so i must be doing something wrong. I put this in my routes.rb
post '/goals/building/build(.:format)', :to => "goals/build#create" and when i enter "http://localhost:3000/goals/building/build"; in the browser, it seems to be going through the create action def create @goal = Goal.create redirect_to wizard_path(steps.first, :goal_id => @goal.id) end because it is redirecting me to the first step of the wizard. But it doesn't create a blank goal and the :goal_id parameter isn't being overwritten so i'm getting a "Can't Find Goal with ID=building" error. There are no errors in the create action. Below is the full controller. class Goals::BuildController < ApplicationController include Wicked::Wizard steps :length, :type, :info before_filter :set_goal_id, only: [:show, :update] def show render_wizard end def update params[:goal][:user_id] = current_user.id params[:goal][:status] = step.to_s params[:goal][:status] = 'active' if step == steps.last @goal.update_attributes(goal_params) render_wizard @goal end def create @goal = Goal.create redirect_to wizard_path(steps.first, :goal_id => @goal.id) end def finish_wizard_path dashboard_path end protected def set_goal_id @goal = Goal.find(params[:goal_id]) end def goal_params params here end end On Monday, August 19, 2013 11:28:03 AM UTC-7, Rob Kaufman wrote: > > Hi Hillary, > > What they are proposing could be accomplished one of two ways. > > > 1) Adding a route to your routes file > > > post '/goals/building/build(.:format)', :to => "goals/build#create" > > > 2) modifying to_param to look something like this > > > app/models/goal.rb > > > class Goal > > def to_param > > if new_record? > > 'building' > > else > > super > > end > > end > > end > > > I would go with option 1 since it would have fewer side effects. > > Rob > > On August 18, 2013 at 12:17:13 , Hillary Hueter > ([email protected]<javascript:>) > wrote: > > I'm trying to build an object using a wicked wizard.
