link_to a controller's index regardless of the page

I'm rendering a header with links to various controllers in the application file

The path that link_to uses seems to be relative to the current page, and it just directs to the current URL minus one instance of a forward slash. This doesn't work if you're any level deeper than first one.

For instance, clicking a link to the posts controller works while you're on posts#index, but being on posts/1 directs you to posts/posts

Have routes got anything to do with this?

Solution

  • I just rectified this problem by adding a forward slash before the destination.

    link_to "posts", "/posts"
