If this is your route, as long as you don't have other routes that begin
with "/types/..." then you could update it with a constraint that allows
forward slashes:
> match "/types/:types" => "browse#list", :types => /.*/, :as => :types
This should both make the routes match correctly on incoming URLs _and_
allow you to call: types_path("text/with/slashes") without any errors being
raised.
Of course, you should adjust the constraints regexp as is appropriate (I
find it ugly/hackish to have it wide open like that except where it would
truly make sense). Also, if you had other routes like:
> match "/types/sub/directory/:id" => "browse#yourmom", :as => :your_mom
Then it'd conflict using the wide-open constraint technique.
Anyhow, if you absolutely insist on simply escaping slashes instead of
adding a constraint to your route, what was wrong with your first, original
example:
> <%= link_to type.name, types_path(CGI::escape(type.name)) %>
You mentioned the second one gave a "no route" error, but did this one? (I
just did a quick test and this actually worked for me). Just curious.
