Question

I know this is likely incredibly simple, put I just can’t seem to get my head around it.

So, in a scaffold-generated app, I’m looking to have a link/button in show.html.erb that would change the status_id of the current entry/row to 3.

I understand how to make GET, POST and DELETE commands, put I’m not getting the syntax right for issuing a PUT command to the update method in the controller (link_to, button_to?)

Thanks!

Answer 1

<%= link_to "Update", update_object_path(object), :method => :put %>

Controller

def update
  @obj = object.find(params[:id])
  @obj.status_id = 3
  @obj.update_attributes
  redirect_to :back
end
