Hi all,
I've got a feeling this is a quite simple question, but after searching
for an answer don't know where to start!
What I'd like in my app is to have a button, that the user can press,
which then runs a function, and then refreshes the page. The function
itself will go off and look at another url, and possibly save some data,
but I haven't got that far yet, I cant even get it to run a function.
my view code (index) looks like this
...
<%= button_to("BAnd Name", :action => 'search_url') %>
...
my controller code has the 'search_url' function
def search_url
render 'index'
end
loading the page gives the error
No route matches {:action=>"search_url", :controller=>"edinburgh"}
which suggests it's trying to go to the page edinburgh/search_url, I
dont want it to do this, just run the function, then render index again,
is this possible?
Should I be using a different function to search_url?
Or am I missing something very basic about how websites receive
commands, does every function I execute have to be run from a url
address?
What if I want to pass in arguments to the function, such as
{:action=>"search_url(:bandName => 'The Beatles')"} is this possible??
so many questions, sorry just don't know where to begin!?
