Rails 3.1.3
I have succeeded to 'create' a new entry using jQuery Ajax.
If users create new entries from
<div id="script_new"> <%= form_for script, :remote => true do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :video_id %> <%= f.text_field :startp, :readonly => true %> <%= f.text_field :text %> <%= f.submit "save"%> <% end %> </div>
, the newly created ones will show up in the list
<table> <% for script in scripts %> <tr> <td><%= script.startp %></td> <td ><%= script.text %></td> <td><a href="#" class='edit_text' >edit</a></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', script, :class=>'small', :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %></td> </tr> <% end %> </table>
I have wrote a JavaScript (jQuery) to add table elements to it.
Now my question is
How can I 'edit' (or 'update') the listed entries above?
Clicking the 'edit' button shown above will retrieve the corresponding listed entry (script) from the table into the 'create' form. Well, users may or may not change the entry (script) there. Then, naturally they click the 'save' button.
So I need a controller action that works as both 'save' and 'update'.
My 'create' action is follows.
def create @script = Script.new(params[:script]) #HERE!!!!!!! respond_to do |format| if @script.save format.json { render json: @script, status: :created, location: @script, notice: 'Script was successfully created.' } else format.html { render action: "new" } format.json { render json: @script.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end
Script object calls for a new instance there. So I'm guessing that it'll need to be
@script = Script.find(params[:id])
depending on the condition. But I have no clue from here to achieve 'save' or 'update' action.
Could anyone give me tips?
