Question

Stupid question… I have two forms with two different functions on one page, my views/projects/new.html.erb file. So far I’ve only implemented one, with the option to “Create” a new project. I want to add another function to sort the records displayed on the same page, something like:

<%= link_to "Category", { :controller => "projects", :action => "sortTable", :filter => "Category" }, :remote => true %>

My routes.rb file:

Docside::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :projects
  resources :categories
  #get "home/index"
  root :to => "projects#new"
  match 'project/new',:controller=>"projects",:action=>"create"
end

But I’m getting the error “No route matches {:action=>”sortTable”, :controller=>”projects”}”. When I tried adding ” match ‘project/new’,:controller=>”projects”,:action=>”sortTable” ” my other function didn’t work, and the create function got screwed up. What should I have instead?

Answer 1

Try that:

resources :projects do
  collection do
    post :sortTable
  end
end

And look at this guide
