I have the following in my routes.rb :
match 'admins/approve' => 'admins#approve', :as => :admins_approve, :method => :post
In my admins_controller.rb I have :
def approve
render :update do |page|
page << "alert(" + params[:note] + ");"
end
end
in my admins/index.html.erb :
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<tr>
<td class= "action_add_note">
<%= form_tag admins_approve_path, :id => "form_note_#{user.id}", :remote=> true do %>
<%= text_area_tag 'note' %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to_function content_tag(:i, "", :class => 'icon-ok' ),
"$('#form_note_#{user.id}').submit();", :class => "btn"%>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
I know I can use button instead of function but it is not the case here , anyways whenever I submit it I get wrong path somehow and the following error :
ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template admins/update, application/update with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:js, "application/ecmascript", "application/x-ecmascript", :html, :text, :js, :css, :ics, :csv, :png, :jpeg, :gif, :bmp, :tiff, :mpeg, :xml, :rss, :atom, :yaml, :multipart_form, :url_encoded_form, :json, :pdf, :zip], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}.

Take out the link_to_function and add this to your form_tag
<%= text_area_tag 'note' %>
<%= submit_tag "Submit %>
<% end %>
In your admin controller
def approve
@note = params[:note]
current_user.update_attribute(:note, @note)
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
Then create an approve.js.erb file
alert("<%= j(@note) %>");
