Question

I have a User model with name, email, password, and bio.

I want to have two kinds of edit forms. One for editing email, bio and the other for just password.

So my question is really two parts.

A) If the update_attributes fails in update method, how to render the correct page, instead of just edit. This is my current update method.

def update
  if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
    flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
    sign_in @user
    redirect_to @user
  else
    render 'edit'
  end
end

B) How do I have route like /users/1/edit for change_password method? So I want something like /users/1/change_password.

---

B) match '/users/:id/change_password', to: 'users#change_password' did the job.

Answer 1

redirect_to edit_user_path(@user)

Should work.

Also I would change your change_password routes to be like this:

resource :users do
  member do
    put 'change_password'
  end
end

Which is a more Rails-y way of doing things. Then, you can do

redirect_to change_password_user_path(@user)
