I'm using form_remote_for to create a new object in the beginning, and then if the object already exists, update it. I'm using the REST form so my form looks like this:
<% form_remote_for(@spec) do |form| %> <% end %> with the controller defining the @spec object like so: @spec = (@user.spec ||= Spec.new) I'm not sure if this is the best way, but my main question lies in the implementation of the update action in the spec controller which is called when the form is submitted. This definitely needs to be refactored and I could use some help with the best way: I also created a pastie, which is much easier to read: http://pastie.org/370302 def update respond_to do |format| if logged_in_user.spec.nil? @spec = Spec.new(params[:spec]) @spec["user_id"] = logged_in_user.id if @spec.save format.js do render :update do |page| page.form.reset 'login_form' page.redirect_to user_path(logged_in_user) end end else format.js do render :update do |page| page << "$('message_popup').popup.show();" end end end else if logged_in_user.spec.update_attributes(params[:spec]) format.js do render :update do |page| page.redirect_to user_path(logged_in_user) end end else format.js do render :update do |page| page << "$('message_popup').popup.show();" end end end end end end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
