Question

This is probably simple, I’m still coming to terms with rails syntax. What is the right syntax to pass the address_id in the url for form_for to a modified route?

This is the form – note the “address_id parameter”

  <div class="one_fourth floatcenter">
    <%= form_for address, :url => edit_address_path(:id => address.id), :method => :get do |f| %>
        <%= content_tag(:button, :class => 'btn btn-inverse') do %> Edit Address
        <% end %>
    <% end %>
  </div>

And this is the route I’ve configured:

get "edit_address/:id" => "member/addresses#edit"

Id is not being passed to the controller for some reason…

Answer 1

form_for address should be enough if address is a persisted object, but if it’s not enough, then form_for address, url: edit_address_path(address) is what you want.
