I have a RESTful implementation. The index view shows a table with two columns: 1) Site\_id and 2) URL to create a New Review for the corresponding site\_id. Each row of the table is rendered using a partial. If the URL is clicked, a form is presented by the “new” method to create a new review for a site. Right now I only know to generate each URL with new\_review\_path, which creates the same URL for all rows, leading to a black form to create a new review. I want this form to be prefilled with the value of the corresponding site\_id in the site\_id column. That means somehow each URL to create a new review has to be different from one another. How can I do this? Thanks Vincent – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.

sorry, I meant right now I only know to generate each URL with new\_review\_path, which creates the same URL for all rows, leading to a blank form to create a new review. I would like each form to be prefilled with the corresponding site\_id. thanks.

That’s how I would most likely implement something like what you describe. > **[Rails Routing from the Outside In — Ruby on Rails Guides](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#nested-routes)** > > Rails Routing from the Outside InThis guide covers the user-facing features of Rails routing.After reading this guide, you will know: How to interpret the code in config/routes.rb.

Thanks Robert. Unfortunately, I already implemented the site model not using REST and the review model as REST but standing alone not belonging to another REST model. Is there any other way around this? Thanks. ---

I finally figured out that I need to pass these things through params. Thanks.
