Hello,
I am a newbie trying to integrate a legacy schema into
a simple Rails app.
The table "sites" has primary key called, "site_key."
The table is in use by other programs written in other
programming languages so I cannot modify the table.
I ran script generate scaffold site and then added:
set_primary_key "site_key"
to the app/models/site.rb file
The key is a 32 char string that needs to be user
generated
So in app/views/sites/_form.rhtml I added:
<%= text_field ''site'', ''site_key'' %>
in the Site Key column, copied from the other fields
in the form. Looks like it should work but upon
browser reload I get an error, undefined method
`site_key_before_type_cast'' for #<Site:0x4081f828>
What does that mean?
Did I make a mistake in my files, or do I need to do
something else to the model to allow for the id to be
editable?
thanks for any help!
Hal
