HELP! I'm a relatively new rails user and I'm stuck. I'm trying to build a relatively simple blog and I decided that I liked the way named routes look in the code. So I added
map.resources :posts
to my routes.db file. I then went through and updated my controller to take advantage of the named routes that were generated. I also updated all of my views and everything was working nicely. Except when I try to edit an existing post. For some reason it just doesn't want to do anything. Below are the relevant (I think) parts of the PostsController:
class PostsController < ApplicationController layout "blog" before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :show] before_filter :find_post, :except => [:index, :new, :create]
def edit end
def update if @post.update_attributes(params[:post]) flash[:notice] = "Post Updated" redirect_to post_url(@post) else render edit_post_url end end
protected
def find_post @post = Post.find(params[:id]) end end
Here is edit.hrtml
<h1>New Post</h1> <% form_for(:post, @post, :url => post_url(@post), :html => {:method => 'put'}) do |f| %> <%= render :partial => "form", :object => f %> <% end %>
And the form partial...
<p> <label for='post_title'>Title</label><br /> <%= form.text_field :title %> </p> <p> <label for='post_permalink'>Permalink</label><br /> <%= form.text_field :permalink %> </p> <p> <label for='post_abstract'>Abstract</label><br /> <%= form.text_area :abstract %> </p> <p> <label for='post_body'>Body</label><br /> <%= form.text_area :body %> </p> <p> <%= submit_tag %> </p>
Have I done something stupid? I get the feeling I probably have and it's making the edits not work.
