RoR - Adding form over a static page - html

Question

Can someone tell me how do I add a simple form in my rails app? I created a form on a separate page and it works fine, but how do I implement it on my static page?
My app/views/contact/_form.html.haml
.container
%h1 Contact
= simple_form_for #contact, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f|
= f.input :name, :required => true
= f.input :email, :required => true
= f.input :message, :as => :text, :required => false, :input_html => {:rows => 10}
.hidden
= f.input :nickname, :hint => 'Leave this field blank!'
.form-actions
= f.button :submit, 'Send message', :class=> "btn btn-primary"
My contacts controller:
class ContactsController < ApplicationController
def new
#contact = Contact.new
end
def create
#contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
#contact.request = request
if #contact.deliver
flash.now[:error] = nil
else
flash.now[:error] = 'Cannot send message.'
render :new
end
end
end
Where I want to add the form, (index.html.haml)(static page)
#callouts2
.callout_inner
.wrapper
.callout
=render 'contacts/form'
My routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
resources :posts do
member do
get "like", to: "posts#upvote"
get "dislike", to: "posts#downvote"
end
resources :comments
end
authenticated :user do
root 'posts#index', as: "authenticated_root"
end
resources "contacts", only: [:new, :create]
root 'pages#index'
I also have another 'Thank you for your message' page in views/contact/create.html.haml, I need to redirect them to that page as well.
EDIT: I added a =render 'contacts/form' inside my index page but it gives me an error:
ArgumentError in Pages#index Showing
C:/Sites/blogger/app/views/contacts/_form.html.haml where line #3 raised:
First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty Trace of
template inclusion: app/views/pages/index.html.haml

Answer 1

If your form is called "_form", You could do something like:
render "form"
I'm not familiar with haml, not sure what other syntax is required, but that is how you add a form into a page.
