So I would like to be able to update a record without having to load the
edit page. Lets use checking out a book as an example. From the front
page of my application I would like to be able to have a form field
where I can enter a record id and select one of a couple of check boxes
and then hit submit which will update the associated record with the
action selected by the check box (check out, check in, etc). I am
assuming I need to use a form_tag but I am not sure how to go about
writing the controller and I am assuming I will need to do some custom
routing.
def update
@barcode = params[:barcode]
@checkout = params[:checkout]
@book = Book.find(:first, :conditions => {:barcode => [...@barcode]})
@book.update_attributes(params[:book])
end
