Hello…

I have a form:

\<%= form\_for @instruction\_user, :url =\> some\_path do |f|%\>

\<% @users.each do |user| %\> \<%= user.name %\>

\<%= f.input :prio, collection: 1…5, :as =\> :radio\_buttons%\> \<%= f.text\_field :remark%\> \<%= check\_box\_tag “instruction\_user\_ids”, “#{user.id}” %\>

controller: if params[:instruction\_user\_ids] params[:instruction\_user\_ids].each do|user\_id| InstructionUser.create( :user\_id =\> user\_id, :instruction\_id =\> params[:instruction\_id], :remark =\> ???, :prio =\> ??? ) end

1. The table rows are generated, but the attributes :prio\_tl and :remark\_tl are not in. How to write the … take the form\_fields?
2. Both attibutes need some indentifier!? I can not mark the radio-buttons per row seperately…as they have the same id… Would be great to get some idea about the best way to handle the form and controller.

Thanks a lot

Hi Werner,

my dirty solution 🙂

\<%= f.input :prio, :as =\> :hidden %\>

\<%= radio\_button\_tag :prio\_tmp, 1, :onclick =\> “updatePrioHiddenValue(this.value)” %\>

\<%= radio\_button\_tag :prio\_tmp, 2, :onclick =\> “updatePrioHiddenValue(this.value)” %\> …

…

using javascript function to update the :prio hidden value on radio button click.

Thanks David… may be I have to describe it better …

the form:

\<%= form\_for @instruction\_user, :url =\> some\_path do |f|%\>

\<% @users.each do | user | %\>

\<%= f.input :prio, collection: 1…5, :as =\> :radio\_buttons%\>

\<%= f.text\_field :remark%\>

\<%= check\_box\_tag “instruction\_user\_ids”, “#{[user.id](http://user.id/)}” %\>

controller:

params[:instruction\_user\_ids].each do| user\_id |

InstructionUser.create(…:remark =\> ???, :prio =\> ???

1. The f.text\_field :remark returns nothing because its getting overwritten by empty remark fields …needs some . How is the best way?

Tried “text\_field\_tag” and fields\_for instruction with no success. I don’t know how to access the val in the controller.

1. Same with the radio buttons prio + the problem to mark the each line separately…

Would be great to get some idea…

Thanks

You can try using simple\_form\_for instead of form\_for. Check this link :- [https://github.com/plataformatec/simple\_form](https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form)

I have tried:

\<%= form\_tag new\_fb\_instruction\_users\_path, :method =\> :post do %\>

…

\<%= simple\_fields\_for “instruction”, @instruction\_user do |f| %\>

\<%=f. input "remark%\>

controller: …:remark =\> params[:instruction][:remark]

log: “instruction”=\>[{“remark”=\>“test”}

=\> can’t convert Symbol into Integer
