The problem of keeping rails

I have a Ruby on Rails page to edit a user profile. The form displays the username and email address correctly. When I change the name in the text box and click update, I am returned to the edit_profile page with the message "Profile updated successfully". The problem is that the value I changed was not saved in the database.

There are no errors and the parameters on the server output look correct.

Handling updates UserController # (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-05-19 22:00:48) [PUT] Parameters: {"user" => {"name" => "new name", "Email" => " test@test.com "}," Commit "=>" Update "," action "=>" update "," _method "=>" put "," Authenticity_token "=>" 59c79fa90aaf5558aaab8cddef6acb7a4c7c55c3 "," id "=>" 1 "," controller "=>" users "}

What am I missing?

edit_profile.html.erb

<% form_for @profile, :url => {:action => "update", :id => @profile} do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %> 
  <p>Name: <%= f.text_field :name %></p>
  <p>Email: <%= f.text_field :email %></p>
  <%= f.submit "Update" %>
<% end %>

      

users_controller.rb

  def edit_profile
    @profile = User.find(current_user.id)
  end

  def update
    @profile = User.find(params[:id])
     respond_to do |format| 
        if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])  
          flash[:notice] = 'Profile was successfully updated.'  
          format.html { render :action => 'edit_profile' }         
        else
          flash[:notice] = 'Profile Error.'
          format.html { render :action => "edit_profile" }         
        end  
      end
  end

      

EDIT: Yes, it was a naming issue, to fix this I changed ...

if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])

      

to

if @profile.update_attributes(params[:user])

Your field names do not match what you pass to the update_attributes method.

Check form field names (using firebug) and there will be "name" etc.

But you are passing an array called "params":



update_attributes(params[:profile])  

      

Form fields must be named "profile [name]" to work correctly.

If you check development.log, you can see that no update is being called.
