Hey I am making a photo website for a class and I am stuck i need to have a text_area pick up a variable and put it in my controller to change the number of thumbnails that show up on my view page. I can not figure out how to create this and make a text_area and button to submit it and have the page refresh with the new number of thumbnails on it. Here are some snippits of my code. photos_controller.rb def list @photo_pages, @photos = paginate :photos, :per_page => ((@params[:pagesize]) || 12) end def update_list @pagesize = pagesize.new(params[:pagesize]) @pagesize.save @pagesize = pagesize.find(params[:pagesize]) #auto_complete_for :pagesize @photo_pages, @photos = paginate :photos, :per_page => pagesize.find(params[:pagesize]) end --------------------------------------------------------------- list.rhtml <p> <%= form_tag({:action=>''create''}, :multipart => true)%> <p><label for="photo_title">Title</label><br/> <%= text_area ''pagesize'', ''size'' %></p> <%= submit_tag "Submit" %> <%= end_form_tag %> <% #render :action => ''pagesize'' == @params[:pagesize] %> </p> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
