ok, so I''m having a little problem here.
here''s the code:
class Admin::RequestFormController < Admin::FrontController
def show
session[:request_form] ||= RequestForm.new
end
def add_showing
@showing = Showing.find(params[:showing_id])
show.add_showing(@showing)
end
end
now, if I go to my view and do <%= debug(session[:request_form]) %>
I actually get what I''m looking for, I can do a logger.debug and get
the
request_form object, what I''m not getting is the request_form object
when I ask it to add_showing. I get a nil.add_showing error. Anyone who
can help is much appreciated.

It appears that show is not defined anywhere in the code and hence will be nil. ~Wayne --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think maybe the unusual "ing" ending of the noun "showing" is lending some confusion here. Usually one would have model related names with more ordinary sounding noun forms, like a "Car" model, where a particular record is a "car". I''m thinking maybe your "Showing" model is an active record child, and your controller method "add_showing" is attempting to create a new "showing" based on the info typed into the "show" view by a user? If so, I think it might want to look more like this... def add_showing showing = Showing.new(params[:showing]) showing.save end This is somewhat oversimplified as normally there would be validation involved and stuff to tell the user what happened after they attempted to create a new showing, and perhaps going afterwards to a list of showings with the new one selected, etc. Now might be a good time for another quick read through some of the example chapters in the Agile Rails book. It can take several iterations back and forth between reading and trying to do some on your own before it starts to sink in. It did for me, and I''m still iterating. More than likely I''ve messed this up some and somebody further along will now chime in and correct me. hth, jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sorry everyone, I was kind of in a rush when I made the post. This
application I am working on is very huge. now in the
def add_showing
@showing = Showing.find(params[:showing_id])
show.add_showing(@showing)
end
section, where I have show, you can change that to just
session[:reques_form].add_showing(@showing) and it will still give me
nil.add_showing error, BUT, if you take off the .add_showing(@showing)
it will work. The object is no longer nil. Now this is only one small
snippet of a lot of other controllers and models working together, so I
know I have everything defined correctly. I thought it might have to do
with add_showing, but the kicker is that add_showing works in console.
all tests have run on all the methods and they all pass. If anyone knows
of anything with session that might be a little trick, glitch, flaw, or
something else that''s weird. Thanks for all the ideas.
~Jeremy
