Hello, I’m in troubles with an easy thing I’ve done several times, but
I don’t see what I’m doign wrong.
Having index.html.erb:
# Projects
\<% for project in @projects %\>
\<% end %\>
|
| |
| \<%= project.name %\> | \<%= project.description %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Show', project %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_project\_path(project) %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Destroy', project, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\> |
\<%= link\_to\_remote ‘New project’, :url =\> new\_project\_path %\>
new.rjs:
page.replace\_html “new\_project”, :partial =\> “new”, :object =\>
@project
and finally \_new.html.erb:
SOME TEXT
When I’m within index.html.erb and click on ‘New project’ link, I see
this log in the console:
Processing ProjectsController#new (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-02-16
18:08:12) [GET]
Parameters:
{“authenticity\_token”=\>“1efcdedfb3b680581058efa75cdbc143bf880b65”}

new?authenticity\_token=1efcdedfb3b680581058efa75cdbc143bf880b65]
but nothing happens, thus is, it doesn’t replace the ‘new\_project’
DIV. What I’m doing wrong, because I can’t see it.
Thanks in advance.

I can answer myself. I didn’t notice that in Rails 2.2 I need to make
changes in the controller’s action to respond to JS.
def new
@project = Project.new
@states = ProjectStatus.all.collect {|s| [s.name, s.name]}
respond\_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.js # new.js.rjs \<--------------------------------- HERE!
end
end
This is a thing I don’t like with new releases of Rails, they always
broke backwards compatibility…

Hi, you should never upgrade without reading the release notes and how
it
may effect your current application.
Good luck,
