Simple_form bootstrap

Hello,

I've installed the Simple_form correctly and everything seems to be fine, but the forms are still not working with bootstrap.

Here is my code:

<%= simple_form_for(@status, html: {class: "form-horizontal"}) do |f| %>  
  <% if @status.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
  <h2><%= pluralize(@status.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this status from being saved:</h2>

  <ul>
  <% @status.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
    <li><%= msg %></li>
  <% end %>
  </ul>
</div>
   <% end %>


      <%= f.input :user_id %> 
   <%= f.input :content %>
   <div class="form-actions">
    <%= f.button %>
  </div>
<% end %>

So nothing of this seems to work, my status page dosen't turn up horizontal, and the f.button gets an error on the page Any clues? Thanks

hi Marcus, you f.button is wrong it should be :

    <%= f.input :content %>
    <div class="form-actions">
       <%= f.button :submit %>
    </div>

make sure that bootstrap is loaded correctly, if it was try re-generating it with the bootstrap option on: 

 rails generate simple_form:install --bootstrap

then generate your forms again if you get stuck refer to simple_form and bootstrap documentation: https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form
