Subject: passing values from partial to controller

My partial:


<tr>
  <td class="people_profile">
    <div class="clear_float_effect">
      <div class="profile_block">

            <p>
              <span title="Click to edit" id="edit_location">

<%= link_to grouprow.group_name  %>

</span>
              <a href="#" class="short_description_text btn"
id="edit_group_link"> <%= custom_button('Change') %> </a>



            </p>
          </div>

<div>
  <% form_tag (:controller => "users" , :action => "addfriendtogroups")
do %>

    Add friend:

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :user, 'login', {:size => 20},
{:tokens => ','} %>

    <%= hidden_field_tag :group_name ,grouprow.group_name %>
            <%= submit_tag "Add to group", :class =>
"submit_input_button rounded_corner" %>
<% end %>
</div>

    </div>
  </td>

</tr>



My controller:

 def addfriendtogroups
   @f=User.find_by_login(params[:login])
  @g=Group.find_by_group_name(params[:group_name])


  @addfriend=GroupFriend.create(:user_id => current_user.id,
  :group_id => @g.id,:friend_id => @f.id)

   respond_to do |format|

    if @addfriend.save

    flash[:notice] = "Friend added to group successfully."
  format.html {redirect_to :back}

    end

    end
 end


I get the following error

 RuntimeError in UsersController#addfriendtogroups

Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted
the id of nil, use object_id

Request

Parameters:

{"group_name"=>"testinggroup2",
 "commit"=>"Add to group",
 "authenticity_token"=>"MHB8Ys8vccsGwbgnsb9r5T68oqirPpW6YUscfDojZhY=",
 "id"=>"testing",
 "user"=>{"login"=>"santosh"}}

I need to fetch the id of login (santosh) from users table and id of the
groupname (testinggroup2) from groups and insert the userid, friendid
(id of santosh), groupid (id of testinggroup2) into another table.

Please help. Thanks.
