Hello out there!
I am developing an app that includes a simple forum system, and am
using a nested resource there:

resources :forums do
resources :topics
end

So I get URLs like /forums/3/topics/2. Now I, for sure, also got a
Post model, controller, etc., and I want this controller to redirect
to the topic which was posted to, which will work fine with:

redirect_to [@topic.forum, @topic]

But I want to pass a params[:page] variable to use with the
will_paginate gem, so it redirects to the right page of the new post,
not just to the first page of the topic as of default. (I wrote a
small helper method there to find out the right page for a post)

So I tried this:

redirect_to [@topic.forum, @topic], :page => find_topic_page(@post)

And I neither get a ?page=1 GET request in the URL, nor does it show
up in my <%= debug(params) %> stuff. It seems to get lost somewhere in
between.

So my question would be: How can I redirect to a nested resource's
path and pass a page params variable?

Thanks in advance!
