Add bootstrap glyph icon to link_to with multiple arguments

Question

I've been using glyphicons with Bootstrap for a few weeks with no problems. However now I'm using link_to with more arguments and I can't put the "do" in the proper place to get things working error free.

I have implemented my basic link_to's like the following example with no problem: How to add glyphicons to rails link_to helper - Bootstrap 3

Here's my code:

<%= link_to("Start Task", task_path(task, "task[started_at]" => DateTime.now), :method => :put, :confirm => "Sure?", class: "btn btn-default btn-sm") %>

I sincerely appreciate any help!

You can use link_to with a block as stated in the link_to documentation

You can use a block as well if your link target is hard to fit into the name parameter.

<%= link_to(task_path(task, "task[started_at]" => DateTime.now), :method => :put, :confirm => "Sure?", class: "btn btn-default btn-sm") do |link| %>
  <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-play"></i> Start Task
<% end %>

You should elaborate on your answer and explain your code. – Sebastian Zartner May 29 '14 at 20:39
Readers should understand *why* they should use your code. So a small sentence to it, maybe with a link to the documentation, will help them. – Sebastian Zartner May 30 '14 at 05:31
@SebastianZartner You're right, have added a link to the docs and a small explanation. – Eyeslandic May 30 '14 at 10:10

I found an answer at about the same time but your solution is much cleaner. Thanks! – orky May 30 '14 at 17:47

Found the following link and made the necessary adjustments: Adding a Twitter Bootstrap button icon to button_to in Rails

<%= link_to raw("<i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-play\"></i> Start"), task_path(task, "task[started_at]" => DateTime.now), :method => :put, :confirm => "Sure?", class: "btn btn-default btn-sm" %>
