Hi. I''m trying to run Getting started tutorial under Rails 4.0.0.beta1 although it assumes it runs on Rails 3. I was able to get rid of all errors by wrapping post_params here and there, and installing protected_attributes Gem for attr_accessible to make sense. Post/ comment CRUD works just fine, but I don''t seem to be able to add Tags (the final part of the tutorial). Post saved successfully message appears, but tags aren''t saved as part of saving the post. Database isn''t even UPDATEd unless I change either name, title or content, but tags aren''t persisted in any case. What gives? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What gives?You would be better to stick to Rails 3 (with a Rails 3 tutorial) until you have mastered the basics of Rails and know how to debug your code. If you really must go with Rails 4 then railstutorial.org have a beta tutorial at http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book?version=4.0#top Using a tutorial aimed at a different version of Rails to that which you are using is a doomed enterprise.

Thanks for the link. I''m learning Rails in my spare time and have no immediate need for it, so I thought I''d just go ahead and start with version 4. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

new.html.erb copied from the tutorial as is:
<% form_for :post, url: posts_path do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :title %><br>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :text %><br>
<%= f.text_area :text %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
I can put <%= "hi" %> before or after form_for, and see it. But
not
inside form_for - then I won''t see it. Probably because :post is
nonexistent it doesn''t get rendered at all.

p.s. I wonder if this repetitiveness is needed here. For the simple case such as Post.new(params[:post]), I guess Rails should just "know" what fields comprise a model and permit relevant safe fields coming from POSTed data. Of course one can always override that with the second permit variant, but not be forced to do so, introducing possibility for error (dreaded DRY). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This feature is a change for Rails 4 that gives greater flexibility in that it allows permitting or require parameters from within the controller. Why would it not be DRY? By the way, could you not top post please, it makes it difficult to follow the thread. Insert your replies inline at appropriate points in the previous message. Thanks.

Hi, Colin, you see, I think that listing permitted fields all over again in the controller can be viewed as repetitiveness. Ideally, model would just accept the bulk of fields coming from the outside, validate their presence + conformance, and yell if it isn''t the case. How it is being done now ensures greater flexibility in that controller can massage + glue up several fields into one etc. before passing them all to the model. This is good, and I''m not saying this functionality shouldn''t be available, but in the simplest case, Post.save(params[:post]) should just do the obvious by adhering to convention over configuration. Just my opinion. p.s. I don''t believe I''ve top-posted in this thread? Well, unless you believe that a few of my quote-less posts, such as this one, are top- posting. I simply click "reply" under relevant post. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Just my opinion.It was like that in rails originally I believe, but it is just too dangerous. It was too easy for the developer to forget to protect the fields that should not be mass assigned.> > p.s. I don''t believe I''ve top-posted in this thread?

I simply click "reply" under relevant post.You are right, I assumed that you had top posted as it was at the top. Rather you had committed the (arguably) even worse sin of not quoting the relevant parts of previous message. This means that your latest message, for example, has no context so one has to look back through previous emails to find out what it is about.
