I forgot one other possible location. The data/attribute could be part
of the URL itself, as is often the case with Rails routes (i.e.
http://localhost:3000/pgms/cpn_activate/1 #where 1 is the id).

P.S. That's a pretty ugly URL for a Rails app by the way. Maybe you
should consider cleaning that up. Start with not abbreviating so much.
If "pgms" means "programs" then have a Program model and
"/programs/:action/:id" for the route. Search engines will also
appreciate having actual words in the URL. The more clear the intent the
better. We're not in danger of running out of letters on the web.
