Custom Action causes "No route matches" Routing Error - ruby-on-rails-3

I'm am trying to have a form submit to a custom action. The form won't even render, it just displays a error: 'No route matches'".
routes.rb
resources :users do
member do
post :add_foo
end
end
users_controller.rb
def add_foo
puts "!!! in add_new_foo .. params = " + params + " !!!"
end
users/new.html.erb
<%= simple_form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<%= button_to 'download', add_foo_user_path(#user) %>
<% end %>
I have also tried
<%= simple_form_for #user, :url => add_foo_user_path(#user), :method => :post do |f| %>
<%= f.submit "Add" %>
<% end %>
Any help would be appreciated!

Everything is defined correctly. The error is most likely raised because the #user instance is not present.

<% end %>
The ERROR is:
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `my_leaders_path' for #<#<Class:0x007fadc5f8cdf0>:0x007fadc3d929e8>):
Why this happened: undefined method `my_leaders_path'?
should that be fieldwork_my_leaders_path?
Seems like your form cost you an issue.
Here is example from documentation.
Partials
If you want to split a custom form into a separate partial use:
ActiveAdmin.register Post do
form partial: 'form'
end
Which looks for something like this:
app/views/admin/posts/_form.html.arb
active_admin_form_for resource do |f|
inputs :title, :body
actions
end
This is a regular Rails partial so any template engine may be used.
Make sure that you put _content.html.erb in right folder.

How to update an attribute ':what_cause' of model user using group of radio button in rails3

I want to update an attribute ':what_cause' of model user on a page which is in a session. User clicks on one of the 3 radio buttons and corresponding value should be transferred to a method which updates it.
I wrote following code-
<%= form_for :user do |f| %>
<label>Pratham</label>
<%= f.radio_button :what_cause, "pratham" %>
<label>Kali</label>
<%= f.radio_button :what_cause, "kali" %>
<label>Akshaya</label>
<%= f.radio_button :what_cause, "akshaya" %>
<%= f.submit "Save", :controller => "users_controller", :action => "change_cause", :method => "put" %>
<% end %>
And here is the code for updation in change_cause method of users_controller.rb-
def change_cause
if params[:radio_button] == "pratham"
#user.update_attribute(:what_cause, "pratham")
end
if params[:radio_button] == "kali"
#user.update_attribute(:what_cause, "kali")
end
if params[:radio_button] == "akshaya"
#user.update_attribute(:what_cause, "akshaya")
end
end
But it is not working. Please enlighten me. I am a newbie in RAILS!!!
def change_cause
#user.update_attribute(:what_cause, params[:user][:what_cause])
end

Rails Undefined Method 'model_name'

I have the following model:
class Contact
attr_accessor :name, :emails, :message
def initialize(attrs = {})
attrs.each do |k, v|
self.send "#{k}=", v
end
end
def persisted?
false
end
end
I am calling to a contact form in my view like so:
<div class="email_form">
<%= render 'form' %>
</div>
Here is the controller:
class ShareController < ApplicationController
layout "marketing_2013"
respond_to :html, :js
def index
#contact = Contact.new
end
end
Here is the Form:
<%= form_for(#contact) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name, "Your Name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :text, "Send to (separate emails with a comma)" %>
<%= f.text_field :emails %>
<%= f.label :message, "Email Text" %>
<%= f.text_area :message %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
For some reason I keep getting this error:
undefined method model_name for Contact:Class
Any reason why what I have currently wouldn't work?
Besides the correct route in your config/routes.rb, you will also need these two instructions on your model:
include ActiveModel::Conversion
extend ActiveModel::Naming
Take a look at this question: form_for without ActiveRecord, form action not updating.
For the route part of these answer, you could add this to your config/routes.rb:
resources :contacts, only: 'create'
This will generate de following route:
contacts POST /contacts(.:format) contacts#create
Then you can use this action (contacts#create) to handle the form submission.
add include ActiveModel::Model to your Contact file
your route probably doesn't go where you think it's going and therefore #contact is probably nill
run "rake routes" and check the new path.. if you are using defaults, the route is
new_contact_path.. and the erb should be in file: app/views/contacts/new.html.erb
def new
#contact = Contact.new
end

2 render templates (from devise) on one page (rails 3)

I've installed devise for my rails app, i can go to the sign in page or the sign up page. But I want them both on a welcome page...
So I've made a welcome_page_controller.rb with the following function:
class WelcomePageController < ApplicationController
def index
render :template => '/devise/sessions/new'
render :template => '/devise/registration/new'
end
end
But when i go to the welcome page i get this error:
NameError in Welcome_page#index
Showing /Users/tboeree/Dropbox/rails_projects/rebasev4/app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb where line #5 raised:
undefined local variable or method `resource' for #<#<Class:0x104931c>:0x102749c>
Extracted source (around line #5):
2: <% #header_title = "Login" %>
3:
4:
5: <%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => session_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
6: <p><%= f.label :email %><br />
7: <%= f.email_field :email %></p>
8:
Does anybody knows a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!
Does it have to do with the fact that it is missing the resource function? in the welcome_page controller? It's probably somewhere in the devise controller...?

Here's how I managed to did it.
I've put a sign up form in my home#index
My files:
view/home/index.html.erb
<%= render :file => 'registrations/new' %>
helper/home_helper.rb
module HomeHelper
def resource_name
:user
end
def resource
#resource = session[:subscription] || User.new
end
def devise_mapping
#devise_mapping ||= Devise.mappings[:user]
end
def devise_error_messages!
return "" if resource.errors.empty?
messages = resource.errors.full_messages.map { |msg| content_tag(:li, msg) }.join
sentence = I18n.t("errors.messages.not_saved",
:count => resource.errors.count,
:resource => resource_name)
html = <<-HTML
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2>#{sentence}</h2>
<ul>#{messages}</ul>
</div>
HTML
html.html_safe
end
end
You need that part because Devise works with something called resource and it should be defined so you can call your registration#new anywhere.
Like that, you should be able to register. However, I needed to display errors on the same page. Here's what I added:
layout/home.html.erb (the layout used by index view)
<% flash.each do |name, msg| %>
# New code (allow for flash elements to be arrays)
<% if msg.class == Array %>
<% msg.each do |message| %>
<%= content_tag :div, message, :id => "flash_#{name}" %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
# old code
<%= content_tag :div, msg, :id => "flash_#{name}" %>
<% end %> #don't forget the extra end
<% end %>
I found this code here
And here's something I created: I saved my resource object if invalid in a session so that the user hasn't to fill every field again. I guess a better solution exists but it works and it's enough for me ;)
controller/registration_controller.rb
def create
build_resource
if resource.save
if resource.active_for_authentication?
# We delete the session created by an incomplete subscription if it exists.
if !session[:subscription].nil?
session[:subscription] = nil
end
set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_navigational_format?
sign_in(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => redirect_location(resource_name, resource)
else
set_flash_message :notice, :inactive_signed_up, :reason => resource.inactive_message.to_s if is_navigational_format?
expire_session_data_after_sign_in!
respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
end
else
clean_up_passwords(resource)
# Solution for displaying Devise errors on the homepage found on:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4101641/rails-devise-handling-devise-error-messages
flash[:notice] = flash[:notice].to_a.concat resource.errors.full_messages
# We store the invalid object in session so the user hasn't to fill every fields again.
# The session is deleted if the subscription becomes valid.
session[:subscription] = resource
redirect_to root_path #Set the path you want here
end
end
I think I didn't forget any code. Feel free to use whatever you need.
Also, you can add your sign in form in the same page (something like that:)
<%= form_for("user", :url => user_session_path) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
<%= f.submit 'Sign in' %>
<%= f.check_box :remember_me %>
<%= f.label :remember_me %>
<%= link_to "Forgot your password?", new_password_path('user') %>
<% end %>
Cheers !

Rails appends id to singular route when render edit after errors

I have the following singular route:
scope '/seller' do
resource :seller_profile, :path => "/profile", :only => [:show, :edit, :update]
end
and the following controller:
class SellerProfilesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :validate_user_as_seller
def show
#seller_profile = current_user.seller_profile
end
def edit
#seller_profile = current_user.seller_profile
end
def update
#seller_profile = current_user.seller_profile
if #seller_profile.update_attributes(params[:seller_profile])
redirect_to(seller_profile_path, :notice => 'Profile was successfully updated.')
else
render :action => "edit"
end
end
end
I use a singular route given that the user must be authenticated before gaining access to the controller and therefore I can get the seller_profile from the user logged in.
This works like a charm, with only one problem. When I edit the seller_profile and validation error happen, the form is edited again and the errors are displayed correctly. The problem is that rails appends to the url the id of the edited record. For instance,
when I first edit the record, the url is:
http://0.0.0.0:3000/seller/profile/edit
but if the form is submitted with validation errors, the form itself is redisplayed under
http://0.0.0.0:3000/seller/profile.2
where 2 is the ID of the record being edited.
The form is the following:
<%= simple_form_for #seller_profile do |f| %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.input :description %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
Everything, as said, works great but I would totally mask the ID in the url. What should I do?
I have not really worked too much with simple_form_for. But it looks like it is guessing your url always as if they were not single resources. You can provide a custom one:
<%= simple_form_for #seller_profile, :url => seller_profile_path do |f| %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.input :description %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
