I have had the worst time getting my forms to accept input for more
than one model. I tried using accepts_nested, and other techniques
and finally got it all working. But it was not fun. I never did get
accepts_nested working!
To help you get accepts_nested working, since that is so much easier than
the alternatives if you can get it working, please watch the following
railscast:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/196-nested-model-form-part-1
If you have a strong aversion to watching a screencast, you may instead
substitue the asciicast:
http://asciicasts.com/episodes/196-nested-model-form-part-1
That should be enough to get accepts_nested_attributes_for working, at least
in the way it was intended to work.
If you have further questions after watching that, please let us know.
The next railscast/asciicast covers a bit more of the topic, but is probably
not relevant for your purposes, as it sounds like you plan on having only
say a single subform per child model.
I hope that helps. If not please try following along with it, so you get
confortable with how it is used in that case, and then ask any more specific
questions.
Perhaps you want to post attributes for a parent model to a child model.
That is tricker, and something we could help you with.
