Hi Everyone,
I have a simple form
to enter details of a new case (kase), it's working well and clicking submit stores the information and takes the user
to the show.html.erb page. However, I wanted
to move part of the form
to the sidebar -
to make things a little easier
to see and use for the user, however, when I moved the section
to the sidebar - anything entered during either a creation or edit within those sidebar fields is ignored. Any idea how I keep the fields in the sidebar, but include them as before?
<% content_for :header do -%>
Cases
<%
end -%>
<% form_for(@kase) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<!-- #START SIDEBAR -->
<% content_for :sidebar do -%>
<% if @kase.avatar.exists? then %>
<%= image_tag @kase.avatar.url %>
<% else %>
<p style="font-size:smaller"> You can upload an icon for this case that will display here. Usually this would be for the year number icon for easy recognition.</p>
<%
end %>
<div class="js_option">
