Question

Currently I have the situation that one button is add to the index-form. This workes perfectly in combination with the other functionalties as search and checkboxes which are also part of the index-form.

Code of the index.html.erb:

<%= form_tag order_path, :method => 'get' do %>    
    <p>
      <%= submit_tag "Historical Search", :account_short => nil %>
       <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
    </p> 
<% end %>

<%= form_tag sendnext_order_path, :method => :put do %>
    <%= submit_tag "Send to Desk" %><br/>
    -- other code from index-form
<% end %>

Combined with the controller:

def sendnext
    Order.update_all(["status_id = ? ", "2"], :id => params[:order_ids])
    redirect_to order_path, notice: 'Order succesfully send to desk.'
 end

Now I want to add a second button next to the Send to Desk button with another action than the excisting working one. Until now I’m not capable to realise this.

Please advice. Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks for your help. I have found a working solution which realised my current requirements:

The index.html.erb looks like the following:

<%= form_tag updateorder_order_path, :method => :put do %> 
   <%= submit_tag "To Desk" %><br/> 
   <%= submit_tag "Cancel Order" %> 

   -- other code like data fields

 <%end %>

The controller.rb looks like the following:

  def updateorder   
    if params[:commit] == "To Desk"
       Order.update_all(["status_id = ? ", "2"], :id => params[:order_ids])
       redirect_to order_path, notice: 'Order(s) successfully send to desk.'
    elsif params[:commit] == "Cancel Order"
       Order.update_all(["status_id = ? ", "3"], :id => params[:order_ids])
       redirect_to order_path, notice: 'Order(s) successfully cancelled.'
    else
       Order.update_all(["status_id = ? ", "5"], :id => params[:order_ids])
       redirect_to order_path, notice: 'Order(s) successfully updated.'
    end
  end  

The routes.rb contains the next code:

     resources :orders do
        put 'updateorder', :on => :collection
     end
