Make any kind of params to a path
# :controller=>'xxx' --> /xxx
# /xxx -> /xxx
# http://adasd.com/xxx -> /xxx
def path_for(path)
if path.is_a? Hash
url_for(path.merge(:only_path=>true))
else
URI.parse(path).path
end
end

Shouldn’t the merge be the other way?
url_for {:only_path=>true}.merge(path || {})
(and don’t forget to check for nil)
oh, wait, no you’re right the first time
