I thought I was on top of them all, but found another one that has me
completely stumped.
table referral_notes
belongs_to: placement
table placements
has_many: referral_notes
def list_rfn
@placement = Placement.find(:all) # possibly unnecessary
@referral_note = ReferralNote.find(:all,
:include => [:placement],
:conditions => ["placement_id = ?", params[:placement_id] ])
@referral_note_pages, @referral_notes = paginate(
:referral_notes,
:include => [:placement],
:conditions => ["placement_id = ?", params[:placement_id] ],
:per_page => 14)
end
list view (possible multiple records). The main object is the
''placement_id'' (there''s only 1).
If I have a looped structure, I can make this work but it repeats the
placement record 1 time for each referral_note...
<% for referral_note in @referral_notes %>
<%=h (referral_note.placement.client.wholename) %>
<%=h (referral_note.note_date) %>
<% end %>
but if I take the first line out of the loop...
<%=h (referral_note.placement.client.wholename) %>
<% for referral_note in @referral_notes %>
<%=h (referral_note.note_date) %>
<% end %>
it errors - not having a definition for ''referral_note.''
so I try
<%=h (@referral_note.placement.client.wholename) %>
and I still get error...
NoMethodError in Referral_notes#list_rfn
Showing app/views/referral_notes/list_rfn.rhtml where line #16 raised:
undefined method `placement'' for #<Array:0xb7a9d904>
Extracted source (around line #16):
16: <td><%=h (@referral_note.placement.client.wholename)
%></td>
as if it lacks knowledge of the relationship for ''placement''
and I have had too many issues working with the ''many''
relationships of
referral_notes in the placement controller and have settled on the
thinking that relationships are easiest when working in the controller
that ''belongs_to'' side of the relationship.
how/why does it not understand the relationship placement here?
