Hey everyone,
I need some help. I have an accounts controller, and am working with
the show view. Each account has an "owner" and a "customer".
I can
create the accounts/owners/customers just fine, but when it comes to
updating I can''t. I have a single account view, that uses a form, and
the "fields_for" command to update the customer and owners when I
submit the form. The account fields update just fine, but the child
records (owner, and customer) information does not. Here''s my update
routine in the controller. I''m pretty new so I''m sure
it''s something
simple I''m missing.
*******account_controller
def update
@account = Account.find(params[:id])
if @account.update_attributes(params[:account])
flash[:notice] = ''Account Record Saved''
redirect_to(:action=>''show'')
else
flash[:warning] = ''Account Record Did Not Save!''
redirect_to(:action=>''show'')
end
end
*******account_"show"_view
<% form_for(:account, @account, :url => {:action =>
''update''}, :html
=> { :multipart => true, :method => :put }) do |f| %>
<!-- Property Information -->
<h4>Property Information:</h4>
<div id="top_background1"><strong>Property
No:</strong><br>
<%=f.text_field :s_account_no, :size => ''10''%>
</div>
<br>
<!--Customer Information-->
<div id="Customer_info">
<h4>Customer Information</h4>
<%fields_for @account.customer do |customer_fields|%>
<br>
<div style=''padding-left:30px;margin-top:-12px;''>Name:
<
%=customer_fields.text_field :name, :size =>
''48''%></div><br>
<div
style=''padding-left:30px;margin-top:-12px;''>Address:
<
%=customer_fields.text_field :address, :size =>
''48''%></div><br>
<div
style=''padding-left:0px;margin-top:-15px;''>City/State/Zip:
<
%=customer_fields.text_field :city, :size => ''28''%>,<
%=customer_fields.text_field :state, :size => ''2'',
:maxlength => ''2''%>
<%=customer_fields.text_field :zip, :size => ''5'',
:maxlength => ''5''%></
div>
<div style="padding-left:425px"> </div>
<%end%>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<!--Owner Information-->
<div id="Owner_info">
<h4>Owner Information</h4>
<%fields_for @account.owner do |i|%>
<br>
<div style=''padding-left:30px;margin-top:-12px;''>Name:
<
%=i.text_field :name, :size =>
''48''%></div><br>
<div
style=''padding-left:30px;margin-top:-12px;''>Address:
<
%=i.text_field :address, :size =>
''48''%></div><br>
<div
style=''padding-left:0px;margin-top:-15px;''>City/State/Zip:
<
%=i.text_field :city, :size => ''28''%>,<%=i.text_field
:state, :size =>
''2'', :maxlength => ''2''%>
<%=i.text_field :zip, :size =>
''5'', :maxlength => ''5''%></div>
<div style="padding-left:425px"> </div>
<%end%>
</div>
<%= submit_tag "Update Account" %>
<%end%>
Let me know if you need more info. I''m hoping I missed something easy.
Chris

You might want to try inspecting the params in the controller, add a "raise params.inspect" into your update action. I suspect that it is because you have not provided fields for with the parent form, like so: <% f.fields_for @account.owner do |i|%> If you don''t put the "f." in front, rails will simply generate params that you can access via "params[:owner]", whereas you want something like "params[:account][:owner]". This is one problem, but there might be more. On Apr 7, 6:37 am, internetchris <ch...-031BekU2q/6zp2J5h9KejqJePFAbegks@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey everyone, > > I need some help.

Ok so I made those changes, and I am still having issues. Rather than posting the problem on two separate forums, I will simply provide a link to the latest problem on the railsforum. Any help is very appreciated. Multiple models on a single form seem to be hard to accomplish. http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=29044 Any help is greatly appreciated.
