Rails 3 - Update multiple records with one form

Question

I'm trying to build a simple inventory app, and I was wanting to have a page with a list of items, with only a name label and an editable box to update the instock amount and a single update button to update them all.

My model is named item and with two fields, name and instock

I'm not sure if you need more info, thanks.

* After playing around with it, I'm able to build the form, but when I click on update, it gives the error: Couldn't find Item with ID=edit_multiple

Here is part of my controller:

   def edit_multiple
 @items = Item.find(params[:id])

And here is my routes.rb

resources :items do
collection do
  get :search
  post :edit_multiple
  put :update_multiple
end

if anyone has any pointers or help, I'd appreciate it.

thanks,

Basically, I can follow along those screencasts up until the submit section, then I'm not getting the edit / update_multiple peiece — rmp

Thanks! I've tried to follow along with those, but I get stuck at the submit action. I'm not following how to edit my routes.rb file to follow along I believe. Here is mine route.rb: ' resources :items do collection do get :search end'

what is the difference between 198 and 165?

I had the same problem, and solved it by manually describing the path to the controller action in the edit_multiple form, like this:

= semantic_form_for :isbn, :url => {:controller => 'isbns', :action => 'update_multiple'}, :html=>{:method=>:put} do |f|
