How to set defaults for parameters of url helper methods?

Question

I use language code as a prefix, e.g. www.mydomain.com/en/posts/1. This is what I did in routes.rb:

scope \":lang\" do
  resources :posts
end
         


        

Answer 1

doesterr above has almost got it. That version of default_url_options won't play nice with others. You want to augment instead of clobber options passed in:

def locale_from_cookie
  # retrieve the locale
end

def default_url_options(options = {})
  options.merge(:lang => locale_from_cookie)
end
