I have a form with fields from several models present.
My model relations are:
addresses has_many contacts
contacts has_one user
user belongs_to contact
contact belongs_to address
The code below works fine, but it''s ugly.
I think I ought to be able to just save the address, and everything
else should work automatically, but it doesn''t. (The address gets
written to the database, but not the user or the contact.)
E.g. I would like to write:
Address.transaction do
@address.save!
end
rather than:
Address.transaction do
@address.save!
@contact.address_id = @address.id
@contact.save!
@user.contact_id = @contact.id
@user.save!
end
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction here...
Regards,
Chris
Working code:
the registration controller''s method is:
def register
if request.get?
session[:user_id] = nil
@user = User.new
@contact = Contact.new
@address = Address.new
else
@user = User.new params[:user]
@contact = Contact.new params[:contact]
@address = Address.new params[:address]
Address.transaction do
@address.save!
@contact.address_id = @address.id
@contact.save!
@user.contact_id = @contact.id
@user.save!
end
session[:user_id] = @user.id
render :action => :registered
end
#rescue
end
and the template''s code is:
<% @page_title = ''register''%>
<%= error_messages_for ''user'' %>
<%= error_messages_for ''contact'' %>
<%= error_messages_for ''address'' %>
<%= form_tag %>
<p>name:<br />
<%= select ''contact'', ''title'', %w{ Mr
Miss Mrs Ms Dr Prof Sir } %>
<%= text_field ''contact'', ''firstname'',
:size => 15 %>
<%= text_field ''contact'', ''lastname'',
:size => 15 %>
<p>phone:<br />
<%= text_field ''contact'', ''phone'', :size
=> 10 %>
<p>email: <span class="note">(needed to login to this
site)</span><br
/><%= text_field ''user'', ''email'',
:size => 20 %></p>
<p>password:<br /><%= password_field ''user'',
''password'', :size => 10
%></p>
<p>address:<br />
<%= text_field ''address'', ''line1'', :size
=> 20 %><br />
<%= text_field ''address'', ''line2'', :size
=> 20 %><br />
<%= text_field ''address'', ''town'', :size
=> 20 %><br />
<%= text_field ''address'', ''county'', :size
=> 20 %><br />
<%= text_field ''address'', ''postcode'',
:size => 10 %><br />
<p><%= submit_tag ''register'' %></p>
<%= end_form_tag %>
