I have a form_for
I'm making in my view helper that is going to let one user promote another user from a group.
def promote_button_for(group, user)
membership = group.get_membership( user )
form_for membership, :url => group_membership_path( group, membership ) do |f|
f.hidden_field :group_creator
hidden_field_tag 'test', '1'
f.submit( "Promote", :onclick => "return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to promote #{user.email} to an officer?\")" )
end
end
When I submit the form via the button, I don't seem to get any of the hidden field parameters sending to the controller.
Started POST "/groups/1/memberships/6" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-02-01 01:45:32 -0600
Processing by MembershipsController#update as HTML
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"VQl/rVX8OVOETv2HE7KtopUc3B19ShoMkUhjJwNlaZs=", "commit"=>"Promote", "group_id"=>"1", "id"=>"6"}
The generated Html looks like:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/groups/1/memberships/6" class="edit_membership" id="edit_membership_6" method="post">
<div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" />
<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="put" />
<input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="VQl/rVX8OVOETv2HE7KtopUc3B19ShoMkUhjJwNlaZs=" />
</div>
<input id="membership_submit" name="commit" onclick="return confirm("Are you sure you want to promote [email protected] to an officer?")" type="submit" value="Promote" />
</form>
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
Can you try
f.hidden_field :group_creator, {:value => ''}
You are having this problem because the form_for
object is only seeing the string that is generated by the last f.submit
tag, while everything else between the form_for
and the f.submit
is lost.
In this case, the form_for
tag does not manipulate the view directly, as it is basically just a string that is returned from the promote_button_for
method.
The answer is that you just need to chain the generated tags together, like this:
def promote_button_for(group, user)
membership = group.get_membership( user )
form_for membership, :url => group_membership_path( group, membership ) do |f|
f.hidden_field(:group_creator) << \
hidden_field_tag('test', '1') << \
f.submit( "Promote", :onclick => "return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to promote #{user.email} to an officer?\")" )
end
end
Notice the << \
, which concatenates all the generated strings together and returns them to form_for
.
