Passing params to :delete

Hi,

I’m new to Rails, and I’d like to be able to redirect from methods in my
Controller, based on the page I’ve come from.

I know I can do:

<%= link_to ‘Show’, event_path(@event, :from => ‘page1’) %>

and :from will be passed to params, and I can redirect based on this on
my Controller.

I have a few quesetions. Firstly, is this a good idea? Is there a better
way of doing it?

Secondly, how can I achieve this with the :delete method? It uses
slightly different syntax, as far as I’m aware.

<%= link_to ‘Delete’, @event, :method => :delete %>

Thirdly, how can I achieve this with the edit action? My edit currently
looks like this:

def edit
@event = Event.find(params[:id])
end

And it renders a form, which I assume goes to the update action. So how
can I get the param[:form] from ‘edit’ through the form into ‘update’?

Thanks,
Fraser
