Hi all,

I’m following the shop example in ‘Agile Web D. with Rails’.

I would like to extend the checkout screen, in such a way people can
change
the number of items they have selected in there cart.

In my controller I have:

def checkout
@cart = find_cart
@items = @cart.items
if @items.empty?
redirect_to_index(“There’s nothing in your cart!”)
else
@order = Order.new
@address = Address.new
end
end

I also created the following checkout.rhtml file:

<% @page_title = “Checkout” -%>

<%= error_messages_for(:order) %>

<%= start_form_tag(:action => “update_order”) %>

<%= render(:partial => 'orderitem', :collection => @items) %>

<%= submit_tag “Update” %>

<%= end_form_tag %>

Finally I created the following partial:

<% product = orderitem.product %>

<%= check_box 'orderitem', 'delete', 'index' => orderitem_counter %> <%= text_field 'orderitem', 'quantity', 'value' => orderitem.quantity, 'index' => orderitem_counter, :size => 4 %> <%= product.brand %> <%= product.title %>

Now when the user submits the form, I would like to read the quantity
for
each line_item and update my cart accordingly. Also, if the checkbox is
checked I would like to delete the line_item from the cart.

I have no clue how to do this in my controller…

Can you give me a hint?
