Problem implementing edit/update functionality for model - ruby-on-rails

When I try to edit an instance of my Job model, the attributes I'm trying to update are set to Nil.
I've tried using the regular form_for helper instead of simple_form because I didn't know if simple_form required extra info such as what action and method to use, but it didn't work.
edit.html.erb
<h1>Edit Job:</h1>
<br>
<%= simple_form_for #job do |f| %>
<%= f.input :title, label: "Job title" %>
<%= f.input :description, label: "Description" %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
jobs_controller.rb
def edit
#job = Job.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#job = Job.find(params[:id])
#job.update(title: params[:title], description: params[:description])
if #job.save
redirect_to jobs_path(#job)
else
render "edit"
end
end
routes.rb
resources :candidates
resources :tenants, constraints: { subdomain: 'www' }, except: :index
resources :jobs, path_names: { new: 'add' }
get 'candidates/index'
get 'candidates/new/:id' => 'candidates#new', :as => 'apply'
get 'candidates/single/:id' => 'candidates#single', :as => 'view_candidate'
get 'jobs/single/:id' => 'jobs#single', :as => 'single_job'
get 'add-job' => 'jobs#new'
get 'listings' => 'jobs#listings', :as => 'career_page'
get 'listing/:id' => 'jobs#listing', :as => 'view_job'
get 'welcome/index', constraints: { subdomain: 'www' }
get 'dashboard' => 'tenants#dashboard', as: 'dashboard'
constraints SubdomainConstraint do
devise_for :users, path_names: { edit: 'account' }
root 'tenants#dashboard'
end
root 'welcome#index'
No error, but attributes are Nil, and URL is displayed instead of #job.title in the index view (because its Nil)

I believe the form data are wrapped into key :job in params so attributes for Job need to be whitelisted
def update
#job = Job.find(params[:id])
#job.update(job_params)
if #job.save
redirect_to jobs_path(#job)
else
render "edit"
end
end
Private
def job_params
params.require(:job).permit(:title, :description)
end

Show Rails Contact Form on main page

I've created a contact form in Rails 4 with this example.
But I want to display this contact form on the main/show page of my application. How can I do this?
routes.rb.
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :projects
resources :contacts, only: [:new, :create]
get 'welcome/index'
root 'welcome#index'
end
contacts_controller.rb
class ContactsController < ApplicationController
def new
#contact = Contact.new
end
def create
#contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
#contact.request = request
if #contact.deliver
flash.now[:error] = nil
else
flash.now[:error] = 'Cannot send message.'
render :new
end
end
end
Thanks.
And easy and clean way would be to create a partial
_contact_form.html.erb (Partials always starts with an underscore)
.container
%h1 Contact
= simple_form_for #contact, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f|
= f.input :name, :required => true
= f.input :email, :required => true
= f.input :message, :as => :text, :required => false, :input_html => {:rows => 10}
.hidden
= f.input :nickname, :hint => 'Leave this field blank!'
.form-actions
= f.button :submit, 'Send message', :class=> "btn btn-primary"
Then, in your index page:
<%= render "contacts/contact_form" %>
and in your controller index action( I don't know if 'welcome/index' is on project's controller or contacts controller)
def index
#your code
#contact = Contact.new
end
Finally, you seem quite new to rails, I'd like to recommend a free Ruby on Rails Tutorial

Missing required key :id on new photo form

I have Photo model which belongs to User model. Rails returns this error whenever I try to access new view for /users/4/photos/new:
No route matches {:action=>"index", :controller=>"photos", :user_id=>"4"} missing required keys: [:id]
This is my PhotosController:
class PhotosController < ApplicationController
def index
find_user
#photos = #user.photos
end
def new
find_user
#photo = #user.photos.build
end
def show
find_photo
end
def create
#photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])
if #photo.save
if params[:images]
params[:images].each { |image|
#user.photos.create(image: image)
}
end
else
render 'new'
end
end
def update
find_user
#photo = #user.photos.find(params[:id])
if #photo.update
redirect_to photos_path
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
find_photo
#photo.destroy
redirect_to photos_path
end
private
def find_user
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
end
def find_photo
#photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
end
def photo_params
require(:photo).permit(:title, :image, :user_id)
end
end
And this is my _form partial for photos views.
<%= form_for #photo, :html => { class: 'form-horizontal', multipart: true } do |f| %>
<%= f.label :title %>
<%= f.text_field :title, class: "input-field form-control" %>
<%= f.label :pictures %>
<%= file_field_tag "images[]", type: :file, multiplue: true %>
<%= f.submit nil, class: "btn btn-primary" %>
I don't understand how ID is missing, I'm providing it via find_user method.
Update:
# routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'welcome#index'
# prevedene rute
get "/pocetna" => "welcome#index", as: "index"
get "/o-sajtu" => "welcome#about", as: "about"

post "/login" => "sessions#create"
get "/logout" => "sessions#destroy", as: "logout"
delete "/logout" => "sessions#destroy"
resources :users do
resources :photos
end
end
Update
I get new error now
undefined method `photos_path' for #<<Class:0x007f4f14f16160>:0x00000004f040e8>
First line of the form is marked.
change your form_for in _form partial to
form_for([#user, #photo]) do |f|
#rest of your code
end
How do you call the /users/4/photos/new in your view? Ideally you should pass the user_id as id not as user_id. Once, you do that this issue should be resolved.

First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty (acts_as_commentable error)

So I'm trying to get the acts_as_commentable_with_threading gem working in my app. I would like to allow the users to comment on specific events (events/show.html). I don't think I've set it up properly as I'm getting the below error.

Is #comment defined in the "show" action in your Events controller? Can you post the Events controller code as well?
One thing to double check is to ensure that the action that renders the view for show.html.erb has the #comment variable defined. You seem to be getting the message because the #comment variable in
<%= form_for #comment do |f| %>
Is currently nil when you render the view.
In the "show" action for the events controller, try setting the #comment variable by adding:
#comment = #event.comments.new
Edit 2: Make sure you've setup your routes.rb file to handle comments on events, so assuming youre using RESTful routes, something like this below in your routes.rb. If you could post the routes file that would be helpful too.
resources :events do
resources :comments
end
The error is on app/views/events/show.html.erb which means that your Events controller's show action is missing the #comment variable
def show
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
#comment = ....what ever you need to pull in the comments....

rails 3.2 delete object url order

When I call the delete action on my on my index.html.erb page for images, it references the correct id's and such, but it does not order them in the url correctly. The url should look like http://localhost:3000/admin/albums/33/images/1, but it displays as http://localhost:3000/admin/albums/33/images.1. I know it has something to do with the .:format, but I'm not sure how to fix it. When I put this in the delete action, admin_album_images_path([#album, image]), it results in http://localhost:3000/admin/albums/33/1/images.

<%= button_to "Delete", admin_album_images_path(#album, image), :method => :delete, :style => "display: block; float: left;" %>
<%= debug #image %>
<% end %>
you should use
admin_album_image_path(#album, image)
note that both are singular. you can also change that to [:admin, #album, image] so you don't have to worry about the name of the route
An additional parameter will by default become the format so
admin_album_image_path(#album, image, :csv)
will be converted to
/admin/albums/1/images/1.csv

Nested Set Error undefined method `self_and_descendants' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x52c4a30>

I am using the Nested_Set gem in my code to sort Categories, Subcategories, and Products. I am trying to limit the depth/level of my nested set to no deeper then 2. Currently I am getting the error
Nested Set Error undefined method `self_and_descendants' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x52c4a30>

It looks like nested_set is looking for an Array not just an array-like collection - see line 32 of the source: https://github.com/skyeagle/nested_set/blob/21a009aec86911f5581147dd22de3c5d086355bb/lib/nested_set/helper.rb#L32
...hence it's getting that ActiveRecord::Relation, wrapping it in an [array] (line 35) and then trying to iterate and blowing up.
Easy fix: call to_a on the collection first - in your controller:
#category_2_deep = Category.with_depth_below(2).to_a
Better fix: submit a patch to the maintainer that's a bit more Ruby-like and looks for it to behave like an Array, but not necessarily be one.
