Rails - May 2005 - How to put a form for one controller in another controlers view

Hello,

If anyone could help me out with this problem I''d appreciate it...

I''m making a database of event bookings, I have an events table and a 
clients table.  I''d like to include a form to create a new client in
the
form for creating a new event.

This would update the parent form with the new client_id using AJAX 
methods (see previous e-mail) so you''d never have to leave the
''new
booking'' page to add a new client.

I''m not entirely sure how to render the form that''s part of
the client
controller in the ''new event'' view.   I''d like to
keep it sensible and
have it reusable in the client controller, not just hard coded into the 
new event view.

Thanks for the help!

Hi!

Perhaps you could implement new_client form inside
view/shared/_newclient.rhtml or something similar. Then you could call
render_partial on "shared/newclient" when adding events.

If the form needs controller-type setup (initializing a blank object,
etc), then you could look at components--make an action on the
relevant controller that initializes data and then does render_partial
''controller/form_partial'' and then use render_component
:controller=>''controller'',:action=>''form_partial_action''
to drop it
in. Have a look at the components book on heiraki. It''s brief, but I
think it can do what you want.

The years ahead pick up their dark bags.
They move closer. There''s a slight rise in the silence

then nothing.
