Hello,
I am new to rails. I have a table customer and another table
customercontact
Following is part of my tables
table customer
{
id,
name,
...
}
table customercontact
{
id,
customer_id,
...
}
I created the models and I created the scaffolds. But when I try to add
customercontact I am not getting an option to add customer_id (not even
a text box). Did this happen to anyone. If so how to resolve this.
Thanks
Dilip

You''ll need to build the <select> dropdown to choose customer id yourself, using the select helper. It will look something like this: <%= select(''customercontact'',''customer_id'',Customer.find(:all).collect {|c| [c.name,c.id]}) %> I''d really recommend you get the Agile Web Development With Rails book from Pragmatic Programmer (~$22 for PDF download) and work through the tutorial. It demonstrates how to accomplish most basic functionality like this. c. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I don''t recommend using it as a generator, but it works great as a class method.
