Why doesn't this link_to url helper update the boolean record?

Question

Thanks in advance. Tried to provide as much detail as possible. Attempting to create a link that updates a boolean record in a database. Basically, someone can mark a gift as purchased without going a separate form. I've done this in the past with post and delete links without problems. :post not accepted by controller (only

I get: 'Gift was successfully updated.' message after clicking but the database is not updated.

<%= link_to "Mark Purchased", user_gift_path(@user, gift, :purchased => true), :method => :put %>

Controller: Uses InheritedResources Gem

class GiftsController < InheritedResources::Base
  belongs_to :user

  # redirects to gifts upon update
  def update
    update!{ collection_url }
  end

end

Works in Console

>> g=Gift.last
=> #<Gift id: 32, subject: "Birdbath", note: "Saw this at store ", created_at: "2010-01-09 18:52:48", updated_at: "2010-01-09 20:10:24", photo_file_name: "Birdbath.jpg", photo_content_type: "image/jpeg", photo_file_size: 7203, photo_updated_at: "2010-01-09 18:52:48", user_id: 18, store_id: 2, sku: "111390", product_url: "http://www.store.com/birdbath-kyoto-greensto...", price: 130.95, purchased: false, size_color: "blue">
>> g.purchased=true
=> true
>> g.save
=> true
