link_to Helper Modifications

Inside of a rails app that I am working, I modified the link_to helper slightly:

  def link_to(*args, &block)
    args[1] = params[:client_id].present? ? "#{args[1]}?client_id=#{params[:client_id]}" : args[1]
    super
  end

I did this so I wouldn't have to add the :client_id => params[:client_id] every time I wrote a link_to inside of the app. Well, I have kind of pigeon holed myself with the following problem...

If I have this link_to:

<%= link_to "Continue to billing info", add_product_path(:product_id => @product.id), :class => 'btn' %>

Using my link_to helper creates a link, like so:

http://localhost:3001/orders/add_product?product_id=35?client_id=HT274848772

I am at a slight loss on how to modify my helper so that the link will work as normal while including the :client_id param...

You want to add your parameter to the link url, not to the link itself. Maybe you should rewrite the url_for helper, which is the helper used by all of the url helpers ( http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper/url_for )
