I''ve got my site posting comments with ajax, but I can''t seem
to handle
the callback correctly.
Do I just put what I want returned in the "comments.rhtml" file?
I''ve
been trying to do this, but am having no luck.
If I have the parameters for the comments, I should be able to single
them out, but I''m not sure how to do it. This is what I mean:
<%=params[:comments]%> #returns name, site, comment, but not
individually.
How can I do this essentially (without getting errors),
<%=params[:comments.name]%>
<%=params[:comments.site]%>
<%=params[:comments.created_at]%>
<%=params[:comments.entry]%>
Also, when I try to use strftime in "comments.rhtml" it says that
it''s
undefined.
I don''t even know if the above things that I mentioned are even the
right way to go about it, I just don''t know how to do it.
The comments are saving to the database fine, but I have to refresh the
page to get it to show up. Also, I would like to use
"Effect.Appear(''new-comment'')" oncomplete. This
doesn''t seem to be
working either.
Can someone tell me how to display the comment after an Ajax submission?
Please HELP!
Thanks!

MY CAPSLOCKS KEY MUST BE STUCK :DYes, I can access the name, site, and entry that way, but not the "created_at" attribute. How can I access this variable? I guess since it''s automatically created, it doesn''t show up in the params? Also, how can I return a count one more than the last comment? Essentially, displaying #1, #2, #3 with each comment. Right now, on page load, I''m incrementing a counter inside of the for loop which iterates through the comments, but since I''m trying to do ajax, this part won''t be involved in the for loop. please help again! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
OK - I will bite, even if you posted the topic in caps.
The return from the AJAX call will need to update a div in your page.
Try to get it working by just returning
render_text ''done''. When you see your page updating the div
with ''done''
you can then try returning the actaully content that you want displayed.
I find the best way to do this is using a partial. To illustrate, here
is an AJAX action from the app that I am currently working on.
def set_priority
requirement = Requirement.find( params[:id] )
requirement.increment_priority
requirement.save
vendors = Vendor.find( :all )
render :partial => "requirements", :locals => {
:requirement =>
requirement, :vendors => vendors }
end
and here is the the rhtml from the original page.
<% for feature in @features %>
<% requirement = feature.requirement( @project.id) %>
<%= render( :partial => "requirements", :locals => {
:requirement =>
requirement, :vendors => @vendors } ) %>
<% end %>
Hope this helps.
