Ok,
thanks for your help.
so I'm trying to get one of the values out of 'params' before updating
the record, and then use the value of the param to change other params
before saving the record.
# the record I'm saving
@event = Event.find(params[:id])
# look at different model called venue to see if there are any with
the same name
@venue = (Venue.where(:venueName => @event.venue))[0]
# if there are venues of the same name as the event I'm trying to
save, copy longitude and latitude values from venue to event.
if @venue
@event.update_attributes(:city_location => @venue.city_location)
@event.update_attributes(:longitude => @venue.longitude)
@event.update_attributes(:latitude => @venue.latitude)
end
#save the event
if @event.update_attributes(params[:suggested_event])
If I say that the event is at a venue called 'Warehouse 54', I want to
go and search all my saved venues looking for 'venue 54', and then
filling in other values in the 'event' according to what saved for that
venue.
"Either params doesn't contain what you think it is and so the call to
update_attributes doesn't do anything,"
Params doesn't contain what I want it to - it's not going and filling in
the other values
Any advice on how to look at, and alter the params being updated before
they're updated?
Thanks
