Hi,
I am a bit new at rails, so I''m not sure how to approach this:
I have a view with a search box that calls a controller/model outside
of the view. So the view I am working with is called ''groups''
and I
make a search to people, in another controller. I''d like the result
of the search to get sent back to my view under groups.
Here''s what I have in the view:
show.erb:
<% form_tag ({ :controller=> ''people'', :action=>
''index''}, :method=>
''get'') do %>
<table>
<tr>
<td><label for="search"><font
size="1"><b>Name:</b></font></label></
td>
<td><%= text_field_tag :search_name, params[:search_name]%>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name=> nil %></td>
</tr>
</table>
<%end %>
So instead of the result rendering in index under ''people'',
I''d like
to get the array back and render a list of people in groups. I tried
working with partials, but the issue is I need to get the array back
into this view, so I can pass it to a partial.
My controller code in people looks like this (I put the logic in the
model)
def people_search
@people_tree_searches = PeopleTreeV.search(params[:search_name])
end
end
any pointers are appreciated
thanks
