People,

I have tables “tickets” and “notes” - tickets has\_many notes.

I have added:

 \<%= link\_to 'Add note', new\_note\_path %\>

to:

app/views/tickets/index.html.erb

which works OK but I need to be able to pass the value of ticket.id to  
note.ticket\_id - how do I do that?

Thanks,

## Phil.

Try with,

\<%= link\_to 'Add note', new\_note\_path(:ticket\_id =\> ticket.id) %\>

or

\<%= link\_to 'Add note', new\_note\_path+"?ticket\_id=#{ticket.id}" %\>
