Hey I am trying to render a partial using ajax everything work in rails normal form but when I am rendering a partial using ajax local variables don't work I am trying to create a like and dislike system for that I have created a model called FeedLike here I can like and dislike using simple create and destroy but when I am using ajax and there I am calling this action below :
$('#feed_like').html("<%= j render :partial => 'shared/dislike', :locals => { feed: #feed= #feed} %>");
I am getting the error No route matches
{:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"feed_likes", :feed_id=>nil, :user_id=>1}
And my dislike link is like this it is a partial which is under :
<div id="feed_dislike">
<%= link_to "Dislike",{ :action => 'destroy', :controller => 'feed_likes', :feed_id => #feed, :user_id => current_user.id }, class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
everything work fine when I am not using ajax but when I am rendering partial why #feed is not getting any value what am I supposed to do . To get the value of feed.id . feed.id is coming from and model called Feed and it is under look and there I am rendering these two forms using partials .
now I am pasting some codes which will give you what I am doing :
#shared/_feed.html.erb
<% if #feed_items.try(:any?) %>
<ol class="microposts">
<%= render #feed_items %>
</ol>
<%= will_paginate #feed_items %>
<% end %>
And #feed_items is coming from :
#feeds/_feed.html.erb
<li id="feed-<%= feed.id %>">
<%= image_tag(current_user.avatar.url(:thumb), :size => '50x50') %>
<span class="user"><%= link_to feed.user.name, feed.user %></span>
<span class="content"><%= feed.content %></span>
<span class="timestamp">
Posted <%= time_ago_in_words(feed.created_at) %> ago.
</span>
<% #like =FeedLike.where(:user_id => "#{current_user.id}", :feed_id => "#{feed.id}")
%>
<%= render :partial => 'shared/feed_like', locals: { feed: #feed= feed.id} %>
</li>
And now feed_like partial :
#shared/_feed_like.html.erb
<% if #like.count == 0 %>
<%= render :partial => 'shared/like', locals: { feed1: #feed= #feed} %>
<% else %>
<%= render :partial => 'shared/dislike', locals: { feed: #feed} %>
<% end %>

class FeedsController < ApplicationController

# :from => :feeds,
# :left_join => '"feed_likes"',
# :on => '"feeds".id = "feed_likes"."feed".id',
# :limit => 5
# )
# #like =Feed.find_by_sql "
# SELECT id
# FROM feed_likes
# WHERE user_id = #{current_user.id}
# AND feed_id =#{feed.id}
# LIMIT 0 , 30
# "
end
end
def help
end
def about
end
def contact
end
end
your feed is nil which is why it is crashing
please add this in your feed_likes controller.
before_action :get_feed ,only: [:create, :destroy]
and at the bottom add this method
def get_feed
#feed= Feed.find(params[:feed_id])
end
Your feed definition looks wrong in your javascript file. Try this instead:
$('#feed_like').html("<%= j render :partial => 'shared/dislike', :locals => { feed: #feed} %>");

I'll be watching for your help, thanks.
You can use to_sym method on hash or string so in your code you can do something like this:
index.html
instead this:
<%= raw #page.content_for(Refinery::Pages.default_parts.first.to_sym) if Refinery::Pages.default_parts.any? %>
put this:
<%= raw #page.content_for(Refinery::Pages.default_parts.first[:title].to_sym) if Refinery::Pages.default_parts.any? %>
instead [:title]you can also use [:slug]
I tried to use Ajax request for creating a new object and this had been working very well. In my view file I used to set remote: true option for link_to and everything was fine.
Now I want to render my _form partial once the view file is loaded without a link, but just using a <%= render 'form' %>.
I don't understand why I am getting this error. Who can enlighten me what am I doing wrong?

Any help?
First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty
You are rendering form in index page and you didn't set #task in index method.
You should set #task in index method
def index
#tasks = current_user.tasks
#task = Task.new

I want to creat a classified ads website for a project in school and I try to create a form to send a message by email at a member of the website. The email adress is contained in a model which is name "Membre" and this model is link at a model who is name "Annonce" which contained the ad.
But when I try to create that, I have this error :

This is routing error, you should call the create method of FormContactsController, not AnnoncesController create method.
<%= form_for(:form_contact, :url => {:controller => "FormContactsController", :action => :create}) do |f| %>
If you take a look at the project here: http://www.leapfm.com/ you can scroll down and click More on the front page and it works. However, if you try doing that in New Songs tab it stays at 'Page is loading...'. I'm not quite sure why this is.

you are placing js code for 2 actions in the same file.
you have index action and new_songs action in songs_controller.rb, and you put your js in index.js.erb:
$("#songs").html("<%= escape_javascript(render("songs")) %>");
$("#new_songs").html("<%= escape_javascript(render("new_songs")) %>");
move the second line in a file called new_songs.js.erb and you are done.

With the exception of the old_messages method in the model, all of the commented code were recommended changes from the previous post to make this work. But as soon as I uncomment the last three lines from create.rjs and #old_messages = Message.old_messages from the controller, I can't even submit messages with the message_form partial. Can anyone see what's wrong here? I'm just trying to create a basic app to help further my understanding of rails and rjs. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or corrections you have to share, thank you for reading my post.
it's not what you're asking for, but i have a suggestion...
to get the older messages you can use named_scope.
in your case, (if i understood what you want) i think it would be something like:
# model
named_scope :limit, lambda { |num| { :limit => num } }
named_scope :order, lambda { |ord| { :order => ord } }
and
#controller
Message.order("updated_at DESC").limit(24)
the problem is that old_messages is an instance method, and you're calling from a class.
if you do
def self.old_messages
# ...
end
it's now a class method.
this blog has a good explanation about class and instance methods.
