I am working on a simple program where a customer can place many orders(i.e 'customer' has_many :orders & 'order' belongs_to :customer)
I have a form where it accepts customer name and order date:
new.html.erb
<h1>New order</h1>
<%= form_tag orders_path, method: 'post' do %>
<div class="field">
<%= label_tag 'customer_name' %><br />
<%= text_field_tag :customer_name,params[:customer_name] %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= label_tag 'order_date' %><br />
<%= datetime_select :order_date, params[:order_date] %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= submit_tag "create" %>
</div>
<% end %>
The corresponding method in the controller looks like this:
def create
#customer= Customer.find_by_name(params[:customer_name])
#order = #customer.orders.new(:order_date => params[:order_date])
respond_to do |format|
if #order.save
format.html { redirect_to #order, notice: 'Order was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #order, status: :created, location: #order }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #order.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
My question is, the params[:order_date] is a hash, I want to send it to the database as a 'datetime' value. I tried some combinations by declaring another variable of type "DateTime" and then passing it to the database but it simply wont work.What is the solution?
Thanks in advance:)
try this.
date = DateTime.strptime("#{params['order_date']['(1i)']}-#{params['order_date']['(2i)']}-#{params['order_date']['(3i)']}T#{params['order_date']['(4i)']}:#{params['order_date']['(5i)']}", '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M')

I am new to Rails and was creating a demo web shop app for study.
I could create the products smoothly, both via rails console and by the url localhost:300/products/new.
My problem is when I want to update them.
I have _form.html.erb partial getting rendered both in new.html.erb and edit.html.erb
In /products/id/edit though the button "Update Product" is actually destroying the product instead of updating it
This is the _form.htlm.erb:
<%= form_for(#product) do |f| %>
<% if #product.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#product.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this product from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #product.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12">
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name, :class => "input-group input-group-sm" %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br>
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :image_url %><br>
<%= f.text_field :image_url %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :color %><br>
<%= f.text_field :color %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Please tell me if you need more data
Thanks,
Anna
Updat: here below my routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :products
get 'news/index' => 'news#index', as: :news
get 'store' => 'store#index', as: :store
get 'contact' => 'contact#index', as: :contact

get 'home/index'
root 'static_pages#landing_page'
resources :orders, only: [:index, :show, :create, :destroy]
I have pryed in the products_controller and found this:
# GET /products/1
# GET /products/1.json
def show
end
# GET /products/new
def new
#product = Product.new
end
# GET /products/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /products
# POST /products.json
def create
#product = Product.new(product_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #product.save
format.html { redirect_to #product, notice: 'Product was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #product }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #product.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PATCH/PUT /products/1
# PATCH/PUT /products/1.json
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #product.update(product_params)
format.html { redirect_to #product, notice: 'Product was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #product }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #product.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /products/1
# DELETE /products/1.json
def destroy
#product.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to products_url, notice: 'Product was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
The Edit.html.erb had also three options for: Show|Delete|Back The Delete option was coded with : <%= link_to 'Delete', #product.destroy %> I deleted this line and the product got edited instead of being cancelled.
I am trying to set up in rails 3.2.0 with ruby 1.9.3 a
has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between two tables I have the proper join table migration set up with both foreign keys and my models are as such
student.rb
class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :birthday, :id, :name, :year, :course_ids
has_and_belongs_to_many :courses
accepts_nested_attributes_for :courses
end
course.rb
class Course < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :id, :coursePrefix, :roomNumber, :name, :student_ids
has_and_belongs_to_many :students
end
_form.html.erb
<%= form_for(#student) do |f| %>
<% if #student.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#student.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this student from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #student.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :id %><br />
<%= f.text_field :id %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :birthday %><br />
<%= f.date_select :birthday, :start_year => 1930 %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :year %><br />
<%= f.text_field :year %>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.collection_select(:courses, #courses, :id, :name)%>
</div>
<br />
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
and student_controller.rb
# GET /students/new
# GET /students/new.json
def new
#student = Student.new
#courses = Course.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #student }
end
end
# GET /students/1/edit
def edit
#student = Student.find(params[:id])
#courses = Course.all
end
# POST /students
# POST /students.json
def create
#student = Student.new(params[:student])
respond_to do |format|
if #student.save
format.html { redirect_to #student, notice: 'Student was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #student, status: :created, location: #student }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #student.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PUT /students/1
# PUT /students/1.json
def update
#student = Student.find(params[:id])
#courses = #student.courses.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
if #student.update_attributes(params[:student])
format.html { redirect_to #student, notice: 'Student was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: #student.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Again I am trying to get the form element to allow a student to select a course and be saved in that table under the JOIN method, however everytime I try to look for help I get different errors and cannot find a solution
Thank you for your help
You just have to give access to the :courses attribute of the Student model:
class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :birthday, :id, :name, :year, :course_ids, :courses
# ^ ^ ^ ^
Why? Because your controller receive params formatted like this:
params = {
student: {
id: 12,
name: "Bob the Sponge",
courses: [5, 7], # Course ids
etc: ...
}
}
And the controller is trying to create a Student object directly with the params, so when he is trying to update the courses attribute of the Student, it can't because you didn't define it as accessible.
Hi hoping to get some answers here. I have thought this over and over, it is killing me. Want to get answers now, everything i have been finding is more complex then my litle system at the moment. Question is below information.
First my routes file:
get 'admin' => 'admin#index'
namespace "admin" do
resources :products
end
My Admin Products Controller is as follows:
class Admin::ProductsController < ApplicationController
# GET /products
# GET /products.json
def index
#products = Product.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: #products }
end
end
# GET /products/1
# GET /products/1.json
def show
#product = Product.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: #product }
end
end
# GET /products/new
# GET /products/new.json
def new
#product = Product.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #product }
end
end
# GET /products/1/edit
def edit
#product = Product.find(params[:id])
end
# POST /products
# POST /products.json
def create
#product = Product.new(params[:product])
respond_to do |format|
if #product.save
format.html { redirect_to #product, notice: 'Product was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #product, status: :created, location: #product }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #product.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PUT /products/1
# PUT /products/1.json
def update
#product = Product.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if #product.update_attributes(params[:product])
format.html { redirect_to #product, notice: 'Product was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :ok }
else
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: #product.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /products/1
# DELETE /products/1.json
def destroy
#product = Product.find(params[:id])
#product.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to products_url }
format.json { head :ok }
end
end
end
My Admin Products View files are standard, here is the _form, new, index files:
New:
<%= render 'form' %>
<%= link_to 'Back', admin_products_path %>
_form:
<%= form_for [:admin, #product] do |f| %>

confirm: 'Are you sure?',
method: :delete %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<br />
<%= link_to 'New product', new_admin_product_path %>
Ok I hope that is all the information that is needed to help me.
This is the question: if i go to localhost:3000/admin/products/new
I get to the form to create a new product. However if i complete the form it takes me to the following localhost:3000/product/:id. I want it to redirect_to admin/products.
I keep telling myself that it has to be the redirect_to in the "create" procedure on the admin products controller, but tried everything and it is not working..... Please help it is kill me lol
JUst redirect to your index action instead of showing the product. This also applies to your update action if at all you also want the user to be redirected to the index page if they update a product. Just change redirect_to #product to redirect_to :action => 'index'.
That did not work, however here is a step by step guide.

I give up. I'm trying to build a simple nested form with 2 models following Railscasts #196 episode and doesn't work. Can someone send a working example please so I can test on my environment. I'm using 3.1.0
For example when I try to build 3 questions on the form only 1 question field appears, then survey_id is never passed across.
I would appreciate your help after 2 days and nights on it. I got missing something really big. Thanks
Model
class Survey < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :questions, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :questions
attr_accessible :name, :questions_attributes
end
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :survey
attr_accessible :survey_id, :name
end
Controller
def new
#survey = Survey.new
4.times { #survey.questions.build }
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #survey }
end
end
def create
#survey = Survey.new(params[:survey])
respond_to do |format|
if #survey.save
format.html { redirect_to #survey, notice: 'Survey was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #survey, status: :created, location: #survey }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #survey.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
View
<%= form_for(#survey) do |f| %>
<% if #survey.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#survey.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this survey from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #survey.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>

Sadly loses my form after unsuccessful validation the data which have the user typed in. How can I change this, so that the form doesn't losing the data?
View _form.html.erb:
<%= form_for(#user, :html => {:name => "newUser""}) do |f| %>
<div class="field_left">
<%= f.label :last_name, "Last name<span>*</span>".html_safe %><br />
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.fields_for :table1 do |ff| %>
<%= ff.text_field :name %>
<% end %>
</div>
Controller users_controller:
def new
#user = User.new
1.times {#user.table1.build}
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #user }
end
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
#table1= params[:user][:table1][:name]
respond_to do |format|
if #user.save
format.html { redirect_to(#user, :notice => 'User was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => #user, :status => :created, :location => #user }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Thanks for your help!
The solution is to set an instance variable as value like the following code.
<%= f.fields_for :table1 do |ff| %>
<%= ff.hidden_field :name, :value => #value %>
<% end %>
Use: <%= f.fields_for #table1 do |ff| %>
Make sure that #table1 is set in the controller with the data that is received from the form submission.
Is better to use
<%= f.fields_for :table1, f.object.table1 do |ff| %>
<% ff.text_field :name %>
<% end %>
You won't have to set values, i.e. <% ff.text_field :name, value: 'something' %>.
