I'm assuming you meant hobo_new here, as hobo_create would save to the DB... > This was working in Hobo 0.7.0, but now it doesn't pre-populate the > forms in 1.0.

I can't remember when it was added, but requests to that format of URL (/projects/:project_id/events/new) are now routed to a new_for_project action in the controller; that explains why the view file isn't having an effect. This should do what you're looking for (in EventsController): def new_for_project hobo_new_for :project, Event.new(...set up whatever here...) end --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
