I actually have 2 questions: 1. Right now when a customer logs in, he gets redirected to the 1st page in the catalog, and the cart session is stored in the database. How can I redirect the customer to his last visited page at login? 2. When the same customer checks out, he needs to fill out his address. There is a model for customers, which the administrator controls. The administrator can enter the customer''s email, address, phone and so on. How can I make that the details that are on file, get remembered and automatically filled out in the checkout form (so the customer does not have to enter them again and again)? The models are: cart - controls checkout order customer ... Relationships in the Cart class are: has_many :cart_items has_many :products, :through => :cart_items belongs_to :customer An example from my checkout form: <p><label for="order_email">Email</label></p> <p><%= text_field :order, :email %></p> Any help will be much appreciated.

Actually this gave me an error, but when changing it to: <%= text_field_tag "email", @cart.customer.email %> it worked. Still one last question: will rails know that I want to save that email address in the orders table? And also, trying to checkout, I now get an error: There were problems with the following fields: Email is invalid ... but the email is valid. What is the problem then?

You''re using a text_field_tag, try specifying <%= text_field "order", "email", @cart.customer.email %> instead.

If I use this version: <%= text_field_tag "email", @cart.customer.email %> The email gets displayed and when I use debug to check type, the type of @cart.customer.email is String. But then I get an error that the email address is invalid, even though it is. If I use: <%= text_field "order", "email", @cart.customer.email %> I get: TypeError in Cart#checkout Showing app/views/cart/checkout.rhtml where line #17 raised: can''t convert Symbol into String Would anyone have a solution? or know what the problem is?

No @order instance. The order is created and populated once the user
clicks "process".
Application trace is:
#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/
form_helper.rb:162:in `delete''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/cart/checkout.rhtml:18:in
`_run_rhtml_47app47views47cart47checkout46rhtml''
Is this any help?

Indeed it is, define @order = Order.new in the controller and it might get rid of your problem. What it''s trying to do is to find an order instance variable with an email method on it, but maybe because you don''t have it defined it''s throwing that error.

This is my cart_controller#place_order:
def place_order
@page_title = "Checkout"
@order = Order.new(params[:order])
@order.customer_ip = request.remote_ip
@order.customer_id = @customer.id
@order.discount = @customer.discount
populate_order
if @order.save
if @order.process
flash[:notice] = ''Your order has been submitted, and will be
processed immediately.''
session[:order_id] = @order.id
# Empty the cart
@cart.cart_items.destroy_all
redirect_to :action => ''thank_you''
else
flash[:notice] = "Error while placing order.
''#{@order.error_message}''"
render :action => ''view_cart''
end
else
render :action => ''checkout''
end
end
Should I define it in another place?

Bah! I''m stupid.

Between the two of us, I would be the stupid one, not you :)
And I learn something new every day.
So, I can use :value to specify what shows in the field.
But I now have a new question: I have all the states in an array and I
use an iterator to print out all the states.
Now, I want the customer''s state to be pre-selected, so, my logic says
to use something like that:
states.each do | state | %>
<option value="<%= state %>"
<%= if state == @cart.customer.ship_to_state then puts
''selected="selected"'' end %> ><%= state
%></option>
<% end %>
...but this doesn''t work. It just prints the normal list of states,
with none selected.
What should I change?

Why wouldn''t you do something along the lines of:
# your_controller.rb
@some_states_and_provinces = [''alabama'',
''arkansas'', ''canberra'', ''new
south wales''].map{|s| [s,s]}
@selection = ''canberra''
# your_view.rhtml
<%= select(''order'', ''state'',
@some_states_and_provinces, :first, :first, @selection) %>
I don''t know what your fields are, but chances are there''s a
Rails
helper to take care of your problem.

Thanks guys and I agree about using a helper method. Would be better... but I tried that before and because I don''t know enough about rails just yet, I had trouble with it and resorted to this solution. How would you suggest I create a helper method?
