Hello,
I am sure this is a simple problem but for some reason I can''t get it
to work.
I am trying to delete a record. My routes.rb has:
map.resources :ads
...the AdsController has:
def destroy
@ad = Ad.find(params[:id])
@ad.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(ads_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
...and the index.html.erb has:
<ul>
<% @ads.each do |ad| %>
<li><%= link_to h(ad.name), ad %> [<%= link_to
"Delete", ads_path
(ad), :method => :destroy %>]</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
But instead of destroying a record, it creates a new empty record.
Also, when looking at the url of ''Delete'' I get
http://localhost:3000/ads.%23%3Cad:0x24681b8%3E
TIA,
Elle

try changing the delete link to ad_path(ad) instead of ads_path(ad).

Solved. 1. As Andrew suggested, I used ad_path(ad) in singular 2. I left the name of the method as destroy, so: def destroy ... end 3. Changed the :method => :delete so, my delete link ended up as: <%= link_to ''Delete'', ad_path(ad), :method => :delete %> Thanks, Elle On Mar 25, 4:28 pm, elle <wazne...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I get: > > ActionController::MethodNotAllowed > Only get, put, and delete requests are allowed. > > which I don''t understand -- since isn''t the request delete?? > > On Mar 25, 4:10 pm, Andrew Bloom <akbl...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > try changing the delete link to ad_path(ad) instead of ads_path(ad). > > > On Mar 24, 10:30 pm, elle <wazne...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > I am sure this is a simple problem but for some reason I can''t get it > > > to work. > > > I am trying to delete a record.
