Hi Lasse,
thanks for repying.
I have the same for the controller and the view, not sure about the
action.
This is how set about to get there:
% script/generate scaffold_for_view supplier name:string street:string
streetnumber:decimal \
zipcode:decimal city:string mail:string phone:string vat:string
% rake db:migrate
% gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
% sudo gem install view_mapper
% ./script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/auto_complete.git
I add to the supplier model:
has_many :expenses
% script/generate scaffold_for_view expense title:string
amount:decimal payment:string \
description:string category:string subcategory:string date:date --
view belongs_to_auto_complete:supplier
That's it. When I add some suppliers, I can autocomplete them in the
expense form, but when I use a name that's not found, it doesn't get
submitted.
The output of the server script is:

In the first block, the name is still there (tester), but in the
second, it isn't. Why would that be?
Many thanks,
Wim
