Okay, so what do I mean by an "inverse partial"? I've got a situation
where I want to wrap the content of multiple views in a single controller
with a common form_for block that includes some other HTML markup as well
as the Submit button and Cancel link. I'm trying to find a DRY approach.
Let's say the controller has three actions: building, rent, and timing.
Each of these provides some form fields to edit a few related attributes of
a single model. I want to use the same form_for block and submit/cancel
stuff for each of the three views. I can't figure out how to effectively
wrap the specialized view content for each action with the common form
stuff.
I tried using a _form partial and content_for:
<% content_for :terms do %>
# specific content for each action
<% end %>
<%= render :partial => 'form' %>
Where _form.html.erb is:
<%= form_for :proposal ... do |f| %>
<%= yield :terms
<%= f.submit "Save" %>
<%= link_to "Cancel" %>
<% end %>
This fails, complaining about the reference to the local :f variable in the
specific view content. It seems that content is processed first, not in
the context of the _form partial.
Can anyone recommend an approach that will let me re-use the outer form_for
and other mark-up?
Thanks,
Chris
