Hi, Colin, you see, I think that listing permitted fields all over again in the controller can be viewed as repetitiveness. Ideally, model would just accept the bulk of fields coming from the outside, validate their presence + conformance, and yell if it isn't the case. How it is being done now ensures greater flexibility in that controller can massage + glue up several fields into one etc. before passing them all to the model. This is good, and I'm not saying this functionality shouldn't be available, but in the simplest case, Post.save(params[:post]) should just do the obvious by adhering to convention over configuration. Just my opinion.
p.s. I don't believe I've top-posted in this thread? Well, unless you believe that a few of my quote-less posts, such as this one, are top- posting. I simply click "reply" under relevant post. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
