Question

I have built a very simple blog application using Ruby on Rails. New to both Ruby and Rails so excuse the stupid questions.

I currently have two tables that relate to this question. I have a Post table and a Tag table. Basically I set it up such that Post has_many :tags and Tag belongs_to :post. I am using AJAX to process and display the tags in the show view of the post.

I installed the auto_complete plugin and I am getting an error when I enter the letters in the text_field_with_auto_complete for tag creation. My suspicion is this is because the form is a remote_form_for or something I am doing wrong in the routes.rb. Here is the error and code:

Error

tags_controller.rb (I’ll spare you all the actions but added the following here)

auto_complete_for :tag, :tag_name

routes.rb

  map.resources :posts, :has_many => :comments
  map.resources :posts, :has_many => :tags
  map.resources :tags, :collection => {:auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name => :get }

Answer 1

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find Post with ID=auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name):
  app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:22:in `show'

This shows that rails searching “auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name” method in posts controller so either modify routes.rb

map.resources :posts, :collection => {:auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name => :get }

OR

Change remote form so that it should call method   
"/tags/auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name"
    instead of  
"/posts/auto_complete_for_tag_tag_name"
