Thanks, works great. Out of interest, what is the receiver of the send message at this point?

To answer my own question - when no receiver is specified then it's self, which in this case is ActionView::Base because it's in a helper method.

A:
def get_link(resource)
link_to(resource.to_s.titleize, send("#{resource}_path"))
end
The to_s call on resource is to support passing symbols as resource. So
get_link("foos")
will work and also
get_link(:foos)

If you want to construct a RESTful route with a member:
send("edit_#{resource}_path".to_sym, @resource)
