Change Simple_Form Submit Button Action? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've created the following SimpleForm for my Rails application. I want the submit button to take the data selected in each of the fields, and carry it over to the next screen. Does anyone know how I can change the property of the SimpleForm submit button? Right now it just seems to create something? I'm a little confused by what it's default action is.
<div class="infoheaders">1. Question
<%= simple_form_for #category do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_select(:title, Category.all, :title, :title) %>
<div class="grey-text-subheader">Device: (optional)</div>
<%= f.check_box :Apple %> <%= f.label "Apple" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPhone %> <%= f.label "iPhone" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPad %> <%= f.label "iPad" %>
<%= f.check_box :Mac %> <%= f.label "Mac" %>
<%= f.check_box :Android %> <%= f.label "Android" %><br><br>
<%= f.check_box :Samsung %> <%= f.label "Samsung" %>
<%= f.check_box :Microsoft %> <%= f.label "Microsoft" %>
<%= f.check_box :Windows %> <%= f.label "Windows" %>
<%= f.check_box :Google %> <%= f.label "Google" %>
<%= f.button :submit, 'Submit' %>
<% end %>
</div>

Answer 1

simple form for action can be changed to the action(use 'url' option), we want for example,
<div class="infoheaders">1. Question
<%= simple_form_for #category, :url => url_for(:action => 'your_action', :controller => 'your_controller'), :method => 'post' do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_select(:title, Category.all, :title, :title) %>
</div>
<div class="grey-text-subheader">Device: (optional)</div>
<%= f.check_box :Apple %> <%= f.label "Apple" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPhone %> <%= f.label "iPhone" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPad %> <%= f.label "iPad" %>
<%= f.check_box :Mac %> <%= f.label "Mac" %>
<%= f.check_box :Android %> <%= f.label "Android" %>
<br><br>
<%= f.check_box :Samsung %> <%= f.label "Samsung" %>
<%= f.check_box :Microsoft %> <%= f.label "Microsoft" %>
<%= f.check_box :Windows %> <%= f.label "Windows" %>
<%= f.check_box :Google %> <%= f.label "Google" %>
<%= f.button :submit, 'Submit' %>
<% end %>
</div>
In your controller, you will get the params that were send through the form,
class Yourcontroller
def your_action
// render text: params and return false
if params[:category][:ipad].present?
#checked = params[:category][:ipad]
end
if params[:category][:ipad].present?
#checked = params[:category][:android]
end
if params[:category][:ipad].present?
#checked = params[:category][:samsung]
end
/* check the params and assign to the variables */
// render text: params[:category] and return false
end
end
Now create a your_action.html.erb and you will get values there.
<div>
The checked valus is <%= #checked %>
</div>
Thats it.

Replace Your form with the following
<div class="infoheaders">1. Question
<%=form_for #category, :url=>"/register", do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_select(:title, Category.all, :title, :title) %>
<div class="grey-text-subheader">Device: (optional)</div>
<%= f.check_box :Apple %> <%= f.label "Apple" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPhone %> <%= f.label "iPhone" %>
<%= f.check_box :iPad %> <%= f.label "iPad" %>
<%= f.check_box :Mac %> <%= f.label "Mac" %>
<%= f.check_box :Android %> <%= f.label "Android" %><br><br>
<%= f.check_box :Samsung %> <%= f.label "Samsung" %>
<%= f.check_box :Microsoft %> <%= f.label "Microsoft" %>
<%= f.check_box :Windows %> <%= f.label "Windows" %>
<%= f.check_box :Google %> <%= f.label "Google" %>
<%= f.button :submit, 'Submit' %>
<% end %>
</div>
And in routes Add the following lines
get "/register"=> "controller#action"
