Dynamic Paths in Helper

Question

I\'m trying to create a helper method for my admin links. In quite a few views I have the code

<% if current_user %>
<%= link_to \"Edit\", edit_model_pa

I would use a partial for this - instead of a helper. Wherever you want to display these links in your views, simply render the partial:

<%= render :partial => "admin_links", :locals => { :model => model } %>

In _admin_links.html.erb just paste the original code:

<% if current_user %>
  <%= link_to "Edit", edit_model_path(model) %>
  <%= link_to "New", new_model_path %>
  <%= link_to "Delete", model, :confirm => "Your a Noob", :method => :delete %>
<% end %>
