@trainee is an instance of User class
my form partial code :
<% form_for :@trainee, :html => {:class =>
''generalform''} do |form| %>
<%= render :partial => "form", :object => form %>
<%= form.submit "Register", :class => ''go''
%> <%= link_to
''Cancel'', trainees_path %>
<% end %>
the generated html is obviously :
<form id="new_user" class="generalform"
method="post" action="/users">
but I would like to send it to a trainee_controller (rather than to
user_controller... )
(don''t want to subclass, I am using roles, and a trainee is a user
with ''trainee'' role
is it possible ?if yes, how should I proceed ?
many thanks ba

Re: form_for url.. how to send data to another controller
Erwin,
If I understand what you are trying to do then I was trying to solve a
similar but lesser problem. How to send form data from one method in a
controller to another method in the same controller Iit does seem to
work for your case though). Here is a sample erb:
gather.html.erb
<h1>Gathering transient data</h1>
<% form_tag(''transient/show'') do %><!--sends to the
show method of the
transient controller-->
<p>
<b>First Name</b><br />
<%= text_field_tag "firstname", TransientData.firstname %>
<br/><b>Last Name</b><br />
<%= text_field_tag "lastname", TransientData.lastname %>
<%= submit_tag "Submit" %>
</p>
<%end%>
show.html.erb
<h1>Gathering transient data</h1>
<% form_tag(''/transient/gather'') do%> <!--and back
to gather-->
<p>
<b>First Name</b><br />
<%= TransientData.firstname %>
<br/><b>Last Name</b><br />
<%= TransientData.lastname %>
<%= submit_tag "Submit" %>
</p>
<%end%>
If I change either erb file''s line:
<% form_tag(''/someothermodel/somemethod'')
It did swap form data between controllers.
I hope I understood your question. I am new to ruby.

Thanks Colin... I looked into it in parallel ... not obvious but I
found the solution (many tries.. as it''s not the
''standard'' way.. but
I''m just writing a quick app draft)
<% form_for :tutor, @tutor, :url => { :action => "create" }
....
for new/create records
<% form_for :tutor, @tutor, :url => tutor_path(@tutor), .. for edit/
update
@tutor being a User instance...

thanks .. got it.. see my answer to Colin.... the doc info is not obvious... I had to read between lines and test test test ...many different options to watch the generated html.... but it works well now... ( I keep the ''recipe'' in my NoteTaker ;-))) On 10 oct, 20:18, Cris Shupp <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Erwin, > > If I understand what you are trying to do then I was trying to solve a > similar but lesser problem.
