similar to: creating a form_for with field values?

Hi, I am just ran into the problem that I cannot access helper methods from within a form_for scope. I do have something like the following: <% form_for :potential_buyer, @potential_buyer, :url => { :action => "register" } do |f| %> <%= render(:partial => ''register_form'', :locals => { :f => f } ) %> <% end %> ----- I cannot

Hi there! Im trying to use rjs templates to add form fields to an existing form. So for example a user could fill out a form and optionally hit a link_to_remote and get another set of identical fields to fill before sending. This would mean he/she could add ex. more than one record in the same form. The original form was rendered with form_for and using a partial: <% form_for :example,

Hi I am trying to build a simple app where I''m trying to do pretty what scaffold does. My question is when I am using ''form_for'' how do I return the id while editing the application like its done in the form_tag for example <h1>Editing book</h1> <% form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @book do %> <%= render :partial =>

Hi, I have a resource map like this: map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :sreg10record end So a User is supposed to have (at most) one Sreg10record. The problem is in the views. I tried following this tutorial: http://www.akitaonrails.com/2007/12/12/rolling-with-rails-2-0-the-first-full-tutorial which proposes something like: <% form_for( [@user, @sreg10record] ) do |f|

Let''s say I have: map.resources :teams do |team| team.resources :squads, :shallow => true end When I want to generate a form_for a squad, I need both the team and squad for new/create, but only the squad for edit. This means I need: edit: form_for(squad) new: form_for([team, squad]) This seems not very dry. Is there a more idiomatic way of doing this? Right now,

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

Hi guys, I''m having trouble getting named routes and form_for to play nicely in quite the way I would expect. Here''s a quick summary of what I''ve got going on: Named route: resources :thread, :class_name => "forum_thread" Controller name: forum_thread_controller Model object: forum_thread In both my new and edit actions I''m setting up an

Hi all, The "form_for" helper and its friends "text_field_for" etc generate form fields with names like "forum[title]", i.e. using square brackets to denote attributes on model objects. Now, for the convenience of the user I want to do some simple client-side validation to check that some fields have been filled in. So I am trying to write javascript like "if

I''m getting an error in the partial when i try <% form_for :name do |form| %> <%= render_partial "#{@current_stage}" %> <% end %> So I assume that form_for does not have scope in the partial? If that is the case what are my solutions... Do I have to stick a <% form_for in every partial, or do i just change all my inputs back to text_field

I fully suspect that I''m missing the point here somewhere so I promise I won''t be offended if you tell me I''m being daft. My application rents equipment ... not equipments. So I have the following: map.resources :equipment, :singular => :equipment_instance class Equipment < ActiveRecord::Base class EquipmentController < ApplicationController The

I would like to use form_for in my project so that I can easily change the style of many forms at once. However, it seems to me like FormBuilders only support certain kinds of form elements(!). Surely there must be a way to add arbitrary labels/form elements to a form. Let''s say I had a form that looks like: ID: (plain-text label) Name: (text field) Birthdate: (date chooser) Picture:

Hello, I would like a user to fill out a form (a long contract) and then email it to them, including the new values. So I was leaning towards a partial or layout so I didn''t have to write the contract twice. But that''s where I run into problems. The only difference between the form (contract) and the email are the form tags will be replaced with their actual values. For

In a form_for context, is there a way to access objects that are related to the primary object with a belongs_to? I think an example will serve best: class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person attr_accessor :username end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user attr_accessor :first_name end <% form_for :user do |form| %> <%= form.text_field

Hi, How can I add a class to a form generated thus: <% form_for :applicant, :url=> {:action => "index"} do |f| %> I tried: <% form_for :applicant, :url=> {:action => "index"}, :class => ''test'' do |f| %> but this didn''t work. Thanks for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have 2 controllers foo, bar and I''m using searchlogic gem to search products inside both controllers. All works great but I want to implement now custom form_for from foo view to search products for bar controllers, how to do this ? I try something like this: <% form_for @search, :url => {:controller => "bar", :action => "index"} do |f| %> but its

Hello, I am trying to install my login and search forms as default parts of the layout. This is the code I am using: <% form_for :user, :url => {:action => ''authenticate''} do |f| %> <p>Username:<br /><%= f.text_field :username, :size => 30 %></p> <p>Password:<br /><%= f.password_field :password, :size => 30

when we have validate_presence_of :name in the model and then when we put in the create action that we re-render ''new'', then the form_for will populate the fields, and error_messages_for ''story'' will have the correct error message. this is really great, and and the same time, this looks like magic... i found that many books don''t explain how the magic

Seems the only issues I ever have with Rails are these bizarre fiddly little things that make no sense. Can''t for the life of me understand why I''m getting undefined method on form_for in a view? And it''s actually part of the acts_as_authenticated plugin that''s doing it. But how can it not know about form_for? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m stumped on how to get past this. It''s Rails 2.0.2. I have a class, Show. Using STI, I''m using that as a base class, and have DayShow and NightShow that inherit from it. ### class Show < ActiveRecord::Base end class DayShow < Show end ### In my shows/edit.html.erb, I have: <% form_for(@show) do |f| %> However, when I use it with a @show that has

If you run form_for(@post, :remote => true) {|f| ... } you will get "ActionView::Template::Error (You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]=)" My patch fixes this error.
