It works :) Awesome!
Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to extract the data in the
controller so that I can update the user.approval value for each
user. This is what's being passed:
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Submit", "user"=>{"6"=>{"approval"=>"1"},
"1"=>{"approval"=>"1"}, "2"=>{"approval"=>"2"}, "3"=>
{"approval"=>"2"}, "4"=>{"approval"=>"2"}, "5"=>{"approval"=>"2"}},
"authenticity_token"=>"39757ec52a8cb0e04a7533686976d49388378c02",
"_method"=>"put", "action"=>"approve", "controller"=>"admin/users"}
Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
~Cheri
