Hii

In a partial I used button\_to\_remote for deleting record.

My record is deleted but message is not firing.

\<%= button\_to\_remote “Delete”, :url =\> {:controller =\> “users” ,  
:action =\> “deletegroup”, :group\_name=\>grouprow.group\_name}, :class =\>  
“submit\_input\_button rounded\_corner” %\>

Action in Controller  
def deletegroup  
j=0  
puts “in delete group”  
puts params[:group\_name]  
@grpfriends=[]

@grp=Group.find\_by\_user\_id\_and\_group\_name(current\_user.id  
,params[:group\_name])  
puts @grp.id

@grpfriends=GroupFriend.find\_all\_by\_group\_id\_and\_user\_id(@grp.id,current\_user.id)  
puts @grpfriends

@grpfriends.each do |f|  
f.destroy  
j=j+1  
end

@grp.destroy

@msg=“Group deleted successfully.”

respond\_to do |format|  
flash[:error]=@errmsg  
flash[:notice] = @msg  
format.html {redirect\_to :back}  
end

end

Please help how I can display a success message “Group deleted  
successfully.”

Thank you.

With a button\_to\_remote like that you’re going to have to display the  
message yourself - either supply an onSuccess callback or write some  
rjs / call an rjs template ni your respond\_to block that displays a  
message.
