title: Simple_form passing params to controller - no model
body: <p>I'm trying to pass a value to the controller as a parameter from a simple_form but I'm not able to read the value out. My example form is as such: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= simple_form_for 'page_contact_path', :method =&gt; "GET" do |f| %&gt;
    &lt;%= f.input :name %&gt;
    &lt;%= f.button :submit, 'Submit Form' %&gt;
  &lt;% end %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Controller looks as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def contact
    @name = params[:name]
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am able to access the param using just a regular form_for tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for 'page_contact_path', :method =&gt; "POST" do |f| %&gt;
      &lt;%= label_tag :name, "Full Name: " %&gt;
      &lt;%= text_field_tag :name %&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
      &lt;%= submit_tag "Submit" %&gt;
  &lt;% end %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my view I am just accessing the instance variable @name to see if anything is passed over. Using form_for I am able to get the value back to the view but simple_form passes back nothing. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated. </p>
