form_for but to post to a different action

Question

I want to have a form_for @user, but post to a custom action in the users controller.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

If you want to pass custom Controller to a form_for while rendering a partial form you can use this:

<%= render 'form', :locals => {:controller => 'my_controller', :action => 'my_action'}%>

and then in the form partial use this local variable like this:

<%= form_for(:post, :url => url_for(:controller => locals[:controller], :action => locals[:action]), html: {class: ""} ) do |f| -%>
