Rails - Passing Parameters through link_to

Question

I want to create an Add to Watchlist column + link after the description field ,so the selected movie to be stored on another rb. page from the admin section called "Watchlist".

The concept is similar to a Shopping Cart,passing the data from one page to another.

How's that possible in ActiveAdmin?

I would appreciate your hints and advices.

I'm not familiar with ActiveAdmin, but if your question is how to pass parameters through link_to, try this:

link_to 'Somewhere', some_path(param_1: 'foo', param_2: 'bar')

When you click through, the params should be present in the query string and in the params hash that Rails provides. You can pull out the values with:

params[:param_1]
params[:param_2]
