A good practice in rails is to use named routes instead of string urls.

%a.btn-general{href: url_for(controller: :controller2, action: :new, id: parameteroffirst.id, controller1_id: @controller1.id), role: "button"} Add the first

It will generate an url like /controller2/new/#{parameteroffirst.id}?controller1_id=#{@controller1.id}. but you can change the route tomorrow without the need to go all over your code changing the hardcoded links.

If you really want to write it out like this, try changing:

:href => "/controller2/new/#{parameteroffirst.id}", :controller1_id @controller1.id

To:

:href => "/controller2/new?controller1_id=#{parameteroffirst.id}"

But it's really worth your reading up on how links are supposed to work in ruby / rails:
