im using
<%= button_to ''Rent'', :controller =>
''transaction'' , :action => ''rent'',
:id => @product.id %>
on ProductsController to pass an :id to a TransactionController
but when searching for the product''s id
def load_product
@product = Product.find(:id).id
end
i get Couldn''t find Product with ID=id Error
i tried using @product = Product.find(1).id for testint an worked, also,
the URL is ok
transaction/rent/1
controller/action/id
BTW, how can i turn that button_to onto a link_to that works with an
action outside self controller

Also why have you got .id on the end, that means it will find the product (once that bit is working), look up the id and save it in @product. I would have expected to see just @product = Product.find(params[:id])> > BTW, how can i turn that button_to onto a link_to that works with an > action outside self controllerJust specify the controller in the link as you have done for the button. If the code you have shown is in the transaction controller/view then you do not need to specify the controller. Also have a look at the rails guide on Routes to see more sophisticated ways of specifying paths in links. On a side note it is arguably better not to put two questions in one message. The two sets of replies will get mixed up in the thread and can be difficult to follow. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I presume the fix was to use param[:id]. If all you need is the id itself why are you bothering to say Find the record with id params[:id] and then take the id of it? Why not just use params[:id] in the first place? Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
