Hang in there a little longer.
If you want the user to first fill in 3 fields, then proceed to another
form to fill out the rest of the fields it will look something like
this:
(You got the first part working, and the 3 fields are submitted to the
controller, right?)
the controller action that receives those parameters will need to render
a new form, which are then submitted to a second controller action. you
could use the same controller action for both steps, but lets use two
for simplicity.
in the controller:
def register_1 #Receives the first 3 fields
@user = User.new(params[:user])
#Now register_1.html are rendered
end
register_1.html must now contain a form looking something like this:
<% form_for(@user, :url => {:action => 'register_2'}) do |form| %>
#Because the user is not saved in step 1, this form must contain hidden
fields with the value of the fields from step_1
<%= form.hidden_field(:name) %> #etc
#Put the rest of the fields here, just like in the first form
<% end %>
The second controller action receives the complete user info and saves
the user
def register_2
@user = User.create(params[:user])
#Maybe a flash and a redirect here
end
Rails uses the MVC architecture, so you need to learn how the models,
controllers and views interact before you start getting the hang of it.
