I am building message app in rails where user can send message from templates. I have a database of templates, and the user can select templates as per category.
In my message model, I want to render the template dynamically based on category selected. I looked for examples on google, but was not able to find a relevant solution.
This is my message form:
<%= form_for @message, :html => {:multipart => true} do |m| %> <%= m.select :biz_case, options_for_select(Message::Bcase), :prompt => "Select business case" %> <%= m.text_field :subject, :class => "message-text", :placeholder => "Subject" %> <div class="message-body"> <%= m.text_area :message, :class => "message-body", :class => "redactor", :placeholder => "Your content" %> </div> <%= m.select :user_type, options_for_select(Customer::CType), :prompt => "Customer segment" %> <%= m.submit %> <% end %>
In the above form, I am looking to display the subject and body based on the selected business case. Something like:
if biz_case == "promote" subject = @template.subject where ("biz_case = ?", "promote") message = @template.content where ("biz_case = ?", "promote") end
The subject and message would be displayed in input text fields.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
