I understand the difference between the two builds as follows: I am assuming you are using nested_attributes and if so then my understanding is that in your controller you will be building the reservation_package object so that your form has something to work with. If you have a has_many association then your controller will use the reservation_packages.build option and if you are working with a belongs_to association then you will find that the build_reservation_package is what is called for. I am new to rails as well, but that is what I have gleaned so far ... hope it helps. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
