Greetings everyone,
This post has been moved (on suggestion) from the Ruby forum.
I can't pass updated/changed values from the form elements to the ActiveRecord. However something is going through because the table's update_when column is registering the date/time of the update, but otherwise no data revisions to other columns transpire. Have tried using form_for helper as well, but the same results.
This is all new to me, so not sure what additional info will be relevant. But am using Ruby 1.8.6 with a local MYSQL 5.1 database thru a Radrails IDE. My apologies for whatever info I have ommitted. Any suggestions on where I have gone astray will be most appreciated.
Thanks, Bill
CONTROLLER:
class FileController < ApplicationController
def edit @file = File.find(params[:id]) end
def update @file = File.find(params[:id]) if @file.update_attributes(params[:file]) redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @file else render :action => 'edit' end end end
VIEW:
<% form_tag (:action => 'update', :id => @file.id) do %>
<p><label for="file_description">Description</label><br> <%= text_area 'file', 'description' </p>
<%= submit_tag 'Save changes' %> <% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', {:action => 'list'} %>
