Hi Fred,
Thank you so much for the quick response. It was quite helpful. I
really wanted to test this out with out upgrading to the newer
version. I made the changes to view/params
submittal and the controller code and now it seems to be working. I
can see two saved records after a create event.
new.html.erb:
<% form_for( @user,
:url => { :action => 'create',
:first_name => @user.first_name,
:last_name => @user.last_name,
:home_phone => @user.home_phone,
:work_phone => @user.work_phone,
:cell_phone => @user.cell_phone,
:email => @user.email,
:profile_name => @user.profile_name,
:active => @user.active,
:address1 => @address.address1,
:address2 => @address.address2,
:city => @address.city,
:state => @address.state,
:country => @address.country
}
) do | f |
%>
----- rest of the form fields ---
In the users_controller.rb, removed the previous build invocation and
put these lines of code to manually set the FK for the association.
def create
Rails.logger.debug(params)
@user = User.new
@address = Address.new
@user.first_name = params[:user][:first_name]
@user.last_name = params[:user][:last_name]
@user.profile_name = params[:user][:profile_name]
@user.home_phone = params[:user][:home_phone]
@user.work_phone = params[:user][:work_phone]
@user.cell_phone = params[:user][:cell_phone]
@user.email = params[:user][:email]
@user.active = params[:user][:active]
@address.address1 = params[:user][:address][:address1]
@address.address2 = params[:user][:address][:address2]
@address.city = params[:user][:address][:city]
@address.state = params[:user][:address][:state]
@address.zip = params[:user][:address][:zip]
@address.country = params[:user][:address][:country]
respond_to do |format|
if @user.save
@address.user_id = @user.id
if @address.save
flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.'
Thanks again for the excellent comments,
best regards
