I know this is probably a pretty simple concept. I am trying to create a link to a controller and action. For example I have a link in my layout file to update a record when a link is clicked, so I need to be able to link to the controller and action. How would I accomplish this?
link_to "Label", :controller => :my_controller, :action => :index
See url_for.
Also with CSS:
<%= link_to "Purchase", { :controller => :transactions, :action => :purchase }, { class: "btn btn-primary btn-lg", style: "width: 100%;" } %>
If you want to pass params too then do
<%= link_to student.name, controller: "users", action: "show", id: student.id, partial: "profile" %>

Hello im doing simple update..
logged_customer_controller.rb
class LoggedCustomerController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authorize
helper_method :current_customer
layout "frontend"
def current_customer
#current_customer ||= Customer.find(session[:customer_id]) if session[:customer_id]
end
def authorize
if session[:auth] != true
redirect_to login_path, :notice => "Not logged."
end
end
def show
end
def edit
end
def update
respond_to do |format|
if current_customer.update_attributes(params[:current_customer])
format.html { redirect_to view_path, notice: 'Customer was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: current_customer.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
end
routes.rb
match "view" => "logged_customer#show", :via => :get
match "edit" => "logged_customer#edit", :via => :get
match "edit" => "logged_customer#edit", :via => :put
edit.html.erb
<%= form_for current_customer, :url => url_for(:controller => 'logged_customer', :action => 'edit'), :html => { :class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %>
<% if current_customer.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<div class="alert alert-error">
The form contains <%= pluralize(current_customer.errors.count, "error") %>.
</div>
<ul>
<% current_customer.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li> <%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>

I can display localhost:3000/view where is edit button. At localhost:3000/edit the form is displayed with autofilled informations, everything looks good. When i click on submit button im redirected to same edit autofilled form but WITHOUT any error ? So i guess there is some mistake because updating failed and another mistake that it dont render errors. What im doing wrong ?
I have logged_customer_controller.rb because customer_controller.rb is for administration purposes and is under authorization.
at Development.log i have only (looks good)
Started PUT "/edit" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-08-19 14:54:30 +0200
Processing by LoggedCustomerController#edit as HTML
Parameters: {...}
<Executing SQL ...>

Well, on your form_for you say that the action is the edit one, when it should be update.
<%= form_for current_customer,
:url => url_for(:controller => 'logged_customer', :action => 'edit'),
:html => { :class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %>
This way, when you submit it would hit the edit action. Change this and you are good to go.
Also, change you route as #Mattherick said:
match "update" => "logged_customer#update", :via => :put
Change your routes (rails 3):
match "view" => "logged_customer#show", :via => :get
match "edit" => "logged_customer#edit", :via => :get
match "update" => "logged_customer#update", :via => :put
Change your routes (rails 4):
get "view" => "logged_customer#show"
get "edit" => "logged_customer#edit"
patch "update" => "logged_customer#update"
Change your form:
<%= form_for current_customer, :url => url_for(:controller => 'logged_customer', :action => 'update'), :method => "patch", :html => { :class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %>
<%= # your form fields %>
<% end %>
I'm new to ROR but I face this problem:
in the index page I have
<%= button_to 'Yes', { :action => 'vote', :id => poll.id, :user_answer => 'yes' }, :method => :post %>
when user presses the "Yes button" the url that passed to the controller contains all the parameters explicitly to the user.
vote?id=1&user_answer=yes
in routes.rb I have:
match 'vote' => 'polls#vote', :via => :post
Any help is appreciated
edit: the entire index.html.erb
Polls
<% #polls.each do |poll| %>
<p>
<%= poll.question %>?
<%= button_to 'Yes', { :action => 'vote', :id => poll.id, :user_answer => 'yes' }, :method => :post %> (<%= poll.yes %>) /
<%= button_to 'No', { :action => 'vote', :id => poll.id, :user_answer => 'no' }, :method => :post %> (<%= poll.no %>)
</p>
<% end %>
The default method for button_to is post, so no need to explicitly specify it unless you want to use other verbs (get, put).
If you don't like the params appended to the url, you might want to use a form instead.
Or, just add the form hash to your button_to tag:
<%= button_to 'Yes', { :action => 'vote', :id => poll.id, :user_answer => 'yes' }, :form => {:data_type => <your choice (html, json)> %>
quite random behavior, I'm calling on a modal dialog to show a partial inside.
I'm working with simple_form + bootstrap and jquery-ui.
the button that calls the function has this code in the view:
<p><%= link_to 'New Boots', new_boot_path, :class => 'btn btn-primary pull-right', :remote => true, :id => 'new_boot_link' %></p>
in my views/boots/new the code is this:
<div id="content">
<%= render :partial => 'form' %>
</div>
and in views/boots/_form the following
<%= simple_form_for(#boot, :html => { :class => 'form-vertical' }, :remote => true) do |f| %>
<fieldset>
<%= f.input :number %>
<%= f.input :size, :collection => boot_size_options %>
<%= f.input :condition, :collection => boot_condition_options %>
<%= f.input :brand , :collection => boot_brand_options %>
</fieldset>
<div class="form-actions">
<%= f.button :submit, :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
<%= submit_tag 'Reset', :type => :reset, :class => "btn btn-danger" %>
</div>
<% end %>
In application.js i have the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#new_boot_link').click(function(e) {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$('#modal').dialog({
title: "New Boots",
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width:'auto',
open: function() {
return $(this).load(url + ' #content');}
});
});
});
So the modal works as it should, but it appears at the bottom of the screen, however if i close it and click on the button again, it shows right in the middle as it should have done in the first place.
Is it css? I think maybe not, as otherwise it would continue showing up constantly in the same place... so i dont know if is the way I'm calling the function?
Suggestions are welcome, this is quite an annoying glitch!
Sorry about previous mistakes.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce your problem in person. I suspect that this would help because it will convert the DIV and on call fill and display.
$(document).ready(function(){
var modal=$('#modal');
$('#new_boot_link').click(function(e) {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
modal.load(url + ' #content',function(){
modal.dialog("open");
});
});
modal.dialog({ autoOpen: false, title: "New Boots", draggable: true,
resizable: false, modal: true, width:'auto'});
});
Include: jQuery Center
Change to:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#new_boot_link').click(function(e) {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$('#modal').dialog({
title: "New Boots",
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
width:'auto',
open: function() {
return $(this).load(url + ' #content');}
});
}).center(false);
});
This set your dialog on middle-center of page.
If you have specific place you want show dialog force:
..}).css({position:"relative"}).css("left",null).css("top",null);
// Last too remove value of left and top. Trick with {left:null,top:null} does not work!
I have the following form_tag working:
<%= form_tag url_for(:controller => "profiles", :action => "remove_academic", :method => :delete), :id => "remove_major_goal", :remote => true do %>
However, the HTML produced shows that :method => "delete" isn't working. So I found a few answers here on form_tag and tried this:
<%= form_tag url_for({ :controller => "profiles", :action => "remove_academic", :method => "delete" }, { :id => "remove_major_goal", :remote => true }) do %>
However that kicks back an error. What am I doing wrong?
DELETE is not a valid value of the method attribute for a HTML form element. You would probably be better inserting a <input type="hidden" name="method" value="delete" /> inside the form (or use a helper method to do so).
Update:
Try one of these:
form_for url_for(:controller => "", :action => ""), :method => "delete", …
form_for { :controller => "", :action => "" }, { :method => "delete", … }
The second set of braces in the second form maybe unnecessary. Likewise, they might be needed in the first form.
When the user is clicking on a link with the class "edit_resource", the content of a div should be replaced by a partial. Here is my code:
$(".edit_resource").click(function(){
var id = $(this).attr("id")
$('#id' + id + '_show').html("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:#resource => resource})%>")
})
The code is working as expected, except that that escape_javascript doesn't work. The new content of the div is the text
<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:#resource => resource})%>
, and this is also what is shown on the page.
No code is executed, and my partial isn't rendered. I have tried to use <%== instead of <%= without luck.
I have also tried
<%= raw escape_javascript(render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:#resource => resource})%>
I have even tried to replace the partial part of the code with just simple rails code. That didn't help either.
What can I do?
I use Rails 3.0.10, and my javascript_include_tag is like this:
<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery-1.6.2.min', 'jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min', 'application', 'jquery.rails.js'%>
Add .html_safe after the closing bracket of escape_javascript
I have put my js in a js.erb-file, and finally managed to use my variables in the right way.
Here's my code:
$('#id' + '<%= #id %>' + '_show').html('<%= escape_javascript(raw render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:#resource => Resource.find_by_id(#id)}).html_safe %>')
And in the controller:
format.js { #id = params[:id]}
In the view: <%= link_to t('edit'), resources_path(:id => resource.id), :remote => true %>
I don't think you can have :#resource # followed by an symbol :
<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:#resource => resource})%>
Just take that # out
<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'form', :locals => {:resource => resource})%>
and use the variable by calling
resource in your partial
