Form goes blank after submitting - ruby-on-rails

I don't know what happened but my question form stopped working and now goes blank after submitting.
Here is the form view:
<%= simple_form_for [#comment, Question.new] do |f| %>
<p>
<div class="form">
<%= f.input :title, as: :text, input_html: { rows: "1" } %>
<%= f.input :body, as: :text, input_html: { rows: "10" } %>
<p><%= f.submit "Answer", class: "btn btn-primary" %></p>
</div>
<% end %>
The questions model:
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :body, presence: true
validates :title, presence: true
validates :user_id, presence: true
belongs_to :user
acts_as_votable
belongs_to :comment
has_many :pictures
end
and the controller:
def create
#comment = Comment.find(params[:comment_id])
#question = #comment.questions.create(question_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #question.save
format.html { redirect_to comment_questions_path, notice: 'Question was successfully created.' }
format.json { render action: 'show', status: :created, location: comment_questions_path }
else
format.html { render action: 'new' }
format.json { render json: #question.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

The main problem was in routing: you can't redirect_to #question for nested resources. Use
url_for([#comment, #question])

Rails creating a form on a show template with nested_attributes

I have a rails app with events and event_registrants, someone can essentially register for an event.
Here's my event model:
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :event_registrants, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :event_registrants, :reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:first_name].blank? }, :allow_destroy => true
Here's my event_registrant model:
class EventRegistrant < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :event
attr_accessible :comment, :company, :email, :first_name, :last_name, :phone, :event_id
validates_presence_of :company, :email, :first_name, :last_name, :phone
end
On the show template, I'd like to include a form to allow someone to register directly from there.
<%= form_for #event do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :event_registrants do |builder| %>
<%= render "registration_form", :f => builder %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit 'Send it', :class => "blue-btn", :id => "registrant_submit" %>
<% end %>
Partial:
<ul class="form" id="register_form">
<li><%= f.text_field :first_name, :placeholder => "First name *" %> <%= f.text_field :last_name, :placeholder => "Last name *" %></li>
<li><%= f.text_field :email, :placeholder => "Email address *", :class => 'wide' %></li>
<li><%= f.text_field :company, :placeholder => "Company name *", :class => 'wide' %></li>
<li><%= f.text_field :phone, :placeholder => "Phone number *", :maxlength => '14' %></li>
<li><%= f.text_area :comment, :placeholder => "Additional info", :class => 'wide', :rows => 4, :cols => 68 %></li>
</ul>
Finally my events controller'
def show
#event = Event.where(:event_hosting_type => "eureka_event").find_by_permalink(params[:id])
1.times {#event.event_registrants.build}
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: #event }
end
end
def update
#event = Event.find_by_permalink(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if #event.update_attributes(params[:event])
format.html { redirect_to #event, notice: "#{#event.title} updated." }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: #event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def create
#event = Event.new(params[:event])
#event_registrant = #event.build_event_registrant
respond_to do |format|
if #event.save
format.html { redirect_to #event, notice: 'New event created.'}
format.json { render json: #event, status: :created, location: #event }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The issue I'm having is that the current form will display but will only update the current record, having 1.times {#event.event_registrants.build} will add a new, empty form but the previous entry will be there. I'd like someone to submit their info, have the form reset and allow someone else to submit new info.
You can update your code to say
1.times {#event.event_registrants.build} if #event.event_registrants.empty?
Your form will properly show the value of event_registrants if it exists, or build it if not there.
However, if you're looking to dynamically add or remove form fields, you may find the cocoon gem an easy way to handle the javascript/ruby involved with that.

Rails - How to translate form_for collection_select to simple_form?

How can I translate the following form_for - collection_select to simple_form?
<%= collection_select(:service, :service_menu_id, #service_menus, :id, :name, prompt: true) %>
To...
<%= f.input ...
Update requested:
<div class="col-xs-4">
<%= simple_form_for #service do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<!--Working - selected value saves to db-->
<%= collection_select(:service, :service_menu_id, ServiceMenu.all, :id, :name, {:prompt => true }) %>
<!--Selected value does not save to db-->
<%#= f.input :service_menu, :collection => #service_menus, label_method: :name, value_method: :id, :include_blank => false, prompt: "Select a main service" %>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :styles do |task| %>
<%= render 'style_fields', :f => task %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="links">
<%= link_to_add_association 'Add New Style', f, :styles, class: 'btn btn-success' %>
</div><br>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit :class => 'btn btn-primary'%>
</div>
<% end %>
controller
class ServicesController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_service, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def index
#services = current_tech.services
end
def show
end
def new
#service = current_tech.services.build
#service_menus = ServiceMenu.all
end
def create
#service = current_tech.services.build(service_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #service.save
format.html { redirect_to #service, notice: 'Service was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #service }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #service.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def edit
#service_menus = ServiceMenu.all
end
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #service.update(service_params)
format.html { redirect_to #service, notice: 'Service was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #service }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #service.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def destroy
#service.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to services_url, notice: 'Service was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_service
#service = Service.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def service_params
params.require(:service).permit(:name, :service_menu_id, styles_attributes: [:id, :tech_id, :name, :hours, :minutes, :price, :details, :_destroy])
end
end
If you can wrap it as form object (i.e., f.collection_select) then this will work
<%= f.input :service_menu, :collection => #service_menus, :label_method => :name, :value_method => :id, :selected => #service.service_menu_id :include_blank => true %>

Rails 4 - Nested Routes and Form Parameters

When I'm trying to create a new "participation" in my Rails4 application and it seems like there is something wrong with my parameters. Actually this is not causing any problems in application (or I didn't notice it) but still I would like to fix it. You can see 2 "examination_id" parameters one of them is null and the other one is equal to 1.

<%= f.button :submit, "Sınava Başvur" %>
<% end %>
sa
When you're using
<%= simple_form_for([#examination, #participation], html:{class: "well"}) do |f| %>
to generate the form, it will set the action to be /examinations/[examination_id]/participations so the routes/action will know the examination_id from the url itself.
So, you don't need to pass examination_id separately as hidden field that you're setting as
<%= f.input :examination_id, as: :hidden %>
Once you remove this hidden field the request parameters will look like:
{"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"XZ71eV0zxrnTBilzvEtLlHLwoAb+qKdDfxOHjrAHUPg=",
"participation"=>
{
"language_preference"=>"Türkçe",
"exam_center_preference"=>"1",
"disability"=>"1",
"user_id"=>"1"
},
"commit"=>"Sınava Başvur",
"examination_id"=>"1"
}

format.json { render json: #investopp }
end
end
end
Instead of using <%= link_to 'Search', investopps_browsedisplay_path %> you should use <%= f.submit %> and specify the action correctly. So your form view will look like this:
<h1>Add New Investment Opportunity</h1>
<%= form_for Investopp.new, :action => investopps_browsedisplay_path do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :state_id %><br/>
<%= f.collection_select :state_id, Investopp.year_lookup(#state_ids), :label, :value, include_blank: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :city_id, "city" %><br />
<%= f.grouped_collection_select :city_id, Investopp.year_lookup(#state_ids), :cities, :value, :id,:name, include_blank: true %>
</div>
<%= link_to 'Back', investopps_path %>
<%= f.submit 'Search' %>
<% end %>
Then you'll also need a controller method handling things as the investopps_browsedisplay_path route, which I don't see in your code anywhere. This, of course, is not a RESTful way to handle this, and there's a needed caveat that your architecture will probably confuse the problem, but so far as sending the form data, the correct way to do it is with a form submit, not a link_to, which solves the basic problem at hand.

My guess is that #user has no friends, so there's nothing to render.
If this is creating a new user and you want them to be able to fill in their friends as well, do a #user.friends.build somewhere, which will add an empty friend to them, and should allow the nested fields to render.
I've found this answer several times on the net. I'm using ruby-2.2.0 with rails 4.2.0. I'd like to know if this has changed, or if it's something specific to me.
I had to use. #user.build_friends
