Question

Can I have both index and create actions in the index view?

Answer 1

A:

Try something like:

<% form_for Post.new do |form| %>

(Insert fields here:)    

<%= form.label :fieldname %>
<%= form.text_field :fieldname %>

<%= form.submit "Create" %>

<% end %>

Add this to app/views/posts/index.html.erb.

Following up on this: so the Home controller has 2 actions: 'index' and 'create'. The 'index' action lists some Posts and has a form at the bottom to create a new Post. When you create a post here, it doesn't seem to use the 'create' action in the Home controller, but rather the one in Post controller? How can I make it use the 'create' action in the Home controller if there's where the post was created? I'm guessing something needs to be changed in routes.rb?

You could create a route specific for the form in question, and do something like `form_for Post.new, :url => { :controller => "home", :action => "create" }`.

Answer 2

A:

Yes you have both index and create actions in the index view.

display list in a index.html.erb then form to create a new post.

after creating new post redirect to index action only.
