I want to do something like: raise Tag.find_or_create_by_tag([:which_tag]) to troubleshoot the add_some_tags method of the feeds controller: http://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/app/controllers/feeds_controller.rb How would I go about that? the error message I''m troubleshooting: ActiveRecord::HasManyThroughCantAssociateNewRecords in FeedsController#add_some_tags Cannot associate new records through ''Feed#colors'' on ''#''. Both records must have an id in order to create the has_many :through record associating them. thanks, Thufir --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
