Good evening!
Does anyone have a spare second to help a Ruby, Rails noob? I would
really appreciate it.
here is the chunk of code in my view relevant to my problem
<% if user.banned_status == "false" %>
<%= link_to "Inspect products/orders",:controller =>
"users", :action => "inspect_vendor", :id => user.id, :method => :post
%><br />
<%#= button_to "Inspect", :action => 'inspect_vendor', :id =>
user.id %>
<% end %>
here is the users controller
def inspect_vendor
vendor_id = params[:id]
session[:ispected_vendor_id] = vendor_id
redirect_to :controller => "products", :action => "index"
end
here is the index action in the products controller
def index
vendor_id = session[:user_id]
@logged_vendor = User.find_by_id(vendor_id)
if @logged_vendor.admin_status == "true"
vendor_id = session[:inspected_user_id]#admin inspects a vendor
end
@search_results = find_products(vendor_id)
#puts session.inspect
case @search_results
when :no_search
when :empty_query
flash.now[:notice] = "You haven't searched for anything."
when :no_results
flash.now[:notice] = "No results found."
when :results_found
flash.now[:notice] = "Results found!"
end
end
private
def find_products(vendor_id)
if params[:search].nil? # The vendor is on the index page and
this isn't a search
@products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id)
return :no_search
elsif params[:search] == "" # The vendor has searched using an
empty string
@products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id)
return :empty_query
else
@products = Product.search(params[:search].upcase) # A
regular search
if @products.empty?
@products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id)
return :no_results
else
return :results_found
end
end
end#find_products
What I'm trying to do is:
The admin has a list of vendors.Each vendor has an account on the
site.The admin decides to inspect the products of a surten vendor.and
he clicks on the link inspect_vendor.
My problem is> When i hover over this link is shows a different vendor
id like it suppose, like /users/inspect_vendor/4?method=post. But no
matter on which link I click it takes me to the products page, but it
shows the books that a specific vendor has(vendor with id=5)
Can you make some sense of this? Please help!
a billion thx in advance,
radu
