This may seem basic but I can't figure it out.
I have a "Write Review" link which looks as follows:
<%= link_to 'Write', new_review_path(@new, :vendor_id => @vendor.id) %>
This creates the URL:
reviews/new?vendor_id=10
All I want is to create a new Review object based on three inputs:
- vendor_id (above)
- user_id (which is working currently)
- @review hash from the form (which is working)
But I cannot get it to store the vendor_id:
def new
@review = Review.new
@vendor = Vendor.find(params[:vendor_id])
@vendor.reviews.create
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @review }
end
end
def create
@review = Review.new(params[:review])
#@vendor = Vendor.find(params[:vendor_id]) #error
#@review = @vendor.reviews.build #error
@review = @current_user.reviews.build #build a review with the current_user id
respond_to do |format|
if @review.save
flash[:notice] = 'Review was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(@review) }
format.xml { render :xml => @review, :status => :created, :location => @review }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @review.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
I am thinking I need to change the url in the form_for, but I'm not clear how. Here is what I have currently:
<% form_for(@review) do |f| %>
......
Can I have some help, please? Thanks!
Here is the view code for new (note: I also created a has_many route so that vendors/1/reviews/new has meaning, although I am not invoking it anymore):
My code in routes.rb:
map.resources :vendors, :has_many => :reviews
My code for views/reviews/new.html.erb:
<h1>New review for <%= @vendor.name%></h1>
Current User ID: <%= @current_user.id %>
Vendor ID: <%= @vendor.id %> <%= @review.vendor.id %>
Current Review ID: <%= @review.id %>
<% form_for @review do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
<%= f.label :summary %><br />
<%= f.text_field :summary %><br />
<%= f.label :pro_review %><br />
<%= f.text_field :pro_review %><br />
<%= f.label :con_review %><br />
<%= f.text_field :con_review %><br />
<%= f.label :detail_review %><br />
<%= f.text_field :detail_review %> <br />
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit 'Create' %>
</p>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', reviews_path %>
