Hi, I have tried to set up a separate section of my app using a subdirectory called controlpanel to manage various parts of the site.
I've set up the namespace in my routes.rb
map.namespace :controlpanel do |submap|
submap.resources :pages
# other controllers
end
And placed the controller and views into the relevant subdirectories.
Controlpanel::PagesController
def new
@page = Page.new
end
def create
if @page = Page.create_with_author(current_user, params[:page])
flash[:notice] = 'Page was successfully created.'
redirect_to ([:controlpanel, @page])
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
Using this mixed in class method
def create_with_author(author, params)
created = new(params)
created.author = author
if created.save
created
end
end
And the view (controlpanel/pages/new.html.erb renders a partial called _form
<%= render :partial => 'form' %>
Which is as follows:
<% semantic_form_for([:controlpanel, @page]) do |form| %>
<% form.inputs do %>
<%= form.input :title %>
<%= form.input :body %>
<% end %>
<%= form.buttons %>
<% end %>
If I fill in the form correctly, it works as expected, redirecting me to the new page, however, if I leave fields blank, violating the validation constraints, I get the following error:
RuntimeError in Controlpanel/pages#create
Showing app/views/controlpanel/pages/_form.html.erb where line #1 raised:
Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
Can anyone see what is going wrong?
I'm using the formtastic plugin to create the form, but it still happens if I use a regular form.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
