I''m trying to pass a value from a cookie from the controller into model
by using attr_accessor. But it doesn''t work and I suspect I do
something
wrong.
Is this on the right path?
class Test < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :key
.... key ..
end
class TestController < ApplicationController
def new
@test = Test.new
@test.key = cookies[:my_key]
end
end

It should work. What makes you think it doesn''t? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

But when you say that it should I know I''m on the right track and that the problem is elsewhere.

If the key is logically an attribute of Test then use your method, if you are just putting it there in order to pass it to the view then it may be more logical to use a separate variable.

If so then do as I suggested in my previous post @my_key = cookies[:my_key] and then it will be available in @my_key in the view. I don''t know what you are using the cookie for of course, but have you considered using the session variable instead? That might be simpler if it does what you need.
