ok, so here''s my problem... i''ll add the code below... I want
to
display users, and as an administrator, give other users
administrative priviledges... so, I would perform this in the users
index page... displaying all users and adding a checkbox next to each
one to give administrative priviledges...
I''ve tried two methods to do this, the first is submit_tag, and the
second is link_to... When I use submit_tag, then theoretically the
boolean value for ''administrator'' in the database should be
updated,
but it''s not... when I use link_to, the page is updated (i.e. the
checkbox shows the correct value), but the database is not... also,
i''m not redirected to where i''m intended... in the
''update'' action of
the controller, I''ve put:
format.html { redirect_to(:controller => "videos") }
but I get redirected to ''/users/:id'', with the id of the user
i''ve
just edited... why is this?
anyway, here''s the /users/index.html.erb code, i''ve been
stumped on
this for a while now, and haven''t been able to find anything via
google... any help appreciated... cheers!
<h1>users</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Login</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Administrator</th>
</tr>
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<tr>
<td><%=h user.login %></td>
<td><%=h user.email %></td>
<% form_for user do |f| %>
<% if logged_in? && current_user.administrator? %>
<td>
<%= f.check_box :administrator %></p>
</td>
<% end %>
<div id="functions">
<td><%= link_to ''Delete'', user, :confirm =>
''Are you sure?'',
:method => :delete %></td>
<td><%= link_to ''Save'', user, :action =>
:update %></td>
</div>
<!--<td>
<p><%= submit_tag ''Save'' %></p>
</td>-->
<% end %>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>

It will simply make a request. You should use submit_tag. With submit_tag your code was not working because you have to mention, which action should request go when submit a form. You have not mentioned any action. So, it''s submitting the form to the current uri which is default one.

No,
I am saying something like
<% form_for :person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f|
%>
Got it,
Yup.

ok, so I tried this.... and the redirect in the controller is now
working, but the database is not updated... which leads me to the
controller code, which must be wrong... here it is:
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:notice] = ''User was successfully updated.''
format.html { redirect_to(:controller => "videos") }
format.xml { head :ok }
else
flash[:notice] = ''unable to update''
format.html { redirect_to(:controller => "videos") }
format.xml { render :xml => @user.errors,
:status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

Hi Sadeesh... thanks for your help
I tried this, and got an error when I tried to update:
"Couldn''t find User with ID=update"
so I modified the code to:
<% form_for user, :url => { :action => "update", :id =
user.id } do |
f| %>
and I got the same result as before... I''m thinking The problem is
probably with the users_controller :update action... which i''ve posted
on this thread... I''ll continue to investigate
thanks again
