within a namespace

[Ja Orman]

Hello all!

I am new to all of this and I am trying to accomplish something, and I
am hoping that someone will be able to assist me…


I am trying to set up a namespace within a dynamic link. I have created
an admin namespace and I need to following link to go to
../admin/people/xxx

<div class="inner">
<p><%= link_to(person) do %>
<strong><%= person.fname %> <%= person.lname %></strong>
<% end %></p>
</div>

Am I missing something from the controller or what? How do I get this
dynamic link to go to the namespace route and not the base page? Does
something go in the <%= link_to(person) do %> and if so what? I am just
so new to all of this, I am not sure how to solve this problem.


Thanks for any help!

Jason

Why not just use named routes. if you've namespaced your admin routes, you should have various routes available to you

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#controller-namespaces-and-routing

This isn't mentioned in the `link_to` documentation, but looking at the source it appears you can pass the same sort of thing you'd give `polymorphic_path` to get namespace routes.

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Routing/PolymorphicRoutes.html

So something like `link_to([:admin, person]) do` in your example should do the trick.

you fail at
<%= link_to(person) do %>

You can follow me same as:
<div class="inner">
<p><%= link_to admin_person_path(person) do %>

<strong><%= person.fname %> <%= person.lname %></strong>
<% end %></p>
</div>
