Hi Rick, Do you have validations in you models? I mean like validates_presence_of :forum_id
Besides that, I'd do a @topic.posts.new instead of Post.new And third, please do a @forum = Forum.find(params[:forum_id]) And fourth, maybe its params[:topic][:forum_id] ?? ciao, tom On Feb 1, 4:25 pm, rick_2047 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > I'm building a discussion forum in my rails app and there seems to be > a problem in creating a new topic in the forum. > I'm using three models for it forum, topic and post. > The topic model has following fields: > t.integer :forum_id > t.integer :user_id > t.string :name > t.datetime :created_at > t.datetime :updated_at > t.integer :posts_count,:null => false, :default => 0 > > the problem comes when i try to create a new topic in a forum.
