Try this:
class ObjectivesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :require_user
layout false
def create
objective = current_user.objectives.create(params[:objective])
end
end
And as others have said, don't overwrite AR class methods like
'create', otherwise you will enter a world of pain.
Also, you are deleting a param called 'freq_options', if the model
does not need it then it shouldn't be in the hash. If the controller
needs it, then pass it as params[:freq_options] rather than params
[:objective][:freq_options]. If it's not used there, then why pass it
at all?
