Routing form submission to a different controller

Question

How do I specify the Controller and Action in a form submission? I am trying to use a \'Clients\' Controller to create an Account and an associated Person (\'Client\').

Answer 1

You have to say this in routes.rb

resources :clients

In the form, specify the url as clients_path with method as post:

<%= form_for @account, :url => clients_path, :html => {:method => :post} do |f| %>
 ---
<% end
