I've used a form successfully in embedded Ruby that looks like this:
<%= form_for :comment, url: user_comments_path do |c| %>
<%= c.text_field :location %>
<%= c.text_field :title %>
<%= c.text_field :body %>
<%= c.submit ("Submit") %>
<% end %>
However when I tried to put this into Bootstrap I came up against problems. I then tried to make a simpler HTML form like this:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="user/comments" method="post">
<input id="comment_location" name="comment[location]" type="text"/>
<input id="comment_title" name="comment[title]" type="text"/>
<input id="comment_body" name="comment[body]" type="text"/>
<input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create"/>
</form>
...but I came up against the same error message: No route matches [POST] "/users/1/comments/new/user/comments". I am using nested resources, and Rails routes in the terminal tells me that the user_comments path 'POST' equates to user/user_id/comments and the Create controller action.
In my HTML form if I enter action="user/comments" then the resulting path is "/users/1/comments/new/user/comments", if I enter action="comments" the path is "/comments", and if I enter "/" the path is "/". The path that I'm trying to reach is "user/comments" but there seems to be no way there through my HTML form.
I've racked my brains but I can't understand why this might be. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
ps. Routes look like this:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'sessions/new'
get 'welcome/index'
root 'welcome#index'
get 'user' => 'users#show'
get 'login', to: 'sessions#new'
post 'login', to: 'sessions#create'
delete 'logout', to: 'sessions#destroy'
get "log_out" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "log_out"
get "log_in" => "sessions#new", :as => "log_in"
get "sign_up" => "users#new", :as => "sign_up"
root :to => "users#new"
resources :users do
resources :comments
end
resources :sessions
end
