I finally got my votes being submitted correctly via ajax, however I can' seem to unvote at all. Here's my models:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_voter
end
class Vendor < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_voteable
end
My routes:
resources :vendors do
collection do
post :vote_for_vendor
delete :vote_against_vendor
end
end
My controller:
class VendorsController < ApplicationController
def vote_for_vendor
begin
vendor = Vendor.find(params[:vendor_id])
current_user.vote_for(vendor)
render :nothing => true, :status => 200
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
render :nothing => true, :status => 404
end
end
def vote_against_vendor
begin
vendor = Vendor.find(params[:vendor_id])
current_user.vote_against(vendor)
render :nothing => true, :status => 404
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
render :nothing => true, :status => 404
end
end
end
My view:
<table class="table table-condensed table-hover">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>Favorite?</th>
</tr>
<% @vendors.each do |v| %>
<tr>
<td><%= v.name %></td>
<td><%= v.address %></td>
<td id="toggle">
<% if current_user.voted_for?(v) %>
<%= button_to "Unlike", { :controller => :vendors, :action => 'vote_against_vendor', :vendor_id => v.id},
{ :method => 'delete', :remote => true }%>
<% else %>
<%= button_to "Like", { :controller => :vendors, :action => 'vote_for_vendor', :vendor_id => v.id},
{ :method => 'create', :remote => true} %>
<% end %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
So how can I unvote for a vendor? I read in the thumbs_up docs that by default a voter can only vote once. Does this mean that a user who votes_for can't then vote_against? The purpose of my implementation is to have a favorite or like button.
Here's what I'm getting from the server upon clicking 'Unlike':

Pro Tip: Read through the documentation very thoroughly before you look silly and ask a dumb quesiton. Just use the unvote_for
method to get this done. Not sure how I missed it the first time.
In vote_against_vendor
, directly after you call vote_against
, you do this:
render :nothing => true, :status => 404
When you should probably do this:
render :nothing => true, :status => 200
