I’m trying to add 2 checkboxes to the edit user registration form but the attributes don’t get updates when I submit the form. It says “”twitter_share”=>”1”, “facebook_share”=>”1″,” but this doesn’t register in the database.
What am I doing wrong??
Form:
<h2>Edit <%= resource_name.to_s.humanize %></h2>
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :validate => true, :html => { :method => :put }, :html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %>
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
<p><%= f.check_box_tag(:twitter_share) %>
<%= f.label_tag(:twitter_share, "Share to Twitter") %></p>
<p><%= f.check_box_tag(:facebook_share) %>
<%= f.label_tag(:facebook_share, "Share to Facebook") %></p>
<p><%= f.label :email %><br />
<%= f.text_field :email %></p>
<p><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></p>
<p><%= f.label :username %><br />
<%= f.text_field :username %></p>
<p><%= f.label :bio %><br />
<%= f.text_field :bio %></p>
<p><strong>In order to change password:</strong></p>
<p><%= f.label :password %> <i>(leave blank if you don't want to change it)</i><br />
<%= f.password_field :password %></p>
<p><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></p>
<p><%= f.label :current_password %> <i></i><br />
<%= f.password_field :current_password %></p>
<p><strong>---------------------------</strong></p>
<strong>Avatar</strong></br />
<div class="avatar">
<%= image_tag(@user.avatar_url(:avatartiny).to_s) if @user.avatar? %>
<%= f.file_field :avatar %>
<%= f.hidden_field :avatar_cache %><br />
</div><br />
<p><%= f.submit "Update" %></p>
<% end %>

Note how the
twitter_shareandfacebook_shareparameters are outside of theuserparameters:They need to be inside the
userparameters.So, replace
f.check_box_tagwithf.check_boxfor this to work properly.Example:
<%= f.check_box :twitter_share %>
