Translation within controller

[viniciusnz]

Hi guys!

First thanks for the awesome gem!

Translation within the controller is failing for me:

file routes.rb

resources :rec_products do
  get 'add', :on => :member
end

on view this works fine:

add_rec_product_url(rec_product)

where rec_product is an instance variable

On the controller, when calling

Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.add_rec_product_url(rec_product)

I get

"NoMethodError: undefined method `add_rec_product_pt_url' for #<ActionView::Base:0xcbd039c>" 

Sorry, I know this is no support group, but is there any way to get the translated url_helpers to work on controllers.

Note I tried these:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/341143/can-rails-routing-helpers-i-e-mymodel-pathmodel-be-used-in-models.
• http://railscasts.com/episodes/132-helpers-outside-views

Thanks, best,

Did you try:

Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.add_rec_product_pt_url(rec_product)

As the gem only aliases regular routes without locale to current locale on the views helper, it's not a real route app (unless you pass it as an option to have all of them).

Hi Francesc, you're the best!

It does really work. I actually implemented:

Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.send("add_rec_product_#{I18n.locale}_path",rec_product)

and it works! Sorry, I didn't know I had to pass any options so that the gem creates aliases for non regular routes, just for the record, what would that option be?

Thanks! Best,
