Put a link in a flash[:notice]

Question

I am learning Ruby and Rails.

I have a Ruby on Rails project that tracks jobs a server is running. Right now, when I manually create a new job, it announces:

<

Answer 1

I may be missing something obvious, but you should just be able to do

flash[:notice] = %Q[Created job number <a href="/jobs/list?job=#{update.id}">#{update.id}</a>]

and then just make sure you're not escaping the content of the flash when you display it in your view.

Answer 2

The @template instance variable is no longer available in Rails 3.

Instead you can use this in your controller:

flash[:notice] = "Successfully created #{view_context.link_to('product', @product)}.".html_safe

Hope this helps :)
