since post_picture should await post_id as a foreign key, post_picture
will not be saved properly (or at least will not relate to the
specified post) if post is not saved. as long as there aint no post.id
(which is created while saving) you can't save the relation between
these two objects.
i'd say it's best to save @post and after that create @post_picture
and save it as well.
def create
@post = Post.new(params[:post])
if @post.save
@post_picture = PostPicture.new(:uploaded_data =>
params[:post_picture_file])
@post.post_picture = @post_picture
if @post_picture.save
# post and post_picture are saved correctly
# ...
else
# post_picture could not be saved (=> error handling)
end
else
# post could not be saved (=> error handling)
end
end
