Newbie question.  
How do I link from a view in one controller to a view in another  
controller?

Cheers

</div>

link\_to “some good link”, :controller =\> ‘other\_controller’, :action  
=\> ‘some\_action’

If you have your routes setup w/ map.resources, you’ll have a number  
of helpers for that as well:

link\_to “some good link”, other\_models\_path  
link\_to “some good link”, new\_other\_model\_path  
etc.

Good luck
