I am creating blog application in rails. I have a common form for creating and updating blog.
This is view of edit and new.html.erb
<%= render :partial => "form"%>
This is view of _form.html.erb blog:
<%= form_for #blog do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title, :placeholder => "Title" %><br>
<%= f.cktext_area :article, :placeholder => "Content", :ckeditor => {:toolbar => "MyToolbar"} %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
My blog is creating successfully but I am getting error on update action. This is my edit and update action in blog controller:
def edit
#blog = Blog.find_by_slug(params[:id])
end
def update
#blog = Blog.find(params[:id]) || not_found
#blog.update_attributes(params[:blog])
redirect_to "/blogs/#{#blog.slug}"
end
When I open form from edit view, and click on update button, it throws error:
No route matches [PUT] "/blog/2"
My routes.rb is:
resources :blogs
get 'blog', to: 'blogs#index'
get '/blog/:id', to: 'blogs#show', as: 'blog'
I am not getting where it is going wrong. I tried to add "url: blogs_path" in form_for, it removes the error but doesn't save the edit changes.
Can anybody help me where I am going wrong here?
Thank you.
Okay. I dont understand why you want to go against conventions. Anyway, using form_for resource would automatically generate action URL as a PUT to /resources/:id if its an update operation.
So to override this you need to do two things.
update your routes to support this:
Add this line to your routes file:
put 'blog/:id' => 'blogs#update', :as => 'update_blog'
It is important that you put this line above your 'resources :blogs` call.
2 . specify the URL to which the form should submit:
You will need to create the form tag like this:
<%= form_for #blog, :url => update_blog_path(#blog) do |f| %>
Try this and let us know.

I have one data model 'object' with fields->object_id, object_name.
That is: http://localhost:3000/objects/
I have created another model 'front_pages' (not created any migration in this, instead I have created some pages like 'search.html.erb'(by hand) and the associated controllers).
That is: http://localhost:3000/front_pages/
My question is: How to access/search the items stored in the 'object' database within the 'search.html.erb'.
"These two are in the same rails project folder"
-> How to display the search results into an HTML.erb file?
views/static_pages/show.html.erb
<% #npsobject.each do |npsobjects| %>
Nps:
Nps type:
Nps name:
|
Static_page Controller
class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
def show
#npsobject=Npsobject.find(:all, :conditions => ['nps_name LIKE ?', "%#{params[ :search]}%"]);
end
views/static_pages/new.html.erb
<%= form_tag( { :action =>"show"}, { :method => "get"}) do %> # The action path is ok??
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], :class => 'inputBox' %>
"button") %>
Please verify the above codes and guide me through, as Im new to RoR..:)
You need to move your
#npsobject = Npsobject.find
into show action
and then each it into your views/static_pages/show.html.erb
<% #npsobject.each do |nps| %>
<%= nps.nps_name %>
<% end %>
I am trying to pass along a local variable to a partial using link_to. I have tried many different things, but it doesn't seem to work. The js file loads the partial fine, it just doesn't have the locals. This is what I have, thanks for any direction!
_health.html.erb (this is a partial on index.html of Contacts model)
<% #comments = Comment.find_all_by_api(#api) %>
<%= link_to 'Read Comments', comments_path(:comments => #comments), :action => 'comments', :remote => true %>
comments.js.erb
$("#comments").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => 'comment', :locals => {:comments => :comments})) %>");
comment.html.erb
<% unless #comments.blank? %>
<% #comments.each do |c| %>
<%= c %><br />
<% end %>
<% end %>
contacts_controller.rb
def comments
respond_to do | format |
format.js {render :layout => false}
end
end
The partial does not know about the comments because you never set them. The comments action in the controller needs to look like this:
def comments
#comments = Comment.find(params[:id])
respond_to do | format |
(replace params[:id] with the appropriate parameter from your route)
You're doing an AJAX request and since http is stateless, the comments action does not know anything about any previous requests - which means that the comments from _health.html.erb have ceased to exist for the comments action in the controller.
I'm trying to render the Devise edit password form within another view because I don't want to duplicate the edit pw logic.
I've tried the following (after generating the Devise views):
<%= render 'devise/passwords/edit' %>
<%= render 'devise/passwords/form' %>
And a number of other variations on render that all seem to give me the same error:
"ActionView::MissingTemplate in foo#foo
Missing partial devise/passwords/edit..."
This variation:
<%= render :file => 'devise/passwords/edit.html.erb' %>
Gave me some hope but the following error:
"undefined local variable or method `resource' for #<#:0x47ef0e0>"
around this line:
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => password_path(resource_name), :html => { :method => :put }) do |f| %>
That makes me think I'm close (as that is code from the form that I want) but shouldn't that template be using the correct logic from the hidden Devise controller? Or do I need to do something in the routes file to get this to work?
Am I way off?
Try this:
<%= render :template => 'devise/passwords/edit',
:locals => {
:resource => my_user_model_variable,
:resource_name => my_user_model_name } %>
Where:
my_user_model_variable could be current_user
my_user_model_name could be "User"
I'm new to Rails and I've just spent another hour Googling and not finding an example.
So I have a simple form that I need to submit to an API. So I tried submitting it to the API directly but got advice that I do it in my app so I can do something with the results. Anyway, here's my simple form:
<%= form_tag(:action => 'submit') do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :email, :value => "Your email address...", :class => "text", :id => "email", :name => 'email',
:onFocus => "change(this,'#222222'); this.value=''; this.onfocus=null;",
:size => "26" %>
<%= f.hidden_field :ref_code, :id => 'ref_code', :name => 'ref_code', :value => #referralid %>
<%= submit_tag "Enter To Win", :class => "button-positive submit" %>
<% end %>
Everything I'm seeing has forms that that use a model, I have no need to persist this data, just pass it on to the API.
So my thought was I just create an action in the home controller, where this page lives and have the action submit to it but I get a RoutingError and it's: No route matches {:action=>"submit", :controller=>"home"}
So what do I need to put in the Routes.rb? I tried:
namespace :home do
resources :submit
end
No Joy... I'm sure it's simple but I just can't find the right example.
I think that you should have a look at the ruby guides, it's very well explained (but I don't think it talks about API) and it will save you a lot of time in the future, I swear.
Not sure what you mean but I see some wired stuff, so I hope to be useful, but if you're following some tutorials from the net let us know the link.
Basically what I do is always to call an action of a controller (MVC), following this way you should have a controller (?? apis_controller ??) and call one action of it.
So you want to use form_tag instead of form_for because you're not addressing a model, therefor you want to get rid of f. and use suffix _tag (api).
<%= form_tag(send_api_path) do %>
<%= text_field_tag :email, "Your email address..." %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :ref_code, #referralid %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :api_name, 'your_api_name' %>
<%= submit_tag "Enter To Win" %>
<% end %>
Then, in your apis_controller.rb you create an action send where you send and manage your request.
#apis_controller.rb
def send
# TODO: your code here
end
Another thing is to set the routes, something like
#routes.rb
match 'apis/send' => 'apis#send', :as => :send_api
I'm sure this is not 100% working code, but it should be useful
How to call the api? I had I fast look and found this.
When you ask for help it's always good to attach the error you get, this makes it easier for people to understand the problem.
does anyone know how to use a form partial to create and update data about an object? My update method seems to work, but I can't create a new object. Every time I clink on the 'Add new ad' I get this error:[ActionController:Routing Error in Classified#new No route matches {:controller=>classified}]. Here is the code for the partial form: The error points to the first line:
<%= form_for(#classified) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :title %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :price %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :price %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :location %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :location %>
</p>
<%= f.label :description %><br/>
<%= f.text_area :description %>
<%= f.label :email %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', {:action => 'list'} %>
Here are my methods for new, edit and update in the Classified controller class:
def new
#classified=Classified.new
end
Here is the 'def create' method:
def create
#classified = Classified.new(params[:classified])
if #classified.save
redirect_to :action => 'list'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
I suspect the problem is in my config/routes.rb. I already have this line:
resources :classified
I have also put:
root :to => "Classified#list"
root :to => "Classified#new"
root :to => "Classified#show"
root :to => "Classified#edit"
root :to => "Classified#form
Could the problem be with the routes.rb file. And how comes it works with the update method and not the new method? Please help. I have tried all possible tricks to no avail. I will be so glad. Thanks in advance
I would like to know the result of your rake routes, because you use the singular for your controller classified.
Could it be classifieds, with the S in all your routes? I'm not that sure because resources: classified I guess came from the scaffold and so it should be good, then you miss a `"' on your last line but this could be a typo.
I would recommend having a plural name for the resource, as that is the norm for most resources:
resources :classifieds
You will also need to change your controller name and class name to classifieds_controller and ClassifiedsController
Also, your named routes should be lowercase (although you should get rid of these routes altogether):
root :to => "classifieds#list"
Get rid of the root routes. The resources line will create all the routes you need. And you are only supposed to have one root route in routes.rb and that should point to your home page controller#action.
If you have an action for form, then you don't need that either.. just mentioning this because you created a route for "Classified#form". Controller actions are not necessary for partials.
Your new and create methods and the form look ok at first glance. Try reworking your routes first and if you are still having problems, run rake routes from the command line and post the output in your question and leave me a comment on this answer and I will see if I can help you figure it out.
