[Rails] Sending parameters to controller using link_to but getting the variable name itself.

Ruby on Rails Wednesday, June 22, 2016

Hi,

I'm not using any form in this web page. I only have labels, text boxes and links with parameters.
The text_field code is
<div class="field">
                    <%= label_tag("Member code") %>
                    <%= text_field_tag :member_code, nil, class: 'form-control'    %>
</div>

The link_to code is

<%= link_to "Joint and Personal loan (Ajax not implemented)", jlpl_prints_path(member_code: 'member_code'), :class => "btn btn-danger", method: :post %>

in the controller I printed member_code to verify whats the value I'm getting.
member_code = params[:member_code]
puts"***********Inside controller member_code received is #{member_code} **************"

The thing is its printing the output in the console as
**************Inside controller member_code received is member_code******************

Why is that? I've filled text_field with value 180 but I'm getting the variable itself but not the value of it. Is form_tag is necessary to get this to work?

Thank you.
