Rails

hey,

i have this problem

how come i always get -1 for the select list??

rhtml

First, select a client.

<%= options_for_select(@client_options, @client_id.to_i) %>
<%= @client_id %>

controller
if @request.post?
if @request.xml_http_request? #called by ajax,
@client_id = -2
else
@client_id = -11#params[:client][:id].nil? ? -11 :
params[:client][:id]
end
else
@client_id = -1
end

shouldnt it be-11 ???

Output
First, select a client.

Hi Nick

I’d use the script\breakpointer to check what’s happening here (put a
breakpoint instruction just above the line you want to check, and launch
the
breakpointer: you’ll be able to quickly inspect the variables and know
exactly what happens).

when i do inspect

<%= params.inspect %>
{“action”=>“access_geotags”, “id”=>“32”, “controller”=>“users”}

and in the rhtml

<%= check_box "user", "view_all_geotags" %> User may view all geotags from the selected clients. Or, select the geotags the user can view. First, select a client. <%= @client_id.inspect %> <%= options_for_select(@client_options, @client_id.to_i) %>

output of rhtml

User may view all geotags from the selected clients. Or, select the geotags the user can view. First, select a client. 3 Select a client Belcompany BYS Twodecode

in the controller

if @request.post?
@client_id = params[:client][:id].blank? ? -1 : params[:client][:id]
else
@client_id = 3
end

if @request.post?
@user_id = params[:id]
@geotagidlist = params[:selected_geotagtype].blank? ? -1 :
params[:selected_geotagtype]
@user.update_attribute(:view_all_geotags,
params[:user][:view_all_geotags] )

end

the update works but i cant get the clientid :s:s:s
