Hi All
I'm trying to combine the from_for and select helpers
Right now I have form_for :service, :url => ...... do |f|
select("abc", "xyz_id", @my_arr.collect {|item| [ item, "bla" ] }, {:prompt => "opt1"} )
.... end
What I want to do is something like
.... f.select("abc", "xyz_id", @my_arr.collect {|item| [ item, "bla" ] }, {:prompt => "opt1"} ) ....
(this doesn't work) I've tried many things but I cannot get this to work, any suggestions ?
thnx a lot LuCa
You shouldn't need that first parameter (which effectively provided by the form_for)

Show us the whole form_for call please.
Tell us about the error--what's the message, and which line causes it?

I'm using rails 2.0.2 In the view(haml):
- form_for :xyz, :url => my_url(params[:my_id],@vals), :html => {:method => 'put', :multipart => true} do |f| f.select("xyz_id", @my_arr.collect {|item| [ item, "bla" ] }, end
The ERROR:
undefined method `merge' for [["A", "bla"], ["B", "bla"], ["C", "bla"]]:Array

And in the controller/action I have
@my_arr = %w(A B C)
Hopefully it makes it makes sense
What do you want the user to see in the drop-down? What do you want stored in the xyz_id field of your @xyz object? I'm having a hard time understanding the .collect call in there.
Does this run without error?
f.select("xyz_id", @my_arr, {:prompt => "opt1"})
Cheers,

if I do that I get the following error
undefined method `xyz_id' for #<Xyz:0x4304cfc

The problem is solved. The problem occured due to the first 2 parameters. For example, this doesn't work select("abc", "abc_id" .....)
but this does select("abc", "def_id" .... )
so now it works for f.select too!
thnx a lot for the help!!

Then something is fundamentally scewed: why are you trying to edit xyz_id if Xyz doesn't have xyz_id column? (also this would probably be a lot easier to follow with 'real' class/column names)
