Question

I’m getting an ActionviewTemplate error when trying to POST using an ajax response. The ‘create’ method keeps looking for the default create.js.erb file but I’ve specifically pointed to the file it should render.

I tried adding “end and return” to my respond_to blocks but nothing happens.

Started POST "/appreciations" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-11-25 13:30:09 -0700
  Processing by AppreciationsController#create as JS
  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"T3PeKRaSJSrESFTOCQ7+4LiM4BKaWkcaQ6cXpSqK38k=", "appreciation"=>{"liked_id"=>"75"}, "commit"=>"Like"}

Answer 1

Your params check is incorrect; liked_id is nested within the :appreciation hash.
