I have a controller with new, create, and edit actions, amongst others as shown below.
Right now, I have 3 buttons in my form, one to start a new project (new), another button to save it (create) and a 3rd button to edit the project after it is created (edit).
I'd like to create a single button that would combine the execution of all 3 actions in sequence : new, then create, then edit.
Is that possible?
# GET /projects/new
# GET /projects/new.json
def new
#project = Project.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #project }
end
end
# GET /projects/1/edit
def edit
#project = Project.find(params[:id])
end
# POST /projects
# POST /projects.json
def create
#project = Project.new(params[:project])
respond_to do |format|
if #project.save
format.html { redirect_to #project, :notice => 'Project was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :json => #project, :status => :created, :location => #project }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.json { render :json => #project.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def create
#project = Project.new(params[:project])
respond_to do |format|
if #project.save
format.html { redirect_to edit_project_path(#project), :notice => 'Project was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :json => #project, :status => :created, :location => #project }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.json { render :json => #project.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

I am relatively new to Rails and have recently managed to break the links to the contents of one of my models...
Having previously posted a question here on stackoverflow, I adjusted the to_param function in my model, such that the product name would be appended to the product ID.
The changes I made were:
In products.rb,
def to_param
"#{id}-#{product_name.parameterize}"
end
In routes.rb,
match '/:id' => 'uniquewetsuits#show'
This successfully creates the address I am hoping for /products/ID-product-name, however, I get an error stating there is no product with ID=ID-product-name.
If I navigate to /products/ID, I can successfully view the page as normal.
Can anybody inform me as to how I go about reconnecting things so that I do get a match for the longer ID string?
Thanks for your time
EDIT
The contents of the controller are:
def index
##search = Uniquewetsuit.search(params[:q])
##findwetsuits = #search.result(:distinct => true)
#if #findwetsuits.count > 0
# #uniquewetsuits = #findwetsuits.all
#else
#uniquewetsuits = Uniquewetsuit.all
#end
respond_to do |format|

format.xml { render :xml => #uniquewetsuits }
end
end

#uniquewetsuit = Uniquewetsuit.find(params[:id])

I have 2 controllers: Projects and Users. Both models have no relation at all.
When I create a new Project I want to redirect to the new User path after saving the new project, but all my tries give erros like missing template or stuff like that.
How can I get this working?
EDITED
My create method in Projects controller:
def create
#project = Project.new(params[:project])
respond_to do |format|
if #project.save
format.html { render (new_user_registration_path) }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #project.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
You don't want to render new_user_registration_path, you want to redirect_to new_user_registration_path
you must use redirect_to instead render:
redirect_to new_user_registration_path
respond_to do |format|
if #project.save
format.html { redirect_to new_user_registration_path }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #project.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
Having gone through my code I have a separate problem from my original question and rather than writing a new question. I will leave the old part at the bottom of this and post the new problem here. I do this because they are closely related.
New:
Im getting an error message saying
Unknown action
The action 'response' could not be found for CrawlerController
I'll keep it simple but the code for model, controller and routes are below in the previous question.
A basic run down is response is a def within CrawlerController as is add_Request.
The routes are matched as such:
match "/requests/new" => "crawler#add_Request"
match 'requests/:id' => 'crawler#response'
Here is controller code as per user request:
class CrawlerController < ApplicationController
def add_Request
#request = Request.new(params[:request])
respond_to do |format|
if #request.save
format.html { redirect_to(#request, :notice => 'Request was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => #request, :status => :created, :location => #request }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #request.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def response
#request = Request.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js { render :json => #request }
end
end
def show
#request = Request.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #request }
format.json{
render :json => #request.to_json
}
end
end
end
please recheck code of controller as I can see it
class CrawlerController < ApplicationController
def add_Request
#request = Request.new(params[:request])
respond_to do |format|
if #request.save
format.html { redirect_to(#request, :notice => 'Request was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => #request, :status => :created, :location => #request }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #request.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
def response
#request = Request.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.json {render :#request.to_json}
end
end
so one end is missing an your response action is defined inside add_Request
I have a Rails app that has a bunch of pages, each page has many convos. On each page there's a link to create a new convo on that page. This is the code for that link:
<%= link_to 'New Convo', new_convo_path(:page=>#page) %>
However, on the next page, "convo/new" the page property is empty. What am I missing?
EDIT here are my new and create functions for convos
def new
#convo = Convo.new(params[:page])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #convo }
end
end
# POST /convos
# POST /convos.xml
def create
#convo = Convo.new(params[:convo])
respond_to do |format|
if #convo.save
format.html { redirect_to(#convo, :notice => 'Convo was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => #convo, :status => :created, :location => #convo }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #convo.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
You need to load the page ... try to set a before filter ...
before_filter :find_page
private
def find_page
#page = Page.find(params[:page_id])
end
Then you build using nested resources
def new
#convo = #page.convos.build
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #convo }
end
end
def create
#convo = #page.convos.build(params[:convo])
.....
end
My guess is that you are missing a ":page=>"
def new
#convo = Convo.new(:page=>params[:page])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #convo }
end
end
I'm green behind the ears, but had a basic question about modifying the scaffolding's :notice to add a variable. For example, rails created the following create method for me:
def create
#order = Order.new(params[:order])
respond_to do |format|
if #order.save
format.html { redirect_to(#order, :notice => 'Order was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => #order, :status => :created, :location => #order }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #order.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
What I'm looking to do is add a variable to :notice so that it would print specifically what order was created (or edited with the update method). I tried some basic things using such as passing <%= order.id %>,though I felt this seemed unnatural within the controller?
Is adding a dynamic value possible within this format of this scaffolding? Or is it against the convention.
I appreciate the help, sorry if this is very newbish.
Beestings are the preferred way to insert dynamic values into strings in ruby. So if you wanted #order.id in your :notice, you could do this:
def create
#order = Order.new(params[:order])
respond_to do |format|
if #order.save
format.html { redirect_to(#order, :notice => "Order id # #{#order.id} was successfully created.") }
format.xml { render :xml => #order, :status => :created, :location => #order }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #order.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
