FactionContent Create (7.4ms) INSERT INTO `faction_contents` (`created_at`, `updated_at`, `english`) VALUES('2010-09-23 19:46:39', '2010-09-23 19:46:39', NULL) no values for 'english' in any of the inserts I think you're over-complicating things... In factions_controller.rb: def create # just grab the hash for the model being saved hash = params[:faction] # do the string to content record id magic hashnew = save_ids(hash) # save a new Faction record Faction.create(hashnew) # find the one just saved @faction = Faction.find(:last, :order => 'id') end And wherever you have this stored: def save_ids(arguments) # saving the content is table agnostic, don't need that parameter # new empty hash to return ret = Hash.new # for the incoming arguments hash arguments.each_pair { |key,value| # store each value in Contents Content.create(:english => value) # find the record just written content = Content.find(:last, :order => 'id') # replace the string just stored with a stringified id from Contents ret[key] = content.id.to_s } # return our new hash return ret end worked for me... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
