Hiall,
I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can’t
figure out how to do it. My code looks like this
<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘create’, next_step => true %>
<%= render :partial => ‘user_form’ %>
<%= render :partial => ‘community_form’ %>
<%= submit_tag “Optional Next Step” %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
<%= button_to ‘Skip Next Step’, :action => ‘create’, next_step => false
%>
The form_tag should demonstrate what I intend to do. In the
corresponding ‘create’ action of my controller, I want to redirect_to
different locations depending on params[:next_step], but somehow
params[:next_step] is never present, and I always end up being
redirected to the ‘Skip next Step’ action,
Any ideas?
cheers
Martin
Howdy Martin,
The first argument of start_form_tag can be a hash of options for
url_for-
try something like
<%= start_form_tag {:action => ‘create’, :id=whatever,
:param3=“community_farm”}, next_step => true %>
I hope this helps!
After reading apidoc I am convinced that passing arguments for urls
should work with form_tag. I tried the following:
<%= start_form_tag({:action => ‘create’}, {}, :create_webca => true) %>
and it also gives me no parameters for the url … I can’t figure out
what I’m doing wrong
Any help VERY much appreciated!
Martin
Hi Daniel,
Thx for the tip, we’re almost getting there Your proposed
statement leads to the following html output:
close but not quite there, if only it weren’t so late already where I
live
Thx for the replies guys! I could swear I tried that before, maybe I
didn’t reload properly, back button is too much a habit
This works (like Daniel suggested the key option should be a symbol)
<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘create’, :create_webca => true %>
Thx for your patience
cheers
Martin
Me again
Funny enough, this doesn’t give me the expected parameter
<%= button_to ‘Skip next step’, :action => ‘create’, :create_webca =>
false %>
Yes, I got the one with the back button right Now I’m actually
wondering if it wasn’t about the back button in the beginning. ???
Hi Martin.
Your inclusion of next_step => true should be :next_step => true
ie, the option key should be a symbol.
The call should be made (I think) as follows. I’m at work and have no
ruby
here
start_form_tag :url => { :action => ‘create’, :next_step => true }
