Anyone mind helping with he following, whatever I do I can''t get it to
work quite right, I want the selection dropdown to show a list of
enquiries maybe by Enquiry.firstname and when selected the show action
to display the enquiry, I know this should be mega easy but I can''t get
it to work with colleciton select.
controller index action
------------------
def index
@enquiries = Enquiry.find(:all, :order => ''created_at
ASC'')
end
view
---
<% form_tag :controller => ''enquiries'', :action =>
''show'', :id =>
@enquiry do %>
SELECT HELPER ? COLLECTION SELECT?
<%= submit_tag "Show" %>
controller view action
----------------
def show
@enquiry = Enquiry.find(params[:id])
end
--

anyone? I just need a basic dropdown which passes the id of the selected enquiry. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hope it helps. NOTE: I didn''t test it, but I''m pretty sure it''s right, which means you may have to tweak it. ;) Also of note, if you want something different to show up in the select, you can add a method to your model that returns the proper text and substitute that for :firstname in your collection select. i.e. class Enquiry def last_comma_first self.lastname.to_s + '', '' + self.firstname.to_s end end <%= collection_select :enquiry, :id, @enquiries, :id, :last_comma_first %> Cheers, Darrik -- Darrik Mazey DMT Programming, LLC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Darrick, That''s great thanks, I tried this before (or something very similar and it worked)...Here''s the problem though... That show action works your way from the collection select drop down... However.... When I do it this it brakes something else (the show action after I''ve editted a form). e.g this URL. http://localhost:3000/enquiries/show/5 I see why it''s broken I just don''t know how to fix it...so it''s like I''ve got two situations, one from the dropdown and one from a regular form and I''d like the show action to deal with both? Hope that makes sense... BTW I love the enhancement in my model which I did giving first initial then lastname... Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

any ideas, does my show action need to change, or the collection select, OR the params passed from when I move to the show action from the edit ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Are you using the url generator methods? e.g. enquiry_url(@enquiry) and friends? If you use the url generator methods for all of your links, you shouldn''t have any problems. Use these as parameters to redirect_to and link_to. <%= link_to ''list'', enquiries_path %> ... or ... redirect_to enquiry_url(@enquiry) How are you generating the url you listed above?
