Hi there, With *_url you'll get the full path with protocol and domain name. Use it for redirect method for example, or when you redirecting for total different domain.
With *_path you will get the part from your path which is after '/' without domain and stuff. Use it every other situation I think. With redirecting _path will also work fine, just later it can cause problems when you need to refactor your code. And an easy link_to can be used with _url, but it fills your HTML unnecessary characters, which also not a good idea. Check both, see the source of your HTML and you will see easily the diff. good luck, gezope On febr. 15, 22:05, Rodrigo Alves Vieira <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, what's the real difference between root_url and root_path in > Rails, for example.
