Hello,
I think this is an easy one for the average Rails developer but I''m a
bit stuck.
I''m creating a simple voting app: any user can create a survey, with
any number of questions, and other users can then vote by creating a ballot for
that survey.
Here''s the modeling:
class Survey < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :questions
has_many :eligibilities
has_many :ballots
accepts_nested_attributes_for :questions, :allow_destroy => true
attr_accessible :title, :description, :status, :deadline,
:questions_attributes
def owner
Person.find(owner_id)
end
end
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :survey
has_many :preferences
end
class Ballot < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :survey
has_many :preferences
end
class Preference < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :ballot
belongs_to :question
end
To be clear: a survey is the set of questions and a ballot is a voter''s
set of answers (preferences).
I''m using the nested route: /surveys/[:survey_id]/ballot/new for the
voting page.
What I''m having trouble with is pre-populating the ballot with empty
preferences. When ballot/new is called, I do this:
def new
@survey = Survey.find(params[:survey_id])
@ballot = @survey.ballots.build
# Prepare the ballot
for question in @ballot.survey.questions
p = Preference.new
p.ballot = @ballot
p.question = question
@ballot.preferences << p
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @ballot }
end
end
and on the ballot/new.html.erb page, I try this:
<%= form_for [@survey, @ballot] do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :preferences do |preference_form| %>
<%= preference_form.fields_for :question do |question_form| %>
<p>
<%= question_form.label :question %><br />
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"Yes") %> Yes
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"No") %> No
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"Decline") %> Decline
</p>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Vote" %>
</div>
<% end %>
But this merely shows one set of radio buttons with no question text, though
I''ve confirmed the @survey.questions are populated with questions.
Does anybody see what I''m doing wrong here? My guess is looking at the
new.html.erb is going to really show off something incorrect.

I think this is related to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5914736/rails-3-undefined-method-model-name-for-arrayclass
.
I decided to change my ../ballot/new controller to:
def new
@survey = Survey.find(params[:survey_id])
@ballot = @survey.ballots.build
# Prepare the ballot
@ballot.preferences = @survey.questions.map{|question|
question.preferences.build}
#for question in @ballot.survey.questions
# p = Preference.new
# p.ballot = @ballot
# p.question = question
# @ballot.preferences << p
#end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @ballot }
end
end
And the new view to:
<%= form_for [@survey, @ballot] do |f| %>
<%=h @ballot.preferences[0].question.inspect %>
<%= f.fields_for @ballot.preferences do |preference_form| %>
<%= preference_form.fields_for :question do |question_form| %>
<p>
<%= question_form.label :question %><br />
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"Yes") %> Yes
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"No") %> No
<%= radio_button("preference", "preference",
"Decline") %> Decline
</p>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Vote" %>
</div>
<% end %>
And now I receive the error:
undefined method `model_name'' for Array:Class
for the fields_for line.
My guess is @ballot.preferences isn''t a proper set of instances but
just an array, though my Ruby on Rails skills aren''t good enough to
figure this out. Any ideas?
