Button_to uses POST Link_to uses GET, why? ROR
link-to, ruby-on-rails
Solution
I think your html options have to be in a separate hash from your url options:
<%= link_to 'pdf', {:controller => 'inventories', :action => 'getquote'}, {:method => :post } %>
I looked all over for a proper example, with no luck. For my code, I've mostly given up and just use the new style:
<%= link_to 'Delete', custom_event, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>
Problem
I've ran into a ror problem using the link_to. Why does my link to use the GET method and my button_to use the POST method, after I specified my "method"=>"post" within the link_to parameters? View: ``` <%= button_to "pdf", :action => 'getquote' %> <%= link_to 'pdf', {:controller => 'inventories', :action => 'getquote', :method => :post } %> ``` Controller Method: ``` def getquote @cart = find_cart respond_to do |format| format.pdf end end ``` Terminal Output (Button/Link, respectively): ``` Processing InventoriesController#getquote (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-01-30 01:38:02) [POST] Parameters: {"action"=>"getquote", "authenticity_token"=>"D2cwnHyTHgomdUM3wXBBXlOe4NQLmv1Srn0paLbExpQ=", "controller"=>"inventories"} Processing InventoriesController#show (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-01-30 01:39:07) [GET] Parameters: {"method"=>"post", "action"=>"show", "id"=>"getquote", "controller"=>"inventories"} ```
