Rails Auto_Link

by Tom

Here is a good little Ruby on Rails tip from Satya over at thesatya.com. If you are using the auto_link helper and you have a URL that ends in a query string, with a slash in the string, like this:
…/end?tag=/mom
auto_link will not recognize the slash as part of the link and will end the link at the “tag=” part. What to do? Pay him a visit for the tip, then give serious consideration to putting his website in your feed reader.
By the way, I did a little digging on my own and found a couple of other issues with auto_link here and here.

If you found this helpful or interesting, please share it!
