I have a friendships_controller
but I would like to call its create
and destroy
actions from inside the users_controller
. Actually, the way I have things set up, the create
method works fine, but destroy
does not.
users/index
<%= button_to "+ Add Friend", :controller => "friendships", :action => 'create', :method => "post", :id => user.id %>
<%= button_to "- Unfriend", {:controller => "friendships", :action => 'destroy'}, :confirm => "Are you sure you want to unfriend #{user.username}?", :method => :delete, :id => user.id %>
If I click the Unfriend button I get the follow rails exception:
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in FriendshipsController#destroy
Couldn't find User with ID=destroy
This is the destroy
action within friendships_controller
:
def destroy
@accepting_user = User.find(params[:id])
@friendship = Friendship.find_by_accepting_user_id_and_requesting_user_id(@accepting_user.id, current_user.id)
@friendship.destroy
flash[:notice] = "You unfriended #{@friendship.accepting_user.username}."
redirect_to(:back)
end
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks.
UPDATE
Friendship routes:
rake routes | grep friendship
friendships_index GET /friendships/index(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"index"}
friendships GET /friendships(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"index"}
POST /friendships(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"create"}
new_friendship GET /friendships/new(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"new"}
edit_friendship GET /friendships/:id/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"edit"}
friendship GET /friendships/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"show"}
PUT /friendships/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"update"}
DELETE /friendships/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"friendships", :action=>"destroy"}
Got it working, just had to move where I was passing in the :id
Final result looks like:
<%= button_to "- Unfriend", {:controller => "friendships", :action => 'destroy', :id => user.id}, :confirm => "Are you sure you want to unfriend #{user.username}?", :method => :delete %>
