In the Form, you can set two buttons with a different text
Accept
Reject
I presume that could be
submit_tag("Accept")
submit_tag("Reject")
with the appropriate html around it.
Then when the user clicks one of the two buttons, you will get a POST
request that will contain params and one of the params will have the key
"commit"
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"eW3HL1vjUzTcqpFvDcXnu9rGGUhFFe6vcwqfaA/4nWE=",
"user"=>{"first_name"=>"Peter", "last_name"=>"V",.. }, "commit"=>"Accept"}
So in the action if you can check
params[:commit]
which should be either "Accept" or "Reject" and can use that for your logic.
as in
case params[:commit]
when "Accept"
# do the accept
when "Reject"
# do the reject
else
# should not occur (but it can in certain circumstances)
end
HTH,
Peter
