I know you are usually supposed to use the linking between new/create and edit/update in rails, but I have a case where I need something else. Is there anyway I can achieve this same connection?
I have a form for a model and I want it to post the data (similar to how a new view, post to the create action).
Here is my form
<div id="new-job">
<%= form_for(#job) do |f| %>
<% if #job.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#job.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this job from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #job.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :location %><br />
<%= f.text_field :location %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "create job", id: "submit-job", class: "button small radius" %>
<%= link_to "go back", jobs_path, class: "button small radius secondary" %>
<div id="new-job-errors"> </div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
Use the :url option.
= form_for #job, :url => company_path, :html => { :method => :post/:put }

I'm creating a simple form in rails and the submit button doesn't work. I think I'm missing something obvious here but the html seems to be fine (I'm far froma front end expert). Any advice or pointers?
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
<h2>Apply</h2>
<hr class="star-primary">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
<div class="row control-group">
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<div class="alert alert-error">
The form contains <%= pluralize(#user.errors.count, "error") %>.
</div>
<ul>
<% #user.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li>* <%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="col-xs-12 floating-label-form-group controls">
<%= form_for #user, url: users_path(#user), :html => {:method => :post} do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: "form-control", placeholder: 'Name' %>
<%= f.label :email%>
<%= f.text_field :email, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Email" %>
<%= f.label :address%>
<%= f.text_field :address, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Address" %>
<%= f.label :phone %>
<%= f.text_field :phone, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Phone Number" %>
<%= f.submit "Apply"%>
<%end%>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Also, when the submit button fails, nothing happens. No error messages, no console errors. Nothing.
Take method out from the html hash?
form_for #user, url: users_path(#user), :method => :post do |f|
Try this:
<%= form_for #user, :url => {:controller => "your-controller-name", :action => "your-action-name"} do |f| %>
Can you try this one:
<%= form_for #user, url: {action: "create"} do |f| %>
...
...
<%= f.submit "Apply" %>
<% end %>
But I strongly suggest you to use simple_form gem.
I have a form as follows:
<%= form_for(#car, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal' }) do |f| %>
<% if #car.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#car.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this car from being saved</h2>
<ul>
<% #car.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :price %><br />
<%= f.text_field :price %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :model_year %><br />
<% %>
<% end %>
</div>
I want to have a collection select for the model year starting 100 years back and going to a year in the future. I have tried
<%= f.select_year :model_year%>
but it says that select_year is not a valid method. Tried
<%= f.date :model_year, :discard_month => true %>
also to no avail. Any thoughts?
select_year is a helper that generates a full select tag with options. Since you're using form_for instead of form_tag, you'll want to use a helper that can be called on a form builder object.
<%= f.select :model_year, (Time.zone.now.year - 100)..(Time.zone.now.year + 1) %>
Reference: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-select_year
I'm trying to create a new map, and it's not working out so far:
undefined local variable or method `f' for #<#<Class:0x007ff46c0b12c0>:0x007ff46d777ba8>
I'm using Paperclip. The new page form:
<%= form_for #map, :url => maps_path, :html => { :multipart => true } do |form| %>
<% if #map.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#map.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this map from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #map.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :carname %><br />
<%= f.text_field :carname %>
</div>
<%= form.file_field :map %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :criticalcomponentlocations %><br />
<%= f.text_area :criticalcomponentlocations %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :warnings %><br />
<%= f.text_area :warnings %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :additionalinfo %><br />
<%= f.text_area :additionalinfo %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Since you pass form variable to the block passed to form_for method, you should substitute f with form.
I have a problem at the moment with my _form.html.erb for editing a game. My code for this class is as followed:
<%= form_for #game, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<% if #game.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#game.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this game from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #game.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<div id="p1"><%= f.label :game_name %> </div>
<%= f.text_field :game_name %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="field">
<div id="p1"><%= f.label :genre %> </div>
<%= f.text_field :genre %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="field">
<div id="p1"><%= f.label :console %> </div>
<%= f.select :console, Game::CONSOLE_OPTIONS, :prompt => 'Select' %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="field">
<div id="p1"><%= f.label :condition %> </div>
<%= f.text_field :condition %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="field">
<div id="p1"><%= f.label :description %> </div>
<%= f.text_area :description, :rows => 6 %>
</div>
<%= f.file_field :photo %>
<br />
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
<%= button_to 'Destroy', root_url, :confirm => 'Are You Sure?', :method => :delete %>
</div>
<% end %>
The problem I have is as followed. If I click the delete button it will delete the record no problem, but if I click the update button it removes the record also. If I take out the delete command then it updates fine. How can I get both to display together whilst doing their individual duties?
You need extract your destroy button from your form_for of update.
I have a model called posts, and it has many attachments.
The attachments model is using paperclip.
I made a standalone model for creating attachments which works just fine, this is the view as instructed here (https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip):
<% form_for :attachment, #attachment, :url => #attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do |form| %>
<%= form.file_field :pclip %>
<%= form.submit %>
<% end %>
The nested form in posts looks like this:
<% #attachment = #posts.attachments.build %>
<%= form_for(#posts) do |f| %>
<% if #posts.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#posts.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #posts.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.fields_for :attachments, #attachment, :url => #attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do |at_form| %>
<%= at_form.file_field :pclip %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
An attachment record is created, but its empty. The file is not uploaded. The post meanwhile, is successfully created...
Any ideas?
You are missing the :multipart option in your form definition:
<% #attachment = #post.attachments.build %>
<%= form_for #post, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<% if #post.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#post.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #post.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.fields_for :attachments, #attachment do |at_form| %>
<%= at_form.file_field :pclip %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Also, your #posts variable should really be #post (single ActiveRecord instance as opposed to an array of ActiveRecord instances).
