    <p>I have a form that shows a list of animals and lets me select multiple animals and do something with them. Within this same form I need to provide a link for each animal in the listing that will post to another controller and action with the id of that animal posted. Therefore I need a link within my other form (no nesting of forms) that will post to the other URL. This is the route I need to post to:</p> <pre><code>animal_medicalrecords POST /medicalrecords/animal(.:format) medicalrecords#animal </code></pre> <p>This is the form in the animals controller and the link_to I have right now that is not working:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_tag(action: "takeaction") do %&gt; ...some irrelevant form stuff ... &lt;% @animals.each do |animal| %&gt; &lt;%= link_to "Add", animal_medicalrecords_path(:animal_id =&gt; animal.id), :method=&gt; :post %&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I click the link it takes me here ../medicalrecords/animal?id=1 and have these parameters: {"id"=>"animal"} So, I am getting an error that says: Couldn't find Medicalrecord with id=animal</p> <p>What am I doing wrong that it is posting "animal" as the id vs. the actual id (which in this case is 1)?</p> <p>UPDATE: Apparently no matter how I change the link_to it keeps trying to go to the "show" in the controller for medicalrecords instead of the animals method.</p> <p>UPDATE: If I nest a form within my form it works fine... but not the first record listed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_tag("/medicalrecords/animal") do %&gt; &lt;%= hidden_field_tag(:animal_id, animal.id) %&gt; &lt;%= submit_tag("Add") %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>But, I can't allow a form within a form. So, I MUST convert this to a link with method of post.</p> <p>The link_to example I've included posts the right parameter with the right value but it posts it to medicalrecords#show instead of medicalrecords#animal.</p> <p>Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?</p>

    1. COI think `/medicalrecords/animal` is going to `MedicalRecordsController#show`' and not `MedicalRecordsController#animal`. Routes are resolved in order in which they are defined. Could you provide the http method of the request? Also, can you inspect the routes to see similar route is defined before?

    2. CO@vss123 You are correct. It is going to the #show vs #animal. With :method=> post I was hoping that the link would use the post method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
