You are doing several things the wrong way.
First: I don't think you need two separate resources for the same model. I'd recomend nesting all three resources upon each other like this.
resource :categories do
resource :posts do
resource :responces
end
end
This way you'll be able to find the needed category_id and post_id in the params hash.
I'd also recomend adding :shalow => true to the :categories resource to make your routes a bit prettier.
Second: you need to assign the params[:post_id] in your create action, like this.
#responce = current_user.responces.build(responce_params)
#responce.post_id = params[:post_id]
#post = #responce.post
Alternatevely you can just add a hidden field to your form like I show below, but it I don't like that approach, 'cause it can lead to security risks.
<%= form_for([#post, #responce]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :price %>
<%= f.hidden_field :post_id, :value => #post.id %>
<%= f.submit "GO", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>

In your form you aren't passing in the post_id. You probably want something like this:
<%= form_for([#post, #responce]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :price %>
<%= f.hidden_field :post_id, :value => #post.id %>
<%= f.submit "GO", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
The hidden field will pass the id of the current post into your form as the post_id parameter.

link_to for nested resources is redirecting incorrectly

I have a simple blog app that has articles. Each article has comments. I'm trying to build nested comments using the closure_tree gem. I've been loosely following this sitepoint tutorial.
I have the following code:
models/article.rb
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comments
end
models/comment.rb
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_tree order: 'created_at DESC'
end
routes.rb
resources :articles do
resources :comments
get 'comments/new/(:parent_id)', to: 'comments#new', as: :new_comment
end
views/articles/show.html.erb
<h1><%= #article.title %></h1><br>
<h3><%= #article.body %></h3>
Comments:
<% #article.comments.each do |comment| %>
Title: <%= comment.title %>, Body: <%= comment.body %>, User: <%= comment.user_id %>
<%= link_to 'reply', article_new_comment_path(parent_id: comment.id, article_id: #article.id) %>
<% end %>
</ul>
<!-- FORM FOR NEW COMMENT -->
<%= form_for ([#article, #article.comments.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :parent_id %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
views/comments/new.html.erb
<%= render "form" %>
views/comments/_form/html.erb
<%= form_for ([#comment.article_id, #article]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
controllers/comments_controller.rb
[...]
def new
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
#comment = Comment.new(parent_id: params[:parent_id])
end
def create
# binding.pry
if params[:comment][:parent_id].to_i > 0
parent = Comment.find_by_id(params[:comment].delete(:parent_id))
#comment = parent.children.build(comment_params)
else
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
#comment = #article.comments.create(comment_params)
[...]
end
When I click the link_to in articles/show.html.erb in order to reply to an existing comment, I hit the new action as expected and pass the comment's parent_id and article_id also as expected into params.
The problem arises when I leave the new action. I expect to hit the form partial and then go into the create action for a comment. Instead I'm somehow hitting the update action for an Article, even though I don't even have one in my ArticlesController. I'm quite a Rails noob and I think I'm messing up in my nested routes. Any help would be much appreciated.
I try to create an action 'subcomment' or 'child' in the controller. Something like this 'post article/:id/comments/:id/child'.
resources :articles do
resources :comments do
post :child
end
end
In action child something like this.
def child
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id]
#comment = #article.comments.find(params[:comment_id])
#child_comment = #comment.children.build(comment_params)
redirect_to article_path(#article)
end
The view is other problem. Iterate over then articles.comments and comments.children and create a form with the url child_article_comment_path(#article, #comment).

In rails, how to create forms for routes which are members of a resource?

I want to create a form for "Comments" route which is a member of Article Resources:
resources :articles do
member do
post 'comments'
end
end
I want the comment form to be in Articles#Show page. The problem i got an error:
First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty
If the for is like this:
<div>
<%= form_for #comm do |c| %>
<%= c.label :Your_comment %>
<%= c.text_area :commBody %>
<%= c.submit 'submit' %>
<% end %>
</div>
So how to do it ?
If this is your controller,
def show
#article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
and you want to create a form for a new Comment related to #article that points to POST /articles/3/comments:
<%= form_for([#article, Comment.new], as: :article, url: comments_article_path(#article)) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :body %>
<%= f.text_area :body %>
<%= f.submit 'Submit' %>
<% end %>
Don't forget to add accepts_nested_attributes_for :comments in the Article model. And also don't forget to setup the whitelisted params in the ArticleController.
Another thing: don't use abbreviations for your variable names. Use #article and #comment, not #art and #comm.
#config/routes.rb
resources :articles do
post :comment, on: :member #-> url.com/articles/:id/comment
end
#app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def show
#article = Article.find params[:id]
#comment = #article.comments.new
end
end
#app/views/articles/show.html.erb
Comment:
<%= form_for [#article, #comment], url: article_comment_path(#article) do |c| %>
<%= c.label "Your Comment" %>
<%= c.text_area :commBody %>
<%= c.submit %>
<% end %>

Form inside a loop how to do it the Rails way?

Hi I have a working "blog module" on my page.
From the start. My routes looks like this:
root 'static_pages#home'
resources :announcements, only: [:new,:create,:update,:edit,:destroy,:show] do
resources :comments, only: [:create, :destroy]
end
My controller actions looks like this:
static_pages_controllers.rb
def home
#announcements = Announcement.page(params[:page]).order('id DESC')
end
announcements_controller.rb
def new
#announcement = Announcement.new
end
def create
#announcement = Announcement.new(announcement_params)
if #announcement.save
flash[:success] = "Post został pomyślnie dodany"
redirect_to root_path
else
render 'new'
end
end
comments_controller.rb
def create
#announcement = Announcement.find(params[:announcement_id])
#comment = #announcement.comments.new(comments_params)
if #comment.save
flash[:success] = "Komentarz dodano"
redirect_to root_path }
else
render 'staticpages#home'
end
end
Part of the home.html.erb which lists all anouncements and under each of them it adds a form to add a comment:
<% #announcements.each do |announcement| %>
.... some code ....
<% if current_user && user_signed_in? %>
<div class="create_comment" >
<%= render partial: 'shared/create_comments_form', locals: {announcement: announcement } %>
</div>
<% end %>
... some code ...
<% end %>
And _create_comment.html.erb :
<%= form_for announcement.comments.create, url: announcement_comments_path(announcement.id) do |form| %>
<%= form.label :author, "#{current_user.username}:" %>
<%= form.hidden_field :author, value: current_user.username %>
<%= form.hidden_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %>
<%= form.text_field :content, class: "form-control content_length" %>
<div class="char_counter">255</div>
<%= form.submit "Dodaj!", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
My question is there a better way of writing this form, because It just doesn`t look rails for me when I have to specify everywhere all those parameters. Eg. when I send parameters to _create_comment I have to pass announcement object, and in form it self I have to specify the url as it looks for create_comment_path by default.
I think you wanted just to handle nested resources, and need a form to create such a nested resource.
Then this should work:
form_for( [announcement, announcement.comments.new] ) do |form|
Do not use create in the form template, as it actually saves it to the database, you end with lots of empty comments just because somebody viewed the form.
You can use cokoon gem for this. This gem will create Dynamic nested forms using jQuery.
Also I have one more suggestion. Rather then using only you can use except. Because you have used all 6 routes without index.
root 'static_pages#home'
resources :announcements, except: [:index] do
resources :comments, only: [:create, :destroy]
end
Update:
You can use like below:
Form:
<%= form_for :comments do |form| %>
<%= form.label :author, "#{current_user.username}:" %>
<%= form.hidden_field :author, value: current_user.username %>
<%= form.hidden_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %>
<%= form.text_field :content, class: "form-control content_length" %>
<div class="char_counter">255</div>
<%= form.submit "Dodaj!", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>

Two forms, two models, one view ROR

I'm trying to make two forms for two different models in the same view.
I have a model named category and a model named post.
Im trying to make a form for categories in the same view i have a form for posts.
The form for posts works fine, but when i'm trying to add the form for categories i get this error:
undefined method `model_name' for Category::ActiveRecord_Relation:Class
category.rb - model
has_many :posts
post.rb - model
has_many :categories
posts_controller
def index
#posts = new.Post
#categories = new.Category
end
def create
#posts = Post.create(post_params)
#posts.save
redirect_to :back
end
def create_cate
#categories = Categroy.create(categories_params)
#categroies.save
redirect_to :back
end
posts view - index.html.erb
<%= form_for(#posts) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.text_area :content %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
<%= form_for(#categories) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
routes.rb
resources :posts
resources :categories
root 'posts#index'
I have tried to search after if, but i can only find solutions for two models, one form.
Thanks in advance. :-)
Since you say its in the index action:
def index
#post = Post.new
#category = Category.new
end
In your view:
<%= form_for(#post) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.text_area :content %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
<%= form_for(#category) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

No route matches [POST] "/organizations/new"

In my rails app I got quite a few resources and have created a few forms already - but for some reason I don't seem to get one specific form for a new object to work. I am not sure if it is because I am using a three-way has_many :through relationship or because I am just overlooking something else
Here's how my routes looks like
resources :users, shallow: true do
resources :organizations, :notifications
end
resources :organizations, shallow: true do
resources :plans, :users, :notifications
end
My organizations_controller looks like this:
def index
#user = current_user
#organizations = #user.organizations.to_a
end
def show
#user = current_user
#organization = Organization.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#organization = Organization.new
end
def create
#user = current_user
#organization = Organization.new(organization_params)
#organization.save
redirect_to #organization
end
On my organizations index page I link to this:
<%= button_to 'New Organization', new_organization_path, :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
which should lead to my new.html.erb:
<%= form_for (#organization) do |f| %>
<%= render 'layouts/messages' %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :website %>
<%= f.text_area :website, class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<%= f.button :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
Every time I click on "new Organization" I get following error:
No route matches [POST] "/organizations/new"
Which is correct - I do not have a new_organizations_path that accepts POST requests. I know I can manually change the method of the form to GET but shouldn't it work the way I did it? I have another form that follows the same principle just for a different resource and it works perfectly.
Thanks for your help in advance!
button_to would always send a POST request unless something else is specified.
On the other form, you must be using link_to and not button_to which is why its working there.
You can change the button_to in two ways, pick the one that suits you:
Option 1: Use link_to
<%= link_to 'New Organization', new_organization_path, :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
Option 2: Use button_to with method: :get
<%= button_to 'New Organization', new_organization_path, method: :get, :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
