Hi there,
I can't seem to get form_for to work correctly with the URL I'm providing for a
set of nested resources. Here's what I'm doing in routes.rb:
resources :threads do
resources :messages
end
And then I've got the following form that I'm building as part of
/threads/1/messages/1/edit. Both @thread and @message are set by the controller
....
<%= form_for @thread, :as => :thread, :url => thread_messages_path(@thread,
@message) do |f| %>
<%= fields_for :message do |m| %>
.....
<% end %>
<%= submit_tag "Update Message" %>
<% end %>
This is producing the following HTML:
<form action="/threads/1/messages.1" class="thread_edit" id="thread_edit"
method="post"><div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline"><input
name="_method" type="hidden" value="put" />
Notice that while the HTTP method is correctly PUT, the form action ends in .1
instead of /1, which is confusing the router.
Curiously, the 'new' case seems to be getting properly constructed, though I
had to manually specify the :method to properly generate the URL:
<%= form_for @thread, :as => :thread, :url => thread_messages_path, :html =>
{:method => :post} do |f| %>
<%= fields_for :message do |m| %>
...
<% end %>
<%= submit_tag "Create Reply" %>
<% end %>
Am I doing something obviously wrong or is this a deficiency in the path
convenience methods? Note that I am using ":as =>" all over the place because
the name of my model object (which is actually "Axthread") does not cleanly map
to a named route, and using "thread" as a model name is not an option.
