I have a form for @topic that contains two fields, name(string) visible(boolean)
When the user submits the form, I want to manipulate the contents of the attribute :name (which I am able to do - but it's the next part I'm stuck on) -and then- see if a record with the contents of :name already exists -if it already exists- I want to simple add my user association to it (which I can do by: current_user.topics << @topic) -if it does not exist- then I want to create it as normal find_or_create_by_name(params:topic) doesn't seem to work... are there any other ways to achieve this? (nube alert!) Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
