Add a task to todo

ruby-talk
1

hmm no i cant get something else to work

in my controller

  def add_tasklist
    tasklist = Tasklist.new
    tasklist.attributes = @params["new_tasklist"]

    if tasklist.save
      redirect_to(:action => "list")
    else
      render_text"could not add"
  end

in my template

<form method="post" action="add_tasklist">
New Task:
<%= text_field("new_tasklist", "task") %>
<input type="submit" value="Add Task">

my database is todo, the table is tasklist, fields are id, task, done

and i get the following error

SyntaxError in <controller not set>#<action not set>

./script/../config/../app/controllers/tasklist_controller.rb:17: syntax
error

ive tried changing the tasklist to tasklists, im not quite sure what
that means why some are tasklists and some tasklist.

thanx

Steve

In general, I agree with Eric Hodel, you need to take Rails questions
to the Rails mailing list. However, since it's sitting right there, I
will point out the probable culprit:

                if tasklist.save
                        redirect_to(:action => "list")
                else
                        render_text"could not add"

should be

  if tasklist.save
    redirect_to(:action => "list")
  else
    render_text "could not add"
  end # <= added this

In ruby, unlike C or PHP or other languages, the if statement always
has the "end" keyword as a terminator.
