def create
@addpost = Post.new params[:data]
if @addpost.save
flash[:notice] = "Post has been saved successfully."
redirect_to posts_path
else
flash[:notice] = "Post can not be saved, please enter information."
end
end
If the post is not saved then it redirects to http://0.0.0.0:3000/posts , but i need to stay on the page, with text input fields so that user can input data.
post model
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comments
validates :title, :presence => true
validates :content, :presence => true
validates :category_id, :presence => true
validates :tags, :presence => true
end
new method
def new
@arr_select = { 1=>"One",2=>"Two" ,3=>"Three" }
@categories_select = Category.all.collect {|c| [ c.category_name, c.id ] }
end
new.html.erb
<h3>Add post</h3>
<%= form_tag :controller=>'posts', :action=>'create' do %>
<%= label :q, :Title %>
<%= text_field :data, :title, :class => :addtextsize %><br/>
<%= label :q, :Content %>
<%= text_area :data, :content, :rows=>10 , :class => :addtextarea %><br/>
<%= label :q, :Category %>
<%= select :data, :category_id, @categories_select %><br/>
<%= label :q, :Tags %>
<%= text_field :data, :tags, :class => :addtextsize %><br/>
<%= label :q, :Submit %>
<%= submit_tag "Add Post" %>
<% end %>
What should i do ?
flash.now
with render
is what you're looking for.
flash.now[:notice] = "Post can not be saved, please enter information."
render :new
Also instead of
flash[:notice] = "Post has been saved successfully."
redirect_to posts_path
you can just write
redirect_to posts_path, :notice => "Post has been saved successfully."
and it will do the same thing. It works only with redirect_to
though, not with render!
