How to pass parameters to a controller path after link_to or redirect_to?

Question

Would like to pass some parameters to the _path for link_to or redirect_to. For example, link_to 'show', customers_show_path(params[:id]) will show the customer with id=params[:id].

What do I do if I want to pass another parameter such as session[:user_id] into the show? Does link_to 'show', customers_show_path(params[:id], :user_id => session[:user_id]) work (retrieve session[:user_id] with params[:user_id] in show)?

Any suggestions?

Try this:

'customers', :action => "show", :id => 1, :user_id => 2%>

Didn't check, but should work :D
