authlogic and posts for current_user - ruby-on-rails

I am using authlogic for users to login and once they do so, I would like them to be able to add posts. For some reason I keep getting "Couldn't find User without an ID". Below is my code:
posts controller
def create
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
#post = #user.posts.create(params[:post])
redirect_to current_user_path(#current_user)
end
show page
<% #user.posts.each do |post| %>
<tr>
<td><%= post.postName %></td>
<td><%= post.body %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Show', post %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post) %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', post, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %> </td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<br />
<h2>Add a Post:</h2>
<%= form_for([#current_user, #user.posts.build]) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :body %><br />
<%= f.text_area :body %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
I know it has something to do with current user, but I cannot get this working! Any help is greatly appreciated!

First, you should use current_user not #current_user
Second, you're doing #user = User.find(params[:user_id]) but I don't understand why you expect to have something like :user_id in your params. That's why you get that "Couldn't find User without an ID" error.

Form_tag routing error after unsuccessful submit

I have an index page with a partial form to submit new records to Package model. I keep this form in the index page, so the user doesn't need to leave the page when repeating this action, several times.
In the same page I have a form_tag fir multiple updates for the same controller, namely packages_controller.
Everything works fine, except the following: when hit the update button, going to the form BUT instead of submitting I go back (with the browser) and try to select other records to be updated then I have a routing error:
Routing Error
No route matches [PUT] "/projects/47/orderlines/18/packages"
My index page looks like this:
<% if current_user %>
<%= render "packages/form" %>
<% end %>
<% if #packages.count >= 1 %>
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> <input type="checkbox" id="selectAll" value="selectAll"></th>
<th>Packed </th>
<th>#No.</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Gross weight</th>
<th>Length</th>
<th>Width</th>
<th>Height</th>
<th></th>
<th>Container</th>
</tr>

<%= form_tag edit_multiple_project_orderline_packages_path, method: :get do %>
<tbody>
<% for package in #packages %>
<% if package.packed== true %>
<% #label_type="success" %>
<% else %>
<% #label_type="default" %>
<% end %>

<% end %>

</table>
<%= submit_tag "Add to container", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
<br />
<%= will_paginate %>
<br>
And the multiple_edit form
<div class="col-sm-4">
<%= form_tag update_multiple_project_orderline_packages_path, method: :put do %>
<ul>
<% #packages.each do |package| %>
<li>

</li>
<% end %>

<%= fields_for :package do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :package_no %><br />
<%= f.text_field :package_no, :class => "form-control" %>

<br />
<div class="field">

<%= f.select :packed, [["Packed", true], ["Unpacked", false]],{ prompt: "- Packing -"},{ :class => "form-control" } %>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<br />
<%= submit_tag "Update", :class => "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
And the packages controller edit_multiple actions:
def edit_multiple
#project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
#packages = Package.find(params[:package_ids])
end
def update_multiple
#packages = Package.find(params[:package_ids])
#packages.reject! do |package|
package.update_attributes(package_params.reject { |k,v| v.blank? })
end
if #packages.empty?
redirect_to project_orderline_packages_url
else
#package = Package.new(package_params)
render "edit_multiple"
end
end
packages_controller create action:
def create
project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
orderline = project.orderlines.find(params[:orderline_id])
#package = orderline.packages.new(package_params)
#package.save
if #package.save
flash[:success] = "Package(s) was successfully added."
redirect_to :back
else
render 'new'
end
And my routes:
resources :projects do
resources :containers
resources :orderlines do
resources :packages do
collection do
put :packed
get :edit_multiple
put :update_multiple
end
end
end
end
I just added my routes here:
edit_multiple_project_orderline_packages_path GET /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages/edit_multiple(.:format)
packages#edit_multiple
update_multiple_project_orderline_packages_path PUT /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages/update_multiple(.:format)
packages#update_multiple
project_orderline_packages_path GET /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages(.:format)
packages#index
POST /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages(.:format)

packages#show
PATCH /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages/:id(.:format)
packages#update
PUT /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages/:id(.:format)
packages#update
DELETE /projects/:project_id/orderlines/:orderline_id/packages/:id(.:format)
your form_tag code is update_multiple_project_orderline_packages_path
I think it should be update_multiple_project_orderline_package_path(project_id, orderline_id, package_id)
I am not 100% sure with my statement above, because you gave scrambled Rails Routes, hard to read
and your form action seems goes to packages#edit_multiple controller
so paste your edit_multiple method, not create method
are you implementing your scenario above with javascript, or just plain HTML?

Rails: undefined method for nil:NilClass

This might be a simple question, but I can't figure it out.
Model Question has many Model Answer, and they both belong to Model User.
Here is part of index.erb.html:
<tbody>
<% #questions.each do |question| %>
<tr>
<td><%= question.content %></td>
<%= time_ago_in_words(question.created_at) %> ago by <%= question.user.email %>
<td><%= link_to 'Show', question %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_question_path(question) %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', question, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td>
<% if question.answers %>
<h4>Answers</h4>
<% #question.answers.each do |answer| %>
<p>
<%= answer.content %>
</p>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<br>
<p>Add Answers</p>ww
<%= form_for([question,question.answers.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :content %>
<%= submit_tag "Add" %>
<br>
<% end %>
</tr>
<% end %>
</tbody>
And I used seed.rb to insert data.
Here is seed.rb
User.destroy_all
Question.destroy_all
Answer.destroy_all
user = User.create(email: "123#gmail.com", password: "2wsx1qaz")
q = Question.create(content: "Q1", user: user)
#q2 = Question.create(content: "Q2", user: user)
Answer.create(content: "answer1", question: q, user: user)
Answer.create(content: "answer2", question: q, user: user)
But it threw this error
I also put this project on github
Update
After above error, the render result is weird.
It should show Question, and then check there are any answer for that question. If there are, shows answers.
But, the result on my browser is like that
But, I expected it should be like this
You don't have #question defined, so it's nil and that's why you got: undefined method answers for nil:NilClass when you called this:
#question.answers
You actually have question defined. So, use that :-)
Change this:
<% #question.answers.each do |answer| %>
To:
<% question.answers.each do |answer| %>
I think this line is incorrect
<%= time_ago_in_words(question.created_at) %> ago by <%= question.user.email %>
which is outside table data so put this in your <td> clause. an your answers are also not in any table data so put it in proper format of table.
for more info to render table in html #table. so it is disturbed your UI part.

Why my form won't submit correctly?

I have User model and Comment model using acts_as_commentable_with_threading
I'm trying to put the comment function on each User's show page with partial.
But When I try to submit a form, it shows routing error.
Why is this?
Error
Routing Error
No route matches [POST] "/user/john/add_comment"
models/user.rb
acts_as_commentable
views/users/show.html.erb
<%= render 'comment', :user => #user %>

<th>Title</th>
<th>Body</th>
<th>Subject</th>

<th>Delete</th>
</tr>
<% #user.comment_threads.each do |comment| %>
<tr>
<td><%= comment.id %></td>
<td><%= comment.title %></td>
<td><%= comment.body %></td>
<td><%= comment.subject %></td>
<td><%= comment.user.user_profile.nickname if comment.user.user_profile %></td>
<td><%= button_to 'destroy', comment, confirm: 'Are you sure?', :disable_with => 'deleting...', method: :delete %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<%= form_for #user, :html => { :class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :body %><br />
<%= f.text_field :body %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
routes.rb
get "user/:id/add_comment" => 'users#add_comment', :as => :add_comment_user
get "user/:id/delete_comment" => 'users#delete_comment', :as => :delete_comment_user
users_controller.rb
def add_comment
#user = User.find_by_username(params[:id])
#user_who_commented = current_user
#comment = Comment.build_from( #user, #user_who_commented.id, params[:users][:body] )
#comment.save
redirect_to :controller => 'users', :action => 'show', :id => params[:users][:id]
flash[:notice] = "comment added!"
end
Because your route is for a GET, and the form is a POST.
It needs to be a post route. Also you are posting to user/:name/add_comment, you should post the the user id. You can use the name but this would need to be unique across all users.
This line is also wrong.
#user = User.find_by_username(params[:id])
You can either pass in the params[:username] of find_by_id

How to setup the actions with considering database design of rails3

Assume you have the model called 'Topic' as a parent, and 'Comment' as a child.
On the url 'topics/show/35' you can see all the comments that belongs to this topic ID#35.
When logged-in user want to post his new comment at this page,
should I write 'comment_create' action in topics_controller.rb?
or just write 'create' action in comments_controller.rb, and call it from this page?
Which one is regular way??
If I call 'create' action in comments_controller, how can I write in view to pass
'Model name' to add comments into
'Models ID#'
'comment body'
or should I just write actions separately like this?
controllers/comments_controller.rb
def create_in_topic
code here! to add new comment record that belongs to topic....
end
def create_in_user
code here! to add new comment record that belongs to user....
end
for your information, comment adding action should be something like this.
def create
#topic = Topic.find(params[:topics][:id] )
#user_who_commented = current_user
#comment = Comment.build_from( #topic, #user_who_commented.id, params[:topics][:body] )
#comment.save
redirect_to :back
flash[:notice] = "comment added!"
end
Example Updated!!!
views/topics/show.html.erb
<table>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Body</th>
<th>Subject</th>
<th>Posted by</th>
<th>Delete</th>
</tr>
<% #topic.comment_threads.each do |comment| %>
<tr>
<td><%= comment.id %></td>
<td><%= comment.title %></td>
<td><%= comment.body %></td>
<td><%= comment.subject %></td>
<td><%= comment.user.user_profile.nickname if comment.user.user_profile %></td>
<td> **Comment destroy method needed here!!!** </td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<%=form_for :topics, url: url_for( :controller => :topics, :action => :add_comment ) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :'comment' %><br />
<%= f.text_field :body %>
</div>
<%= f.hidden_field :id, :value => #topic.id %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
controllers/topics_controller.rb
def add_comment
#topic = Topic.find(params[:topics][:id] )
#user_who_commented = current_user
#comment = Comment.build_from( #topic, #user_who_commented.id, params[:topics][:body] )
#comment.save
redirect_to :back
flash[:notice] = "comment added!"
end
I think the most straight forward implementation it's going to be an action (ie: add_comment) in your Topic Controller. Once the view call the TopicController#add_comment action you will have all your Topic information and also the comment data so you can easily add the comment to the Topic from there.
Let me know if you need further help.

Well I'm not to sure because that gem, but you could try something like this:
<%=form_for #topic, url: url_for( :controller => :topics, :action => :add_comment ) do |f| %>
<table>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Body</th>
<th>Subject</th>
<th>Posted by</th>
<th>Delete</th>
</tr>
<% #topic.comment_threads.each do |comment| %>
<%= f.fields_for :comment_threads, comment do |comment_form| %>
<tr>
<td><%= comment.id %></td>
<td><%= comment.title %></td>
<td><%= comment.body %></td>
<td><%= comment.subject %></td>
<td><%= comment.user.user_profile.nickname if comment.user.user_profile %></td>
<td>Delete? <%= comment_form.check_box :_destroy %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</table>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :'comment' %><br />
<%= f.text_field :body %>
</div>
<%= f.hidden_field :id, :value => #topic.id %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>

Rails 3 submit a form with multiple records

I'm new to rails so this is probably a basic question. I am trying to create a form where the user can create 3 records at once. I want the user to only have to click the submit button once. I'm submitting to my Review model a name, comment, and rating. Currently, only the last record is entered into the database.
<%= form_for([#user,#review]) do |f| %>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Rank</td>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Comment</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td><%= f.text_field :name %></td>
<td><%= f.text_field :comment %></td>
<%= f.hidden_field :rating, :value=> "5" %>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td><%= f.text_field :name %></td>
<td><%= f.text_field :comment %></td>
<%= f.hidden_field :rating, :value=> "3" %>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td><%= f.text_field :name %></td>
<td><%= f.text_field :comment %></td>
<%= f.hidden_field :rating, :value=> "1" %>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Create my top 3" %>
</div>
<% end %>
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
I would recommend using fields_for for this:
<%= form_for([#user, :reviews]) do |f| %>
<% #reviews.each do |review| %>
<%= fields_for review do |r| %>
<%= render "reviews/form", :r => r %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
To make this work, you will need to build as many review objects as you require in your controller:
def new
# you could also have this in a before_filter...
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#reviews = Array.new(3) { #user.reviews.build }
end
This would create new instances of review records for this user, which is different from new records. Instances are simply Ruby objects. Now because you've called #user.reviews.build three times, you'll see three reviews in your view.
def create
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#reviews = Review.create(params[:reviews])
# Some more logic for validating the parameters passed in
end
This will create three new Review objects and link them to #user, assuming all three are valid.
You'll need to tell rails its an array. First, read this section of this article:
For your purpose, you'll need to build the form by hand:
<%= form_tag 'foo' do %>
<% [1,3,5].each do |i| %>
<%= text_field_tag 'review[][name]' %>
<%= text_field_tag 'review[][comment]' %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'review[][rating]', :value => i %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
