I ran straight into a brick wall here. The setup:
I have the controller "players". It lists all players, with a check
box to tag invididual lines. I also have a select list to select a
"raid" to add the players to. But I can''t get that data
properly to
the "raids" controller, which will handle the adding.
Here''s the code, stripped down to the essentials:
<%= form_tag :controller => ''raids'', :action =>
''add_members'' %>
<% for player in @players %>
<%= check_box ''player'', ''id'', {},
player.id %>
<% end %>
<select><%= select_open_raids %></select> <%= submit_tag
''Assign'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
select_open_raids is just a simple function that returns the groups
that are open right now:
def select_open_raids
@raids = Raid.find(:all, :conditions => "status =
''open''")
options_from_collection_for_select(@raids, "id",
"description")
end
Tailing the development log shows that I don''t get what I want in the
parameters to the raids controller:
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Assign",
"player"=>{"id"=>"0"},
"action"=>"add_members",
"controller"=>"raids"}
For starters, no matter which players I choose, if any, it only passes
:id => 0. check_box adds a hidden input field, and that screws this
up. Do I have to write my own custom checkbox function for this?
And the raids select box doesn''t appear in the parameters either.
Suggestions and pointers, anyone?

your select box has no name ... thus should not be sending any values with the request.

I made my own checkbox method that outputs <input type="checkbox" id="player_id" name="player[id][]" value="<%player.id %>"/> This gives me "player"=>{"id"=>["11", "12", "17"]} So I can select whichever checkboxes I need and get their associated id to the controller. -- Johan Svensson atomicplayboy.net
