Rails 3.1.3 I would like to pass the value in an input form to a parameter in function. The value is to be set in <%= text_field_tag :price %> A PayPal official icon initiates the action, ''checkout''. <%= link_to image_tag("https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_xpressCheckout.gif"), :action => ''checkout'' %> Clicking the icon above should pass the value entered in the form. I tried the following def checkout contribution = params[:price] setup_response = EXPRESS_GATEWAY.setup_purchase(contribution, ... ) redirect_to EXPRESS_GATEWAY.redirect_url_for(setup_response.token) end And a callback function as well. def complete contribution = params[:price] purchase = EXPRESS_GATEWAY.purchase(contribution, ... end end But the transaction gives an error saying the value is empty. I guess that I am not passing the input value properly. Could anyone show me how to set the local(?) variable that can be passed to the function, ''checkout'' as well as ''complete'' ??? soichi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
