I am passing a collection (@feed_items) to a _feed_item partial via the :collection option and converting it to dailypost with :as => :dailypost.
Inside the _feed_item partial I rendered another partial for _like_button, and i used :locals to continue using dailypost.
Everything works fine with the database. Likes get added and taken out :) BUT
I am trying to use (AJAX) to create.js.erb & destroy.js.erb the like button. For some reason only the top post gets updated correctly and i have to refresh the page to see the ones below it.
I know the solution involves assigning a unique post id to each "like" element, say "like-123", but that is where i am stuck.......
I also know that the problem may be in _feed_items.html.erb because i am passing two ids....any suggestions??
Views
_feed.html.erb
<% if @feed_items.any? %>
<ol>
<%= render partial: 'shared/feed_item', collection: @feed_items, :as => :dailypost %>
</ol>
<% end %>
_feed_items.html.erb
<li id="<%= @dailypost.id %>">
<span class="user">
<%= link_to dailypost.user.name, dailypost.user %>
<span class="content"><%= dailypost.content_html %></span>
<div id="like">
<%= render :partial => 'likes/like_button', :locals =>{:dailypost => dailypost} %>
</div>
</li>
_like_button.html.erb
<% if like = current_user.likes.find_by_dailypost_id(dailypost.id) %>
<%= form_for like, :html => { :method => :delete }, :remote => true do |f| %>
<%= f.submit "Unlike" %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<%= form_for current_user.likes.build, :remote => true do |f| %>
<div><%= f.hidden_field :dailypost_id, value: dailypost.id %></div>
<%= f.hidden_field :user_id %>
<%= f.submit "Like" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
create.js.erb
$("#like").html("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'like_button', :locals => {:dailypost => @dailypost}) %>");
destroy.js.erb
$("#like").html("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'like_button', :locals => {:dailypost => @dailypost}) %>");
Controller
class LikesController < ApplicationController
respond_to :html, :js
def create
@like = Like.create(params[:like])
@dailypost = @like.dailypost
respond_to do |format|
format.js
format.html { redirect_to :back }
end
end
def destroy
like = Like.find(params[:id]).destroy
@dailypost = like.dailypost
respond_to do |format|
format.js
format.html { redirect_to :back }
end
end
end
Hmmm.Replace the first-line in _feed_items.html.erb with this.
<li id="dailypost<%= dailypost.id %>">
and In create.js.erb and destroy.js.erb, make changes
$("#like").html(...)
To
$("#dailypost<%= dailypost.id%> #like").html(...)
This should Work.
