邮箱：在产品页面上创建指向新会话的链接

Question

I am working on a marketplace. I have a page with all the products.

I want to create a link on each of this product, to allow user to send message to the seller, creating a new conversation.

I am thinking about creating a link with that:

<%= link_to "Contactar", new_conversation_path %>

But can i put in this link the recipient directly ?

If yes, what should i change in the conversation_controller ?

def new
  recipients = Product.where(user: params[:user_id])
end

def create
  receipt = current_user.send_message(recipient, params[:body], params[:subject])
  redirect_to conversation_path(receipt.conversation)
end

Answer 1

But can i put in this link the recipient directly ?

Yes! You can pass the individual recipient id directly in the link like below

<%= link_to "Contactar", new_conversation_path(recipient_id: @your_recipient.id %>

And access the recipient's id with params[:recipient_id] in the new method.

Answer 2

Here is what i finally written:

On my product listing

<%= link_to "Contact", new_conversation_path(recipient_id: service.user.id) %>

In the conversations_controller:

def new

@recipient = params[:recipient_id]
end

def create
receipt = current_user.send_message(@recipient, params[:body],     params[:subject])
redirect_to conversation_path(receipt.conversation)
end

So now on the conversation new page, the url show: /conversations/new?recipient_id=
