I have the following partial. It can be called from three different times in a view as follows:

 <%= render :partial => "contact_event",
     :collection => @contacts,
        :locals => {:event => email} %>

Second time:

 <%= render :partial => "contact_event",
     :collection => @contacts,
        :locals => {:event => call} %>

Third time:

 <%= render :partial => "contact_event",
     :collection => @contacts,
        :locals => {:event => letter} %>

In each instance, call, email, letter refer to a specific instance of a Model Call, Email, or Letter.

Here is what I tried to do and conceptually what I'd like to do: assign the route based on the class name that has been passed to the :event from the :partial.

What I did was create what the actual url should be. The 'text' of it is correct, but doesn't seem to recognize it as a named route.

<% url = "skip_contact_#{event.class.name.tableize.singularize}_url" %> <%= link_to_remote "Skip #{url} Remote", :url => skip_contact_email_url(contact_event, event), :update => "update-area-#{contact_event.id}-#{event.id}" %> '>

My challenge: skip_contact_email_url only works when the event refers to an email.

1. How can I dynamically define skip_contact_email_url to be skip_contact_letter_url if the local variable is letter?

2. Even better, how can I have a single named route that would do the appropriate action?
