In Rails Can we pass a parameters to a new Action

Question

i would like to write a message using an instince variable in the new invition action like this. redirect_to new_invitation_path("invite your friend")

Controller invitations:

def new(message)
 @message = message
 @from_user_id = facebook_session.user.to_s
end

Apparently it is not possible how can i find a way around this?

Answer 1

You might want to clarify your question, but wouldn't a flash message solve your problem?

Answer 2

I guess that redirect_to goes through the client, so you might need to use params[] for that
