Hi Bryan,
Thanks for looking at this.
The tip on 'rake routes' really helps.
I tried different variations of your suggestions. The
users_controller.rb
stumbled on
if valid?
so I stripped everything out and just tried:
def login
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html { hobo_login }
wants.js { hobo_ajax_response }
end
end
The above did give me an AJAX response, but did not log me in.
So, I ended up not adding the above to the users_controller.
The partial I am loading, 'padlogin' has this in it:
<login-form update="archsignup" />
That, in combination with changing the form definition and adding the
<do> statement
have gotten me to the point where I get logged in, and it is with an
AJAX method.
However, I can not get the 'def login' in users_controller working
where I can do
the next step of actually loading in another partial into the <div
id="archsignup">,
where everything is landing.
So, if you happen to have one last thought on that I would be
interested in hearing it.
Cheers,
Jet
