Hi,
Still learning rails and have a basic question. Can I pass any variable
thru the params hash to an action?
eg "in_progress"
View:
<%= f.submit "Add image/video", :in_progress=> "true"
%>
Controller:
def update
@question = Question.find(params[:id])
if params[:in_progress] == "true"
@question.attributes = params[:question]
if @question.save(:validate => false)
redirect_to gallery_path(session[:minisection_id]), id:
"image_gallery"
end
else....
Im trying to set flag to bypass validation and redirect in update
action.
Thanks

Rails has a helper for that: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#method-i-hidden_field -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I did try that. For some reason update action does not see
params[:in_progress] == "true" as true. It is
''true'' in params hash
though. Any other thoughts? Been trying to figure this out all week.
In view:
<%= f.submit "Add image/video", :id=>
''add_image_commit'' %>
jQuery sets hidden field "in_progress" to true:
$("#add_image_commit").on "click", (event) -> # User
clicks "Add image"
button.
$("#in_progress").val("true")
hidden field IS set to true.
In controller:
def update
@question = Question.find(params[:id])
if params[:in_progress] == "true"
@question.attributes = params[:question]
if @question.save(:validate => false)
redirect_to gallery_path(session[:minisection_id]), id:
"image_gallery"
end
else.....
Params hash:
in_progress: ''true'' commit: Add image/video _wysihtml5_mode:
''1''
action: update controller: questions
