Rails link_to function passing arguments

Rails
1

I basically want to pass my own custom variables to the link_to function
so I don’t need to set up a bunch of actions within my controller.

So here’s more of the details:

link_to example:

Code:

<% for g in @games %>
<%= link_to "game " + g.game_number.to_s, :action => “gametemplate”%>
<% end %>

controller example code:
Code:

def gametemplate
b = Batter.new()
@batter_stats = b.find_game_stats 1, 2007, “winter”
end

I can then pass the @batter_stats to my view. However, how do I get the:
Code:
1, 2007, “winter”
arguments from my link_to function???

I can’t find an answer anywhere I feel this would be something easy to
do in rails. I got around this by setting up a separate action and
resulting view rhtml file to for each game. This is obviously not a very
good solution especially if I have 50 games. I’m a newbie @ rails and
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can pass as many arguments as you want:
<%= link_to "game " + g.game_number.to_s, :action =>
“gametemplate”, :id => 1, :season => ‘winter’, :year => 2007%>
These will be accessible from the controller as params[:id], params
[:year] etc…
