Text_field_tag - different parameter name

Rails
1

Hi, I have one problem with validation

I am creating e-shop and I have products. This view look like this:

<% for product in @category.products %>

  <%= product.title %><br />
  Price: <br />
  <div style="color:red; font-size:large; font-weight:bold; margin-

bottom:5px"><%= number_with_delimiter(product.price, " ")%> Kè</
div>
<%= link_to “Details”, {:action => “product”, :id =>
product.name_seo} %>

    <% form_tag :action => "add_to_cart"  do %>
      <p>
        <%= text_field_tag :quantity, "1", :size => 1 %>
        <%= submit_tag "Buy" %>
        </p>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

In controller I need get value of text_field_tag (@value =
params[:quantity] )
Problem is with validation : ID “quantity” already defined

I need something like this <%= text_field_tag “quantity_”+product.id,
“1”, :size => 1 %> .

This I get different name of text_field, but I don’t know, How can I
get params to controller

Thank you

I’ll go out on a limb and guess that you might have an object like
‘LineItem’ in your domain where:

class LineItem
belongs_to :order
has_one :product
…
end

LineItem has quantity and maybe discount_rate as attributes. With
that in mind:

<% @category.products.each do |product| %>

  <%= product.title %><br />
  Price: <br />
  <div style="color:red; font-size:large; font-weight:bold;

margin-
bottom:5px"><%= number_with_delimiter(product.price, " ")%> Kè</
div>
<%= link_to “Details”, {:action => “product”, :id =>
product.name_seo} %>

    <% form_for :line_item, LineItem.new(:product=>product), :url

=> url_for(:controller=>:order, :action=>:add_to_cart) do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :product_id %>


<%= f.text_field :quantity, “1”, :size => 1 %>
<%= submit_tag “Buy” %>


<% end %>
<% end %>

There are other improvements that you could make here, but the core of
what’s going on is that you’re wrapping the info going back to the
add_to_cart action in a line_item hash. The main change was using
form_for rather than form_tag so that you could wrap the product_id
(you’ll need that, right?) along with the quantity in a line_item hash
(controller’s perspective). To create an instance you’d:

item = LineItem.new( params[:line_item])

in your controller and it’d be loaded with both the quantity AND
product.
