I have a typical rails form with form_for(@user...blah blah) There is a field to enter the email address: email. But that same email address has to be entered into the invitation_last_sent_to. So the same value, in two different columns. There is no problem when saving in the column ''email'' but I want to save that same email value into invitation_last_sent_to column in the controller. I have tried the following in users_controller.rb and when I get the rails console, the value in invitation_last_sent_to is always nil. @user.invitation_last_sent_to = @user.email @user.invitation_last_sent_to = params[:user][:email] @user.invitation_last_sent_to = params[:email] Please help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

See the Rails Guide on debugging for how to do this. I presume, though, that you are doing the above in the create action before the save, or in the update action before update_attributes.

I''m doing it in the create action. I did use debug to inspect @user and params and that''s why I used... @user.invitation_last_sent_to = @user.email @user.invitation_last_sent_to = params[:user][:email] @user.invitation_last_sent_to = params[:email] ...but none of those 3 seem to work. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Is it maybe because it''s a nested resource?
I have this in users_controller.rb
-----------------------------------------
@user = @company.users.build(params[:user])
@user.invitation_last_sent_at = Time.now
@user.invitation_last_sent_to = ???????
------------------------------------------------------
I just tried @company.users[0].email and it also doesn''t work.

You need to give more information not vague comments. Show us the results of what you are doing in the console by copying and pasting the console output here.

I''m sure there is something else in my code that it''s making it nil, will keep on looking. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
