Render partial from controller - ruby-on-rails

I'm still relatively new to Rails so please bear with me. How can I refresh the partial and stay at the page instead of rendering only the partial?
In _interaction.html.haml:
%div.vote_up.pull-left
= link_to('', vote_up_deal_path(deal), :method => :post,
:class => 'icon-thumbs-up interaction_button', :id => "vote_up_#{deal.id}")
In 'votes.js':
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/deals/' + id + '/vote_up',
success: function() {
//do stuff
}
});
In my deals_controller.rb:
def vote_up
if user_signed_in?
current_user.vote_exclusively_for(#deal = Deal.find(params[:id]))
render :partial => 'deals/partials/interaction', :locals => {:deal => #deal}
end
end
This will redirect me to the page and render the partial instead of refreshing it like an AJAX request should.

Try
= link_to('', vote_up_deal_path(deal), :method => :post, :remote=>true,
:class => 'icon-thumbs-up interaction_button', :id => "vote_up_#{deal.id}")
because :remote says that it is ajax request

How can I pass params using link_to?

I want to pass a parameter using link_to. (Also I am trying to use Bootstrap tab)
ilban.html.erb
<%= link_to '일반공지', '#home', { 'data-toggle' => 'tab', 'aria-controls'=>'home', 'role'=>'tab', :where => 1 } %>
cpu_controller.rb
#where = params[:where]
This code doesn't get where as an parameter. How can I fix it?
I have not tested it, but it should pass the params that you want.
link_to "Search", searches_path(:where => 1, :when => "Today"), { 'data-toggle' => 'tab', 'aria-controls'=>'home', 'role'=>'tab' }
Controller:
#where = params[:where]
In Rails 5, try this syntax for link_to
link_to 'Show', view_path(:id => view.id), { 'data-toggle' => 'tab', 'aria-controls'=>'home', 'role'=>'tab' }
In the place of view path you can edit with your controller path and pass the valid id that you need to link.
Or, try this syntax also to pass params
<%= link_to "Add car", {:controller => "car", :action => "add_car", :car => car.id }%>
And add in your controller
#car = Car.find(params[:car])

refreshing a partial's variables with ajax

Rails 3.2
jQuery-Rails
I've searched all over and I've only found js ways to update a partial or add a partial via JS. I've had no luck with this one. Here is the issue:
I have a list of referrals on a page, the referrals are posted on the index page as partials. The referral box has a reply button and a count of how many replies per referral. Statically I had it working but I'm getting no luck with updating the referral box with the new count and replacing the reply button with an icon. The is getting to the database but I'm screwing something up with the refresh of the box. Help please!
Do I use locals to render the new variables?
Should I remove my if statements from the partial and just use the js.erb file to determine what to show?
Reply controller:
class RepliesController < ApplicationController
respond_to :html, :js
def new
#referral = Referral.find(params[:referral_id])
#reply = #referral.replies.new(:user_id => params[:user_id], :referral_id => params[:referral_id])
if #reply.save
format.html { notice: 'Replied' }
respond_with(#referral, :location => referrals_path)
end
end
end
_referral partial:
.referralBox.cornerShadow{:id => "Referral#{referral.id}"}
- if current_user == referral.user or current_user.role == 'administrator'
= link_to '<i class="icon-pencil icon-large icon-grey" rel="tooltip" title="Edit"></i>'.html_safe, edit_referral_path(referral), class: "referralEdit"

%i.icon-comments.icon-large{"rel" => "tooltip", "title" => "Replies"}
= referral.replies.count
- else
%i.icon-comments.icon-large.orange{"rel" => "tooltip", "title" => "Replies"}

- unless current_user == referral.user

- else

jQuery.ajaxSetup({

});

Rails file upload with ajax

i have been uploading file with rails with rest-client, but when i change that into ajax,
gives some server error.
FORM code
<%= form_tag({:controller => 'person',:action => 'create'},:multipart => true) do
%>
<%= file_field_tag 'upload', :class => 'upload_name' %>
<%= submit_tag "Upload", :class => "photo_up btn btn-success" %>
<%end%>
AJAX code
$(function(){
$(".photo_up").click(function(){
var filename = $(".upload_name").val();
$.ajax({
url: '/create', //your server side script
data: { upload: filename}, //our data
type: 'POST',
success: function (response) {
}
});
return false;
});
});
CONTROLLER code
file_param = params[:upload]
puts "name os #{file_param}"
show_url = "............."
resource = RestClient::Resource.new show_url, :user => "admin",:password => "admin"
response = resource.post :file => file_param, :multipart => true
Here when i run this code, got the serve error
RestClient::InternalServerError (500 Internal Server Error):, and i know that the server shows the null pointer, in the controller it gives the error in this line response = resource.post :file => file_param, :multipart => true. But its run when in the normal form without ajax.
Unfortunately there is no easy and universal way to send multipart forms via ajax
Look into jQuery ajaxForm plugin.
This makes this thing easy.

Locals not set when rendering multiple partials from the same controller

This bug has me perplexed.
I am displaying a Widget with the last 5 data points and a form for a new data_point. When I try to render both the form and the display partial it fails with a routing error. If I comment out either partial it works fine. So with only the form partial it works, or with only the display partial it works fine with the other.
Three relevant models/controllers: Widget, DataSet and DataPoint. DataPoints is STI so I have different partials to display the different types that match the class name.
When both render :partial => ... are uncommented it looks as if the data_point being passed to the second partial is the same as the data_point being passed to the first partial. It is all nil with only a data_set_id. I tried renaming the local from :data_point to :dp in case it was a name collision.
View, both partials and the routing error shown at the bottom.
Is there a limitation on passing :locals to partials when you are trying to render more than one partial in a view?
View: show.html.haml (the show action on the controller is empty)

Routing Error
Routing Error

Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.
The problem stems from the fact that the form is building a new element that isn't saved, and last is returning that unsaved element.
Simple solution, replace .last(5) with .find( :all, order: 'id desc', limit: 5 )

Adding an onclick option to link_to method in rails?

I want to add an onclick option to link_to method for loading an modal dialog box...i am using rails version 2.3.8 and i searched on google and could not do it. Plz anybody help me?
My link_to method as follows.
<%= link_to 'All countries',{:controller=>'countries', :action=>'new'}, :remote => true %>
If you are using 2.3.8, you don't have :remote => true. You need to use link_to_remote if you are try to do an ajax action.
So it would look something like:
<%= link_to_remote 'All countries', :url => {:controller => 'countries', :action => 'new'}%>
<div id="populate_me"></div>
and your new method would have to handle the ajax request with something like
countries_controller.rb
def new
<do something>
render :update do |page|
page.replace_html 'populate_me', :partial => 'whatever'
end
end
UPDATED
If you want the onclick in addition to the ajax action, you can just pass it into the html options:
<%= link_to_remote 'All countries', :url => {:controller => 'countries', :action => 'new'}, :html => {:onclick => 'alert("some javascript executed before ajax")'} %>
You can add this to the link:
, :class => "pop light", :id => "modal_link"
Then, your JS shows something ilke this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.poplight[href^=#]').click(function() {
var popID = $(this).attr('rel'); //Get Popup Name
var popURL = $(this).attr('href'); //Get Popup href to define size
var query= popURL.split('?');
var dim= query[1].split('&');
var popWidth = dim[0].split('=')[1]; //Gets the first query string value
$('#' + popID).fadeIn().css({ 'width': Number( popWidth ) }).prepend('');
$('a.close').hide();
var popMargTop = ($('#' + popID).height() + 80) / 2;
var popMargLeft = ($('#' + popID).width() + 80) / 2;
$('#' + popID).css({
'margin-top' : -popMargTop,
'margin-left' : -popMargLeft
});
$('body').append('<div id="fade"></div>');
$('#fade').css({'filter' : 'alpha(opacity=80)'}).fadeIn();
return false;
});
$('a.close').live('click', function() {
$('#fade , .popup_block').fadeOut(function() {
$('#fade, a.close').remove();
});
return false;
});
$('#modal_link').click();
});
</script>
