This is link_to_remote code for rails 2.3.8
link_to_remote "Click here",
:update=>'flowtracker',
:with=>"'topcount='+$('topcount').value,
:url=>{
:controller => 'sessions',
:action => 'session_for_tracker',
:layout=>1
}
link_to_remote deprecated in rails 3
so how can i specify the :with attribute in link_to rails 3
And i'm using prototype.js
Use link_to helper with :remote => true option and do whatever you want in your js view file to your action.
EXAMPLE
in view:
<%= link_to 'ajax call', :controller => "sessions", :action => "session_for_tracker", :remote => true %>
in controller:
def session_for_tracker
#topcount = 1000; #get actual value here
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
in js view for action:
page << %|
$('flowtracker').update("#{#topcount}");

I have been trying to figure out adding comments without reloading the page using Ajax, after reading few different tutorials this is what I came up to so far, and it's not working:
inside user_comments/_comments.html.erb
<div id="comment_form">
<%= simple_form_for [#commentable, #comment], :html => { :multipart => true }, :remote => true do |f| %>
<div class="picture"><%= image_tag current_user.avatar.url(:thumb) %></div>
<%= f.input :content, label: false, :placeholder => "Add Comment", :input_html => { :rows => 4 } %>
<%= f.submit "Add Comment" %>
<% end %>
</div>
Inside the controller:
def create
#users = User.all
#comment = #commentable.user_comments.new(params[:user_comment])
#comment.user_id = current_user[:id]
##commentable.user_comments.create(:user_id => current_user[:id])
if #comment.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created comment."
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to #commentable }
format.js
#format.js #{ render 'create.js.erb' }
end
else
render :new
end
end
and inside the create.js.erb
// Display a Javascript alert
<% if remotipart_submitted? %>
$("#comments_list").append("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => 'user_comments/comments')) %>");
<% end %>
I'm using a Gem called: remotipart
I don't know what I'm missing in the process.
in the console I get:
POST http://localhost:3000/assignments/2/user_comments
200 OK
134ms
which means the post goes through, but the comment doesnt get added back to the partial.
Ok after 2 days! I fixed it, here is what I can share and might help:
1- make sure to include the :remote => true to the form that is about to be submitted
2- Check the controller and see what the Create action is being redirected, in my case I changed to this:
def create
#users = User.all
#comment = #commentable.user_comments.new(params[:user_comment])
#comment.user_id = current_user[:id]
##commentable.user_comments.create(:user_id => current_user[:id])
if #comment.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created comment."
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js {#comments = #commentable.user_comments}
end
else
render :new
end
end
Then make sure the create.js.erb is written properly:
$("#comments_list").empty()
$("#comments_list").append("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => 'comments')) %>");
there you go! I hope some creates a proper tutorial for newbies like me :)!
I am using the databasedotcom & databasedotcom-rails gem so that I get generate leads into Salesforce from form submissions. It was working standalone until I nested the controller under a parent, and now when I press submit I get this routes error:
No route matches [POST] "/events/516ee9a0421aa9c44e000001/leads/new"
Here is all my code:
resources :events do
resources :leads
end
class LeadsController < ApplicationController
include Databasedotcom::Rails::Controller
def new
#lead = Lead.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #lead }
end
end
def create
#lead = Lead.new(params[:lead])
#lead.event_id = params[:event_id]
#lead['OwnerId'] = '005b0000000WxqE'
#lead['IsConverted'] = false
#lead['IsUnreadByOwner'] = false
respond_to do |format|
if #event_lead.save
format.html { redirect_to #lead, :notice => 'Lead was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :json => #lead, :status => :created, :location => #lead }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.json { render :json => #lead.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
end
<%= simple_form_for [#event, #lead], url: new_event_lead_path do |f| %>
<%= f.input :Download_Brochure__c, :check => "true", :as => :boolean, :as => :hidden %>
<%= f.input :FirstName %>
<%= f.input :LastName %>
<%= f.input :Company %>
<p>Also interested in:</p>
<%= f.input :Sponsor_Request__c, :as => :boolean, :label => "Sponsoring" %>
<%= f.input :Presenting__c, :as => :boolean, :label => "Presenting" %>
<%= f.input :Newsletter_Signup__c, :as => :boolean, :label => "Newletter" %>
<%= f.input :Privacy_Policy__c, :as => :boolean, :checked => true, :label => "Would you like to stay updated" %>
<%= f.button :submit, :label => "Submit" %>
<% end %>
The problem is in your form. With the routes as you have written them, the new_event_lead_path maps to a GET request to your LeadsController#new action. Run rake routes on the command line to confirm this.
You want to submit the form to LeadsController#create. Rails will set this up for you when you use a new instance of Lead in the expression simple_form_for [#event, #lead] provided you don't override the url. Therefore, update your form:
<%= simple_form_for [#event, #lead] do |f| %>
I'm using a link_to to create an object in my Rails 3 app. Searching has given me the proper way to use link_to with the :post method, but I'm wondering if using link_to to pass in a name value for my object as well. Here is my link:
<%= link_to "Todo text", {:controller => "profiles", :action => "create_inside", :method => :post}, :class => "button white" %>
My profiles_controller.rb:
def create_inside
#todo = Insidetodo.new
#todo.save!
if #todo.save
redirect_to #profile.todo, :notice => 'Todo successfully added.'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
My todo.rb model:
class Todo < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :profiles
validates :name, :presence => true
end
Is there a way to add in :name => "#{#user.profile.todotext}" to the link_to so that it passes and saves? I don't know if it's creating properly because at the moment when I click a link_to I get a validation error - Validation failed: Name can't be blank.
For passing name in the link_to
<%= link_to "Todo text", {:controller => "profiles", :action => "create_inside", :name => "#{#user.profile.todotext}", :method => :post}, :class => "button white" %>
and the controller must be
def create_inside
#todo = Insidetodo.new(:name => params[:name])
if #todo.save
redirect_to #todo.goal, :notice => 'Todo successfully added.'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
But the link_to will pass the name parameter in url only(like Todo text).
If you want the name not to be sent in the url, you might want to use a form and use a submit button instead of the link as it is representing an action and not a link.
<%= form_tag(:controller => "profile", :action => "create_profile") do -%>
<%= hidden_field_tag :name, #user.profile.todotext %>
<%= submit_tag "Todo Text" %>
<% end -%>
I've been reading over this resource as well as this post to try to understand Routes more (currently learning programming/Rails by doing) but am wondering how I can fix the error I'm getting, which is No route matches {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"show"}.
I get the error working my way through a Rails 3 sign-up process using nested model forms. The sign-up process, as follows:
user = User.new
user.email = ""
user.password = ""
user.profile = Profile.new
user.profile.save
user.save
The sign-up process starts at the homepage with the following form:
<%= form_for :user, :url => signup_path, :html => {:id => 'homepage'} do |f| %>
<div>
...
</div>
<%= f.fields_for :profile do |f| %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Then the process goes to fill in the profile, then redirect to the new User's profile after this form is completed:
<%= form_for :profile, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<div>
...
</div>
<%= f.fields_for :user do |f| %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
I have accepts_nested_attributes_for :user and :profile in their respective models.
My rails server it gives me a bit more detail:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches {:controller=>"profile.save", :action=>"show"}):
app/controllers/profiles_controller.rb:15:in `create'
So in my ProfilesController in 'create':
def create
#profile = Profile.new(params[:profile])
if #profile.save
redirect_to profile_path, :notice => 'User successfully added.'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
Seems clear that the issue is in profile_path, so my Routes.rb:
post "/signup" => "profiles#create", :as => "signup"
match "skip/signup", :to => "info#signupskip"
match "skip/profiles/new", :to => "profiles#newskip"
root :to => "users#create"
Can anyone help shed light on what I'm doing wrong/missing in my Routes.rb file?
The redirect path should contain the specific profile to redirect to:
if #profile.save
redirect_to profile_path(#profile), :notice => 'User successfully added.'
else
.....
Also the routes should include this line:
get "/profiles/:id" => "profiles#show", as => "profile"
I am working on a project which allow people to upload a personal profile, including projects and updates related to their project.
Everything is working fine except that I would like to submit my form using :remote => true but i have no way to get it to work. I could use classic jquery/ajax to submit the form, but the Rails3 UJS is great !
updates_controller.rb
def create
#update = Update.new(params[:update])
#update.user_id = current_user.id
#update.project_id = params[:project_id]
if #update.save
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :nothing => true }
end
end
end
_form.html (views)
<%= form_for([#project, #update], :url => profile_project_updates_path, :remote => true) do |f| %>
I tried also
<%= form_for([:profile, #project, #update], :remote => true) do |f| %>
routes.rb
namespace :profile do
resources :projects, :only => [:show, :index, :edit] do
resources :updates
end
end
If anyone has an idea how to get the :remote => true to work here , it will be great !!
Thanks to all the Stack Overflow community for all the precious resources I found here so far.

Did you initialized #project in new action of controller?
Try to replace
<%= form_for([#project, #update], :url => profile_project_updates_path, :remote => true) do |f| %>
with
<%= form_for([#update.project_id, #update], :url => profile_project_updates_path, :remote => true) do |f| %>
What is the server response when you submit the form?
