Hi,  
I have implemented the scaffold crud for users table.  
My page is having show, edit, delete link and date-wise search option.  
I have to pass the date in links as a paramater when i clicked the  
search button.  
So i added the date as parameter in all available links such as show,  
edit, delete, back and redirect\_to as like  
\<%= link\_to ‘Show’, user\_path(user, :date=\>params[:date] %\>

My questions are,

1. Any other common method to pass the parameter to links or redirect\_to  
?

2. How to pass the parameter(eg :date=\>params[:date] in following  
form\_for tag and redirect\_to tag  
a) \<% form\_for([:user,@log]) do |f| %\>  
b) redirect\_to(user\_logs\_url)
