I have a method in my controller that would apply to all fields that use the auto_complete plugin def auto_complete_for object = params[:id].split(''_'')[0] method = params[:id].split(''_'')[1] table = object.to_s.camelize.constantize.table_name object.to_s.camelize.constantize::init( @lang ) tables = object.to_s.camelize.constantize::tables if tables.include?( "#{table}_#{method}" ) etc... So in my template I have: <%=text_field_with_auto_complete :sample, c, {:skip_style=>true} %> but the ajax request is not right. It says http://localhost:3000/echantillons/auto_complete_for_sample_technique and the parameters are Parameters: {"sample"=>{"technique"=>"test"}} whereas I think it should say http://localhost:3000/echantillons/auto_complete_for/sample_technique with parameters {"id"=>{"sample_technique""}} What am I doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
