I have found some related questions but they don't seem to work for my case, they are either for older versions or don't fit my approach.
I have set up a User model with devise and it has two related models, it has one Contact Detail and many Addresses. I also have Petergate to get the roles.
I want any user to edit their registration (I have added contact details and addresses at the app/views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb form) and admin can edit all.
The button in the contact details show page is implemented like this:
<%= link_to 'Edit Profile', edit_user_registration_path(#contact_detail.user) if logged_in?(:admin) || current_user.id == #contact_detail.user_id %>
and the edit form is the following
h2>Edit <%= resource_name.to_s.humanize %></h2>
<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: user_registration_path(resource_name), html: { method: :put }) do |f| %>
...
...
<div>
<%= f.fields_for :contact_detail do |contact_detail|%>
<%= render "contact_detail_fields", f: contact_detail %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.fields_for :addresses do |address_form| %>
<%= render "address_fields", f: address_form %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.submit "Update", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
But when I click the button on a user's contact details page, I always redirect to the admins edit page (/users/edit.1) and not to the user's edit page.
How can edit I the correct user's registration path?
My routes.rb file has the following:
resources :addresses
resources :contact_details
devise_for :users, controllers: {
registrations: 'my_registrations'
}
I haven't made a users controller override and my models don't contain anything relevant.
Thanks in advance!
An admin section where you can CRUD other users is not actually a feature of Devise.
The Devise RegistrationsController is built from the ground up to only work for the current user. The routes are actually singular and don't contain an id segment. You would have to override pretty much everything to get it working and in the process you're steamrolling the Single Responsibility Principle.
If you want to CRUD other users just create a seperate route and controller just like you would for any other resource. You can just run rails g scaffold_controller users to scaffold one.
devise_for :users, controllers: {
registrations: 'my_registrations'
}
resources :users
If you want to share view code between registrations and your users controller don't try to recycle your app/views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb view. Instead spit the view into partials that can be resused.
# app/views/users/_fields.html.erb
<div>
<%= f.fields_for :contact_detail do |contact_detail|%>
<%= render "contact_detail_fields", f: contact_detail %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.fields_for :addresses do |address_form| %>
<%= render "address_fields", f: address_form %>
<% end %>
</div>
# ...
# app/views/users/_form.html.erb
<%= form_for(user) do |f| >
<%= render "users/fields", f: f %>
<%= f.submit, class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
# app/views/users/new/html.erb
<%= render "form", user: #user %>
# app/views/users/new/edit.erb
<%= render "form", user: #user %>
# app/views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb
# This might be broken due to your earlier modifications so might want to
# regenerate the views
<h2>Edit <%= resource_name.to_s.humanize %></h2>
<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, method: :put do|f| %>
<%= render "users/fields", f: f %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.submit "Update", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
<% end %>
While you can explicitly render another view by passing a path in the controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def edit
#user = User.find(params[:id])
render 'devise/registrations/edit',
locals: { resource: #user, resource_name: :user }
end
end
This really just pushes the complexity down into the view layer. Editing your own account and someone else account is not the same thing and the view will end up full of conditionals sooner or later.

I created a button where users can input stuff in a field and then press the button to update the database (put request) which can be seen here in show.html.erb:
<% provide(:title, #user.name) %>
<div class="row">
<aside class="col-md-4">
<section class="user_info">
<h1>
<%= gravatar_for #user %>
<%= #user.name %>
<br>
<%= #user.email %>
<% if #errors %>
<p>THE FORM COULD NOT BE SAVED </p>
<ul id='errors'>
<% #errors.each do |error| %>
<li><%= error %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
<% end %>
<br>
<% if is_admin? %>
<% if !#user.admin %>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :wistia_project_id %>
<%= f.text_field :wistia_project_id, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Save", :action => "set_wistia_project_ID", :method => :patch, :form_class => "form-control" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</h1>
</section>
</aside>
</div>
The function is in user_controller.rb:
# Sets wistia_project_ID.
def set_wistia_project_ID
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.set_project_id
unless #user.valid?
#errors = #user.errors.full_messages
render :show
end
end
That function calls another function, just to separate things more clearly. This other function lives in user.rb:
# Sets the wistia_project_ID.
def set_project_id!(val)
self.wistia_project_ID = val # self is necessary here
save # or self.save, but the self is unnecessary here
end
My routes.rb:
.
.
.
resources :users do
member do
patch 'set_wistia_project_ID'
end
end
My problem is that right now, when you press the button, it says: Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 26ms (ActiveRecord: 0.7ms)
and
NoMethodError (undefined method `set_project_id' for #<User:0x000055b1a0914ab8>
2019-06-26T14:46:34.940086+00:00 app[web.1]: Did you mean? wistia_project_id):
Zavitoski got it right. I suggest, however, that you're doing a number of things more fundamentally wrong. Given that you're early in your rails journey, I hope you don't mind if I point a few things out.
First, and to be nit-picky, yes, you created a button. But, it is not a button "where users can input stuff in a field and then press the button to update the database". You created a button on a form. And you created a field on that form. The user can input stuff into the field. And when clicked, the button submits the form which includes the information in the field.
Now, on that form, you did:
<%= form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :wistia_project_id %>
<%= f.text_field :wistia_project_id, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Save", :action => "set_wistia_project_ID", :method => :patch, :form_class => "form-control" %>
<% end %>
There are a few things wrong with:
:action => "set_wistia_project_ID"
First, set_wisteria_project_ID is not a very ruby-ish action name. set_wistia_project_id would be more like it. Also, you're using old-form key-value formatting. And, you can use a symbol instead of a string for your action name so your code is prettier. Something, perhaps, like:
<%= f.submit "Save", action: :set_wistia_project_id, method: :patch, form_class: "form-control" %>
But, that's a mistake, too. Because you don't need a set_wistia_project_id action. (It's an action or a method, not a function.) You already have the update action. And form_for is smart enough to submit to this action if #user is an instance of User. So, really, you should do:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.label :wistia_project_id %>
<%= f.text_field :wistia_project_id, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Save", form_class: "form-control" %>
<% end %>
I'm not sure what form_class is, but I'll trust that it's correct.
Now, in your UsersController, just do:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def update
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if user.update(user_params)
# do something successful
else
# do something unsuccessful
end
end
private
def user_params
# NOTE: You'll probably want to permit other stuff here, too.
params.require(:user).permit(:wistia_project_id)
end
end
Get rid of this:
class User < ApplicationRecord
# Sets the wistia_project_ID.
def set_project_id!(val)
self.wistia_project_ID = val # self is necessary here
save # or self.save, but the self is unnecessary here
end
end
Because you're just duplicating the update method. And, you probably want that attribute to be wistia_project_id, not wistia_project_ID. (Again, you never see _ID as the suffix in rails core and you might as well be conventional.) And, if you make sure you have your association set up correctly, ActiveRecord should make sure that wistia_project_id is actually a valid value.
And write your routes.rb like this:
resources :users
Because you don't need all that set_wistia_project_id business.
It appears that you are not calling the function by the name you defined, neither passing the parameter (project_id) needed.
def set_wistia_project_ID
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.set_project_id!(params[:wistia_project_id])
unless #user.valid?
#errors = #user.errors.full_messages
render :show
end
end
This should use the function you created and pass the parameter from the form.
I have Challenges containing Puns, and it is possible to vote on puns. On the Challenge Show page, all puns are rendered and show their votes count. This is currently on the view page:
<%= render #challenge.puns.reverse %>
<br>
<div id="form">
<%= render "puns/form" %>
</div>
I want the puns form to appear above the items (puns) already submitted. But if swap them around, like this:
<div id="form">
<%= render "puns/form" %>
</div>
<%= render #challenge.puns.reverse %>
I get a controller error and pun.id is not suddenly not available and the voting link breaks.
No route matches {:action=>"upvote", :challenge_id=>"9", :controller=>"puns", :id=>nil}, missing required keys: [:id]
Here is the puns/form part that is causing the issue
<% if signed_in? %>
<% if current_user.voted_for? pun %>
<%= pun.votes_for.size %>
<span class="pun_text"><%= link_to pun.pun_text, challenge_pun_path(#challenge, pun.id) %></span>
<% else %>
<%= link_to like_challenge_pun_path(#challenge, pun.id), method: :put do %>
<span class="heart_like">❤</span> <%= pun.votes_for.size %>
<% end %>
<span class="pun_text"><%= link_to pun.pun_text, challenge_pun_path(#challenge, pun.id) %></span>
<% end %>
<% end %>
It is the like_challenge_pun_path that throws an error but I cannot understand why. I am declaring #challenge again here, so it should be able to get the id.
Here is the form for the puns:
<%= form_for([#challenge, #challenge.puns.build]) do |f| %>
<span class=".emoji-picker-container">
<%= f.text_area :pun_text, placeholder: "Add pun", data: { emojiable: true } %>
</span>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
Also, here is my routes setup
resources :challenges do
resources :puns do
member do
put "like", to: "puns#upvote"
put "dislike", to: "puns#downvote"
end
end
end
and the corresponding action to upvote
def upvote
#pun = #challenge.puns.find(params[:id])
#pun.upvote_by current_user
redirect_to #challenge
end
Can anyone help?
I think the code is for the puns collection.
I assume the issue is that in the form you have something like:
#challenge.puns.build
So in #challenge.puns collection appears not persisted record (without id), so path for this model cannot be generated.
As a quick solution I suggest:
<%= render #challenge.puns.reverse.select(&:persisted?) %>
UPDATE:
As I assumed you have
<%= form_for([#challenge, #challenge.puns.build]) do |f| %>
You can also try:
<%= form_for([#challenge, Pun.new]) do |f| %>
Or solve it in the controller. But need to see controller code for it.
I'm a real newbie at Ruby and Rails, and I've been looking for the solution for two days. I need to submit data from form_tag to action 'create' in my controller to add new entries to database, but looks like I'm doing something terribly wrong, because absolutely nothing happens, and it seems that form_tag doesn't even redirect to needed action.
Here's the page code:
<h1>Todos</h1>
<% #projects.each do |project| %>
<tr>
<h2><%= project.title %></h2>
<% project.todos.each do |todo| %>
<ul style="list-style-type:disc">
<li><%= todo.text %></li>
</ul>
<% end %>
</tr>
<% end %>
<%= form_tag({controller: "mega", action: "create"}, method: "get", remote: true) do %>
<h2>New todo</h2>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag 'text' %>
</p>
<p>
<%= select_tag 'title', options_from_collection_for_select(#projects, 'id', 'title') %>
</p>
<p>
<%= link_to 'CANCEL' %>
<%= link_to 'OK', "", :onclick => "$('#form_id').submit()" %>
</p>
<% end %>
And the controller:
class MegaController < ApplicationController
def index
#projects = Project.all
#todos = Todo.all
end
def update
end
def create
#newTodo = Todo.create(text: params[:text])
#newProject = Project.find_by(title: params[:title])
#newProject.todos << #todo
#newTodo.save
end
end
My routes file. I seriously don't know how it works:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'mega/index'
root 'mega#index'
get 'mega/update'
post 'mega/create'
resources :todos
resources :projects
end
You create resources with a POST request. Never GET.
GET requests should be idempotent - they should not update or alter resources on the server. One very important reason is that they are stored in the browser's history, so pressing the back button will cause unintended consequences for the user.
In Rails flavor MVC instead of tacking the action name on the path of the route you use the HTTP verb to create routes to the correct action:
GET /things things#index
POST /things things#create
I'm not going to attempt to salvage your code (it's deeply flawed) and instead show you how you would solve this the rails way as it is much simpler:
<%= form_for(Todo.new) do |f| %>
<h2>New todo</h2>
<%= f.text_field :text %>
<%= f.collection_select(:project_id, #projects, :id, :title, prompt: true) %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
This would submit to todos#create - if you want to route it to an unconventional action you can use the url option:
<%= form_for(Todo.new, url: polymorphic_path(controller: 'foo', action: 'bar')) do |f| %>
It's best to learn the rules before you break them.
I have a Product (imovel) controller where the users can create his own Products (imovels). I am using devise for the authentication and the CRUD (create, Update, Delete) needs login. So for the clients be able to see the products and doesn't need a user, I created the Welcome controller where so it is the root.
In the Index of the Products I use Ransack to do the research in the table and works just fine. (very happy about it).
On the welcome controller I try to do the same thing, but when I submit the search the page gets redirect to the imovels#index.
Controller:
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
def index
#q = Imovel.ransack(params[:q])
#imovel = #q.result(distinct: true)
end
end
View:
<div class="container text-center">
<%= search_form_for #q do |f| %>
# Search if the name field contains...
<%= f.label :descricao_cont %>
<%= f.search_field :descricao_cont %>
<%= f.submit "Pesquisar", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
Another thing that can be important in the index (imovels#index) there is a for in a tr and the information is filtered there:
Imovels Index
<tbody>
<% #imovels.each do |imovel| %>
<tr>
<td><%= imovel.id %></td>
<td><%= imovel.descricao %></td>
<% end %>
And in the welcome controller where I need the search, I used Divs:
Welcome Index
<% #imovels.each do |imovel| %>
<div class="card">
<div class="containerImovel">
<h4><b><%= imovel.descricao %></b></h4>
<p><%= imovel.cidade %> - <%= imovel.bairro.nome %> </p>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
How can I do the search on the divs of welcome controller? Ransack is the better option for it? It is possible to search in the has_many :through association?
Add a path for it in your routes.rb
resources :imovel do
collection do
match 'search' => 'welcome#search', via: [:get, :post], as: :search
end
end
and then add a new controller action to WelcomeController
def search
index
render :index
end
and afterwards modify the search form like so
<%= search_form_for #q, url: search_imovel_path, html: { method: :post } do |f| %>
Be sure to recheck the naming/variables as I'm not completely familiar with your app
I am building a Project management with the following associations:
Project
- Section
- Milestone
- Issue
Inside app/views/section/show.html.erb - I want to have the entire section's milestones and its related issues. For each milestone I want to have a different form to create a new associated issue.
This is how the view file looks like:
<%= #section.title %>
<% #milestones.each do |milestone| %>
<div id="milestone">
<%= milestone.info %>
</div>
<% milestone.issues.each do |issue| %>
<div id="issue">
<p><%= issue.content %></p>
</div>
<% end %>
At the end of each milestone I have the following form to add a new issue:
<%= form_for([#project, milestone.issues.build], :url => project_section_milestone_issue_path ) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.text_field :content %>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
This is my routes.rb:
resources :projects do
resources :sections do
resources :milestones do
resources :issues
end
end
end
The form doesn't work, the page (view file) itself doesn't load and errors with wrong path url. I'm guessing something is wrong either with the routes or with the assignment within the form_for method.
The problem was with the form_for statement.
With #Zippie's hint, I changed it to: <%= form_for([#project, #section, milestone, milestone.issues.build] ) do |f| %> and it fixed the problem.
