Question

I am using rails3 and I have a user model. This model has a status column. I am showing admin following table

Mary approve reject
John approve reject

Both approve and reject are links. Since clicking on approve will approve user’s record it should not be a get request. It should be a post request. I was thinking to achieve a post request I should make clicking on approve or reject an ajax call.

In the ajax call I would make post call instead of get.

Is this a good strategy? Anyone has any better suggestion.

Thanks

Just pass :method => 'post' to your link_to call:

<%= link_to 'approve', approve_user_path(user), :method => 'post' %>
