okay so i'v searched the net but i couldn't find the help i needed and im not very experienced with the helper tags, so what i'm trying to do is: theres a user so called interface, and there exists a form for user's status, by default its empty and it renders the form, when he inputs the status i want it to be saved and redirected back to his page, or just a page refresh.
the form
<%= form_tag interface_path(@user, username: "username"), {method: :put, class: "form-group"} do %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_field_tag 'status', :status , class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag %>
<% end %>
controller
class InterfacesController < ApplicationController
#before_action :authenticate_user!
def show
@user = User.find_by(username: params[:username])
#@interface = @user.interface
end
def update
@user = User.find_by(username: params[:username])
redirect_to interface_path(@interface)
end
end
P.S having trouble with the correct redirection aswell.
routes
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
root 'posts#index'
#get 'profile/:username', to: 'interface#profile', as: 'profile'
resources :interfaces, only: [:show, :update] , param: :username
#get 'interfaces/:username', 'interfaces#show', as: 'interface'
resources :posts do
resources :comments
end
and rake routes

Try redirect_to interface_path(@user)
Where are you declaring @interface?
