Hi all, I have a app with the /tests/new location which renders the add new form. This all works perfectly so when i fill the form in it goes straight into the db but i want the form to store the data in session[:whateverfield] i.e. session[:id], session[:title], session[:name], etc Then pass this the session values to display on a preview info page. Which then the user can edit the session. Once the form is ok then it can be submitting to the db. So i guess the form i have doesn''t need to be changed due to the fields i need are there already but obviously when i press submit button it add the info to the db and not the session, is there something i have to change i.e. the form_for link etc. Any help will be great Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Either that or extend the existing actions to do one or the other as appropriate. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Colin,
Sorry i understand bits but I''m still new at rails. I see the form
action is /tests and the form POSTs i.e.
tests GET /tests(.:format) tests#index
POST /tests(.:format) tests#create
<---- this one
POST /tests(.:format) tests#save
<-------- new one
new_test GET /tests/new(.:format) tests#new
edit_test GET /tests/:id/edit(.:format) test#edit
test GET /tests/:id(.:format) tests#show
PUT /tests/:id(.:format) tests#update
DELETE /tests/:id(.:format) tests#destroy
root /
tests#index
So i can create a action save which saves to the session, then the
preview just retrieves the session values and links to edit, continue
then the last one gives a page to submit the session values to the db
with tests#create.
Does this sound ok? Also the above routes are not in the routes.rb so
where are these stored?
Thanks

It takes a :url option which you can use to specify a named route. Have a look at the docs for form_for. When you are trying to get it to work look at the html of the page to check it is right.
