add a task to todo

[steven masala]

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_toaction => "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

Can you please take your Rails questions to the Rails mailing list?

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_toaction =3D> "list")
else
render_text"could not add"

should be

if tasklist.save
redirect_toaction =3D> "list")
else
render_text "could not add"
end # <=3D added this

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