Hi,
I cannot seem to find out how to pass in a value to a partial. Can
anyone help me?
What I am doing(in the code below) is calling a function in my
controller called setobject. This function just redraws the partial. I
want to be able to change the value @objectname, redraw my partial and
have it be able to use that value. The first the page is drawn it works,
but when i call setobject it says that @objectname is null in my partial
and it throws an error.
Code follows.
In my index.rhtml I have the following:
<%= render :partial => “properties” %>
with some other code later on in the file
<%= drop_receiving_element “dcwindow”,
:update => “items”, :url => { :action => “setobject” },
:accept => “products”, :hoverclass => “cart-active”,
:loading => “Element.show(‘indicator’)”,
:complete =>
“Element.hide(‘indicator’);additem(element.alt,element.id);”
%>
In _properties.rhtml I have:
<%
command = @objectname
%>
Which I then use later on.
In my controller file I have:
def index
@objectname = “Plane”
end
def setobject
render :partial => “properties”
end
Thank in advance!
