Rails - Mar 2006 - List and update values from text_field_tag fields

Hi,

I populate a couple of text_field_tag''s with data from an AciveRecord  
object. Some fields are editable and at the end of the page there''s a  
submit button. I want the new values to be updated in the DB but by  
default my original values are stored again.
How do i go about doing this?

thanks/jens

Why don''t you want your unchanged values stored again?

ohh, i dont mind the unchanged values stored again.
My problem (and its probably a very basic such) is how do i get the newly
entered values from the text_field_tag''s back into the db?

thanks/jens

Ok, i see.

# code in your e.g. project controller

def update
  @project = Project.find(params[:project][:id])
  if @project.update_attributes(params[:project])
    flash[:notice] = ''Project updated''
    redirect_to :action => ''list''
  else
    render :action => new
  end
end

Perhaps you want to use the scaffold generator to generate some sample
code to see how everything works together.

Maybe you should follow a Rails tutorial like:
