Hi!
I need to set the primary key in a model and postgres table to something
different than id. View Edit and such works in the scaffolded
controller. However if I click in the controller below the list of data
onto New then I get an error message like this:
Showing app/views/admin/_form.rhtml where line #5 raised:
undefined method `nr_before_type_cast'' for #<Adressen:0x40aa6e8c>
Extracted source (around line #5):
2:
3: <!--[form:adressen]-->
4: <p><label for="adressen_nr">Nr</label><br/>
5: <%= text_field ''adressen'', ''nr''
%></p>
6:
7: <p><label
for="adressen_anrede">Anrede</label><br/>
8: <%= text_field ''adressen'', ''anrede''
%></p>

Adressen.rb looks like this:
class Adressen < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "adressen"
set_primary_key "nr"
end
Which before_ callback do I need to implement to set nr to something
programmatically before the view wants to display text_field
''adressen'',''nr'' and crashes? I tried to use
before_create and set
self.id or self.nr to some string but had no success, same error like above.
Thank you,
Philipp

This implies checking scaffolded sources too. OK. It is working now. However my questions remains, how upon .new do i create a new id/nr by myself? I used before_create and id/nr stays empty when it shows up in the form view upon New. Or do I need after_create? Regards, Philipp
