New to RoR here. I need to execute two actions with one click.
Basically when a link/button is clicked, I need to populate two
different div in the same page, both of them being two different
resources. I would like to do this in AJAX.
So far I could do the job with one resource. I have one controller
called "map", this is the erb that it shows when its index method is
called:
<div id="columns">
<div id="side">
<div id="university">
<% if @university %>
<%= render @university %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<table>
<% @universities.each do |university| %>
<tr>
<td><%= university.name %></td>
<td><%= university.city %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Summary', university, :remote
=> true %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
</div>
</div>
The div "university" is rendered correctly with AJAX, I have a
_university.html.erb view in the universities view folder. What I
would like to do now is to populate a second div clicking the button
summary, one click two actions, something like the following:
<div id="columns">
<div id="side">
<div id="university">
<% if @university %>
<%= render @university %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<table>
<% @universities.each do |university| %>
<tr>
<td><%= university.name %></td>
<td><%= university.city %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Summary', university, :remote
=> true %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<div id="infoWindow2">
<% if @data_point_entry %>
<%= render @data_point_entry%>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
What do you suggest to do in this case? I thought I could use a custom
action in the map controller that would take care of displaying both
divs but then I wouldn't know how to deal with AJAX. On the top of
that, I don't know if this would be a best practice.
Suggestions?
