Rails, Edit page update in a window
- by Mike
I have my code working so that I have a table of businesses. There's a pencil icon you can click on the edit the business information. The edit information comes up in a partial inside of a modal pop up box. The only problem is that once they make the changes they want and click update, it sends them to the 'show' page for that business. What I want to happen is have the pop up box close and have it update the information. This is my update function in my controller.
def update
@business = Business.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @business.update_attributes(params[:business])
flash[:notice] = 'Business was successfully updated.'
format.html { redirect_to(business_url(@business)) }
format.js
else
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
format.xml { render :xml => @business.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
I tried following railscast 43 and i created an .rjs file but I couldn't get that to work at all. My update was still taking me to the show page. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Added some more code.
<% form_for(@business) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
...
<%= f.label :business_category %><br />
<%= f.select :business_category_id, @business_categories_map, :selected => @business.business_category_id %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit 'Update' %>
</p>
<% end %>
This is my form inside of my edit page which is being called through the index in a pop up by:
<div id="popupEdit<%=h business.id %>" class="popupContact">
<a class="popupClose<%=h business.id %>" id="popupClose">x</a>
<% if business.business_category_id %>
<% @business = business %>
<%= render "business/edit" %>
<% end %>
</div>
