I have a user model which contains an "email switch" column with a boolean value. I'd like to create a button in my view which allows the user to turn "on" and "off" their emails. I can't get the submit button to update the value in the User model.
<%= form_for :user do |f| %>
<label>On</label>
<%= f.radio_button :email_switch, true %>
<label>Off</label>
<%= f.radio_button :email_switch, false %>
<%= f.submit "Save", :controller => "dashboard_emails", :action => "update", :method => "put" %>
<% end %>
class DashboardEmailsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :require_user
def index
end
def update
end
private
def require_user
#user = #logged_in_user
end
class User
field :email_switch, type: Boolean, default: false
end
You need to pass the arguments to form_for not to the f.submit call. If you have a persisted user assigned to #user you should be able to do:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<label>On</label>
<%= f.radio_button :email_switch, true %>
<label>Off</label>
<%= f.radio_button :email_switch, false %>
<%= f.submit "Save" %>
<% end %>
Of course you need resources :users in your config/routes.rb to get this working. This should then send a PUT request to /users/47, which in turn fires the #update action of your UsersController

When I create a new comment the text saves fine but the commenter is not being saved. I have verified that the column for commenter exists and that the parameter is being passed. The field just isn't inserting into the table and I have no clue why.
Form:
<%= form_for #comment do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :new_comment %>
<%= f.text_field :text %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :user_id, params[:user_id] %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :post_id, params[:id] %>
<%= f.submit "Comment" %>
</p>
<% end %>
Action:
def create
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
#post = #user.posts.find(params[:post_id])
#comment = #post.comments.create(params[:comment].permit(:text, :commenter))
redirect_to show_post_path(#user, #post)
end
Add one more field in form which will pass commenter for comment
<%= form_for #comment do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :new_comment %>
<%= f.text_field :text %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :user_id, params[:user_id] %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :post_id, params[:id] %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'comment[commenter]', params[:user_id] %>
<%= f.submit "Comment" %>
</p>
<% end %>
OR
Change controller code to
def create
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
#post = #user.posts.find(params[:post_id])
#comment = #post.comments.new(params[:comment].permit(:text, :commenter))
#comment.commenter = #user.id
#comment.save
redirect_to show_post_path(#user, #post)
end
I'm guessing you want your commenter_id in your form instead of user_id. Change your user_id line in your form to:
<%= hidden_field_tag :commenter_id, params[:commenter_id] %>
And then change the third line in your create function:
#comment = #post.comments.create(params[:comment].permit(:text, :commenter_id))
Have you check your association between User model and Comment Model?
in User model it should be has_many :comments and in Comment Model belongs_to :user
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
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
I have a regular form for User information which starts like so:
<%= form_for(#user, :html => { :class => "form-horizontal" }) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
...
<%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-primary", :name => "submit_button" if #user.last_step? %>
<% end %>
I also have some non User fields in the form. Here's an example:
<%= f.label "When is your birthday?" %>
<%= select_tag "month" %>
<%= select_tag "day" %>
<%= select_tag "year" %>
How would I save this to a different table than User?
If you want to update a model other than User, you should probably use accepts_nested_attributes_for and fields_for. The alternative is to just do the work in your create action of your UsersController, ie:
def create
#user = User.create params[:user]
#foo = Foo.find params[:foo_id]
#foo.date = Date.new(params[:foo_year], params[:foo_month], params[:foo_day])
...
end
I have a form to create adverts.
Controllers:
def edit
#engines = Engine.all
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
if #car.save
redirect_to root_path
end
end
My routes:
resources :adverts
Create.html.erb
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
<div><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></div>
<%= hidden_field_tag :model_id, params[:model_id] %>
<%= select_tag :engine_id, options_from_collection_for_select(#engines, "id", "name",:selected=>#car.engine_id) %>
<div><%= f.submit "Create car!" %></div>
<% end %>
I can create advert, but I can't to update it.
edit.html.erb
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
<div><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></div>
<%= hidden_field_tag :model_id, params[:model_id] %>
<%= select_tag :engine_id, options_from_collection_for_select(#engines, "id", "name",:selected=>#car.engine_id) %>
<div><%= f.submit "Update car!" %></div>
<% end %>
when I submited my form, I have an error - No route matches [PUT] "/adverts"
$ rake routes:
adverts GET /adverts(.:format) adverts#index
POST /adverts(.:format) adverts#create
new_advert GET /adverts/new(.:format) adverts#new
edit_advert GET /adverts/:id/edit(.:format) adverts#edit
advert GET /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#show
PUT /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#update
DELETE /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#destroy
I need help.
When you are updating you have to let Rails know which object you want to update by passing an id.
In edit.html.erb change:
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
to:
<%= form_for #car, :url => advert_path(#car) do |f| %>
By the way, I find your code very strange. Why don't your model names match your controllers and routes? I mean you are creating an advert but your model is called car. That doesn't make any sense. Either call it car or advert, but don't mix them.
If you used RESTful routing, you don't need to specify a url, just need:
<%= form_for #car do |f| %>
The form can know #car is new record, or saved record, so it will send appropriate http method.
And in your update action:
def update
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
if #car.update_attributes(params[:car])
redirect_to root_path
end
end
I got myself in a similar situation today with a mismatched resource and model name. I agree the model and controller names need to correlate, but you can override the routes name to be whatever you want.
resources :cars, path: "adverts"
Along with RESTful routing
<%= form_for #car do |f| %>
You may also want to make sure your url: path is singular on the #form_form.
