OK, so Ive set up my mailer in Rails which works fine, but I wanted to make a new action (or maybe just a view?) to have a slimmed down contact form in a lightbox. I can do that all fine and dandy but it would use the default layout which I dont want. So I added:
render :layout => 'lightbox'
to the action so that I could use a new layout. Unfortunately that seems to block off my access to the model as I get this error when the lightbox pops up
undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class
#on this line
<% form_for #contact, :url => {:action => "create"}, :html => {:method => :post} do |f| %>
So by using a different layout I cant use the resources I set up in my routes which is here:
resources :contacts, :only => [:new, :create], :as => :contacts
#Im passing in a name to the email form
match "contacts/direct/:name" => "contacts#direct", :as => :direct_email
I hope that made sense. But what do I do?

I have used link_to to call controller action.
<%= link_to "Inactive", {:controller => :leave_details, :action => :deactivate}, {:method => :post } %>.
but my requirement is to pass id also to controller action but when i try to pass id(:id=>leave_detail.id) it is not showing in params. my params look like
{"_method"=>"post", "authenticity_token"=>"3vfyGQ5V6GQXRt2aQt+DOT0b3eGgP7B401uclnIGLUU=", "action"=>"deactivate", "controller"=>"leave_details"}.
In route file i have added
resources :leave_details do
post :deactivate, :on => :collection
end
can anyone tell me what is going wrong in this code or what i am missing.

I am trying to generate a url in an actionmailer template. An example if the url I want to generate is
http://0.0.0.0:3000/users/confirm/lNbQxzFukYtEEw2RMCA
Where the last segment is a hash to identify the user
However when I use this
<%= url_for(:controller => 'users', :action => 'confirm', :id => #user.confirmhash, :only_path => false) %>
It generates this
http://0.0.0.0:3000/assets?action=confirm&controller=users&id=ZOR3dNMls8533T8hJUfCJw
How can I get it to correctly format? I have no idea where 'assets' is coming from.
Is there an easier way to use named routes that I am missing?
I've found the answer. As I'm still learning I've missed the option to create a named route. So this this the path I've taken.
In config/routes.rb
match 'user/confirm/:id' => 'users#confirm', :as => :confirm_account
Then in my action mailer template I've used
<%= link_to "Confirm your account", confirm_account_url(#user.confirmhash) %>
Which passes the :id into the controller action.
OK, I've been having relative success with RESTful authentication. I followed this tutorial to add the capability to change the password. The problem is that tutorial is written for rails 2.3 and I'm using rails 3.
The code used in my controller and view are exactly as they are in the tutorial
I added to routes.rb:
match '/change_password' => 'users#change_password', :as => :change_password
resources :users, :controller => 'users', :collection => {:change_password_update => :put}
Now i get this error: undefined method `change_password_update_user_path'
the comments to the tutorial mentioned that exact error, and they said the solution is in the routing, but given the routing differences between 2.3 and 3, I'm really just guessing what needs to go in there. Any idea how i can get this working?
all i had to do is change
<% form_tag change_password_update_user_path(current_user), :method => :put do |f| %>
to
<% form_tag '/change_password_update', :method => :put do |f| %>
and put this in my routes.rb
match '/change_password' => 'users#change_password', :as => :change_password
match '/change_password_update' => 'users#change_password_update', :as => :change_password_update
resources :users, :controller => 'users', :collection => {:change_password_update => :put}
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"
Rails is giving me a route error even though the route appears to
be in the route list.
The form is doing a Post to try to hit the update route on the Admin::ProductsController.
The edit route, index route, and show route work fine.
Using Rails 3.0.5 and ruby 1.9.2
Anyone have an idea? I can't seem to see the problem.
Error
No route matches "/admin/products/2039"
Code from ERB File that is generating the form
<%= form_for :product, #product, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
Products Controller method at this point is just a stub of
def update
puts params.inspect
end
Routes File
Analytics::Application.routes.draw do
match 'login' => 'Authentication#login', :via => [:get, :post]
namespace :admin do
# Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
# (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
root :to => 'AdminInterface#index', :via => :get
resources :products
resources :publishers, :only => [:edit, :update]
match 'publishers/query/:subset' => 'Publishers#index', :as => :publishers_subset, :via => [:get, :post]
end
end
According to your routes, shouldn't that be
= form_for [:admin, #product] do |f|
Your form_for can just be:
<%= form_for #product do |f| %>
If #product is an existing object then it will automatically know to go the update action of the ProductsController.
