Thanks for the reply!
I am not quite sure what you meant with 'calling a Model method
directly', probably this one, or?
<%Watchedfamily.create!(params[:watchedfamily]) %>
So I already changed my code as you can see below. Is that still Code
Smell or is that better?
<%= button_to "Save Patent",
:controller => "watchedfamilies",
:action => "create",
:watchedfamily => {
:Prio_No => @Prio,
:title => @title.join(","),
:watchedmembers_attributes => @fam_pubs
}%>
There is another problem I found: If I use my above code to send more
data with one click to my database I get an "URI Too Large" error. How
can I avoid that? Or how can I store a lot of data without a large
URI???
My @fam_pubs array is very large!!!
