Question

My Artist conroller, edit method looks like this

  def edit
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
  end

In the view (artists/edit.html.erb), I have:

<%= form_for(@artist) do |f| %>

  <ul>
    <li class="clearfix">
      <%= f.label :name %>
      <%= f.text_field :name %>
    </li>
    ...
  </ul>

  <%= image_submit_tag('update.png', :class => 'submit') %>    
<% end %>

However, when rendered. The form element submits to the user controller, update method (i.e. ).

How do I make it submit to the artist controller, update method instead?

Answer 1

I think you want to change the form_for parameters :

<%= form_for(@artist, :url => edit_user_path(@artist)) do |f| %>

  <ul>
    <li class="clearfix">
      <%= f.label :name %>
      <%= f.text_field :name %>
    </li>
    ...
  </ul>

  <%= image_submit_tag('update.png', :class => 'submit') %>    
<% end %>

Cf http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#method-i-form_for

Also, are you sure your @artist points to @user ? I think you meant, in your controller :

@artist = User.find....
