I’m trying to run some code that uses a link\_to and home\_path as the  
location. It returns a undeclared local variable. Is home\_path only  
available in edge rails or what is this?

FYI, I figured this out and if you are interested home\_path (or  
anything\_path) is defined in routes.rb by defining it like so:  
map.home ‘’, :controller =\> ‘controller’, :action =\> ‘action’  
then you can us home\_path as a local variable.
