I have a desktop version and a mobile version of my website.  
They have different views, and the one to use is determined  
automatically from the user agent string.

However, I want to let the user switch from/to mobile version manually  
by providing a link to \<current\_page\>?view\_format=mobile

How can I do it? Can a link\_to helper method do it? If yes, then how?

Thanks,

Gleb

\<%= link\_to “Mobile”, :action =\> “action\_name”, :view\_format =\> “mobile”  
%\>

# if action\_name is name of your current action
