    copied!<p>I currently have three methods which I want to collapse into one:</p> <pre><code> def send_email(contact,email) end def make_call(contact, call) return link_to "Call", new_contact_call_path(:contact =&gt; contact, :call =&gt; call, :status =&gt; 'called') end def make_letter(contact, letter) return link_to "Letter", new_contact_letter_path(:contact =&gt; contact, :letter =&gt; letter, :status =&gt; 'mailed') end </code></pre> <p>I want to collapse the three into one so that I can just pass the Model as one of the parameters and it will still correctly create the path_to. I am trying to do this with the following, but stuck:</p> <pre><code> def do_event(contact, call_or_email_or_letter) model_name = call_or_email_or_letter.class.name.tableize.singularize link_to "#{model_name.camelize}", new_contact_#{model_name}_path(contact, call_or_email_or_letter)" end </code></pre> <p>Thanks to the answers here, I have tried the following, which gets me closer:</p> <pre><code>link_to( "#{model_name.camelize}", send("new_contact_#{model_name}_path", :contact =&gt; contact, :status =&gt; "done", :model_name =&gt; model_name) ) </code></pre> <p>But I can't seem to figure out how to past the #{model_name} when it is an :attribute and then send the value of model_name, not as a string, but referring the object.</p> <p><strong>I got this to work:</strong> -- giving points to Kadada because he got me in the right direction :)</p> <pre><code> def do_event(contact, call_or_email_or_letter) model_name = call_or_email_or_letter.class.name.tableize.singularize link_to( "#{model_name.camelize}", send("new_contact_#{model_name}_path", :contact =&gt; contact, :status =&gt; 'done', :"#{model_name}" =&gt; call_or_email_or_letter ) ) end </code></pre>
