RESTful form_for generation

Rails
1

In my view I wrote the following :

<% form_for [@academy, @ecourse ], :url => { :action =>
“update” }, :html => {:method => :put} do |f| %>

but it’s generating the html code :

.....

rather than action : /academies/1/ecourses/4… and the method is
still ‘post’

I am sure to be wrong but where ?

thanks fyh

Try the following steps:

  1. Remove :url => { :action => “update” }, you do not need this as the
    [@academy, @ecourse ] will generate the correct path and the :html =>
    {:method => :put} will generate the correct method for submission

  2. Check that @academy is not nil, but off the top of my head I think
    it would generate an incorrect path and would raise an error

  3. The method has been generated correctly. See: This is a Rails hack as browsers do not
    support the ‘put’ method natively. That’s why you still see ‘post’ in
    the actual form tag.
