Question

I’m trying to create a very simple email signup form, where the user can just enter their email and press submit.

I’d like the signup form to be a partial, so I can use it anywhere on the site.

Forms are coded like this:
<%= form_for @subscription do |f| %>

How to do tell the form that @subscription is a Subscription.new if, say, the current view, controller, and action is the home page?

Thanks!

Answer 1

As an option you can do:

<%= form_for Subscription.new do |f| %>

One thing though, I haven’t tried this myself. Try it and see if it works.

Edit:

Sorry, I didn’t get the question in the first read.
You can set the @subscription instance variable to Subscription.new in the home controller, and then, pass it to the partial (inside the main view) like this:

<%= render partial, :subscription => @subscription %> 

Hope this helps.
