Checking request.post? before action

Rails
1

I have the following code:

def create
redirect_to :action => “index” unless request.post?
@entry = Entry.new(params[:entry])
if @entry.save
flash[:notice] = “Successfully created…”
redirect_to :action => “index”
else
render :action => “new”
end
end

I get an error “Can only render or redirect once per action”.
I understand “redirect_to” or “render” doesn’t end the script.

I would like to allow only “post” request for “create” action,
so I need to do somehting about this.

But how can I improve the script?

Is there any way to write
redirect_to :action => “index” unless request.post?
in model?

Tek,

You need to return or the processing keeps happening through the
method. I.e.:

redirect_to :action => “index” and return unless request.post?
