How do I edit one model from another's controller?
I have 2 models, user and group. user has_one group and group has_many users.
I have a admin role, and a group admin role in my can can ability class that I want to be able to remove a user from the group.
I开发者_StackOverflown my show members view in the controller, I have an if statement that adds a remove button next to a user in the list if the viewer is an admin or group admin.
#views/groups/show_members.erb
<% form_for @user, :remote => true, :url => { :controller => 'groups', :action => 'remove_user' } do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :user_id, :value => @user.id %>
<%= f.hidden_field :group_id, :value => "" %>
<%= image_submit_tag("remove-icon.png") %>
<% end %>
#groups_controller.rb
def remove_user
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
@user.group_id = nil
respond_to do |format|
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
format.html { redirect_to(@group, :notice => 'User was successfully Removed.') }
format.xml { head :ok }
else
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
format.xml { render :xml => @group.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The error I get is:
Couldn't find User without an ID

Since you're using form_for, all of values submitted through your f. methods are going to end up in params[:user]
, not in params
. You can either keep the view as-is, and retrieve the value from params[:user][:user_id]
or you can use the hidden_field_tag
helper instead of f.hidden_field
.
