[Rails] Pass infomation between different views and controllers

Hi, I am a rails and ruby nuby :-)

How do you pass data between different controllers and views? I have a
page ( a quote) that I am editing url ....quote/edit/6   6 id the
current id. I then go to a catalog (url....catalog) to add an item to
my quote (I do this via a line_item file that the quote reads) I now
want to go back to the quote. I have tried this

<%= link_to ''Back to Quote'', :controller =>
"quote", :action =>
"edit", :id => @quote %>

but this message

Couldn''t find Client without an ID

I thought that @quote would give the ID but obviously it is not doing so.

Could somebody please help me sort this out?

Regards,

Paul

What is key (id field) for the quote in the "line_item" table? eg.
lets
assume it is quote_id.
:id = @line_item.quote_id

or
Keep the id of the quote in a session parameter? and the quote 
controller edit references the session parameter value?

[Rails] Re: Pass infomation between different views and controllers

Hi Glen, thanks for the quick response. Your suggestion of storing the
quote id in a session parameter makes sense to me. However I am not
quite sure how to do that. Could you give an example please.

Thank you,

Paul

[Rails] Re: Pass infomation between different views and controllers

quote = Quote.find(params[:id])

session[:quote_id] = quote.id

P.S. Don''t forget:

        session[:quote_id] = nil

      where ever it makes sense to make it go away.

Thanks for the help so far but sorry, it is still not working :-(
Below is what I am getting:

My code:

def edit
		@client = Client.find(params[:id])
		session[:client_id] = @Client.id
  end

The dump:

 RuntimeError in QuoteController#edit

Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted
the id of nil, use object_id

	You need to use the same @client variable. You where using @Client  
instead of @client..

[Rails] Re: Pass infomation between different views and controllers

Thanks, I fixed that (and I should have noticed it. no excuse) However
the link_to still does not seem to find the ID.

The code in quote controler

def edit
		@client = Client.find(params[:id])
		session[:client_id] = @client.id
  end

The code in the layout for link_to (catalog controller)

<p><%= link_to ''Back to Quote'', :controller =>
"quote", :action =>
"edit", :id => @client %></p><br />

The URL that I am getting (no client id!)

http://127.0.0.1:3000/quote/edit

I am exspecting to see this - http://127.0.0.1:3000/quote/edit/7 but no go :-(

The dump!

Hi,

I am also new at Rails and have been struggling with this topic. I 
apologize if this is not the correct way of doing things (posting a new 
question on a post from someone else). I want to access a variable that 
was set up in a controller from a different view. The code is as 
follows:

def login
		if request.get?
	    session[:user_id] = nil
			@user = User.new
		else
			@user = User.new(params[:user])
			logged_in_user = @user.try_to_login
      if logged_in_user
        session[:user_id] = logged_in_user.id
        redirect_to(:action => "index")
      else
        flash[:notice] = "Invalid user/password combination"
      end
    end
  end

in the index view, I would like to access info about this specific user. 
I am not sure how to recover it from the session id  - or whether that 
is an efficient way of doing it versus keeping the whole user record in 
the session.

index.rhtml
<h1> Your Stats</h1>
<%= if @user.correctCount == nil
		tempUserCorrect = 0
	 else
		tempUserCorrect = @user.correctCount
	 end
	 %>
<p> Correct = <%= @tempUserCorrect %></p>
<p> Incorrect = </p>

it does not find @user (it has a nil value). Not sure why the @user 
variable from the login controller is not available in index which it 
redirects to.

thanks for any thoughts

   @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user_id])

Don''t worry about efficiency. And, don''t store the entire
object.

Storing the user object will "work", but then you''ll need to
keep
the session user object in sync with the row in the table.

Thanks - that works.

Why do you suggest not to worry about efficiency? - curious?

You''re just learning Rails. You''re at the training wheels
stage, but
you''re worrying about the Tour de France.

Learn the framework. Learn to write apps efficiently and quickly.
Apps that are easy to understand and follow, easy for yourself and
others to maintain.

 From the guy who wrote the books:

   "Premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most

    of it) in programming."

This is a bad approach because the "Back to whatever" links in ALL  
windows will lead to the latest
search that was done out of any window.
