Hi,
I''m currently stuck with a problem I just can''t find a clever
solution
for. I checked every tutorial, issuetracker, API reference I could
find but found nothing to "enlighten" me --> I desperately need
your
help :-).
My Question is: is it possible to use nested forms for habtm
associations?
--> Here some more info about what I wanted to do and what failed
### Basic info ###
I''ve got following model associations:
Customer
has_many :inquiries
attr_accessible :inquiry_ids
accepts_nested_attributes_for :inquiries
Inquiry
belongs_to :customer
has_and_belongs_to_many :machines
accepts_nested_attributes_for :machines
attr_accessible :machine_ids
Machine
has_and_belongs_to_many :inquiries
I''m on Rails 2.3.5 and formtastic 0.9.7
### What I want ###
I wanted to build a nested form (using formtastic + haml), so a User
could enter his data and create an inquiry regarding several machines
(he put into a cart in advance)
so I set up this:
- semantic_form_for @customer do |form|
- form.inputs do
= form.input :companyname
= form.input :salutation, :as => :radio, :label =>
"Gender",
:collection => [["Mister", "m"], ["Mrs.",
"f"]]
= form.input :first_name
= form.input :last_name
= form.input :street
= form.input :zip
= form.input :city
= form.input :phone
= form.input :mobile
= form.input :fax
= form.input :email
- form.inputs :for => [:inquiries, @inquiries] do |inquiry_form|
= inquiry_form.input :text, :hint => t("inquiryinfo")
- inquiry_form.inputs :for => [:machines, @machines] do
|machine_form|
= machine_form.input :id, :as => :hidden
= form.commit_button :label => t("send")
### PROBLEM ###
- the form renders fine for the customer and inquiry fields --> OK!
- the form renders the hidden field only for the FIRST machine in my
@machines collection (and there is definitly more then 1 machine in
the collection, I already checked this with array size and by
outputting the machines in a for each loop)
### QUESTION ###
- Did I miss some configuration?
- are nested forms not usable for habtm associations???
--> if so, how could I handle my "use case" in the controller?
I''d be sooo happy I any of you could help me out with
this.....I''m
really lost :-(
P.S. Sorry for my English, it''s not my native tongue :-)
