similar to: How can I use aggregation objects in form_for?

In a form_for context, is there a way to access objects that are related to the primary object with a belongs_to? I think an example will serve best: class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person attr_accessor :username end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user attr_accessor :first_name end <% form_for :user do |form| %> <%= form.text_field

Hi There, I''m trying to user fields_for inside a form_tag, but i can''t catch it on my controller. I just take some html code off to makes it easy to read my view... i''m using campuses_path(current_church, @campus) instead form_for @campus, because my route is like resources :campuses, :path => ":church/campuses" <%= form_tag

I''m trying to build something similar to a Facebook messaging app, in which the view displays all the messages for a particular thread, with a form box for replying at the bottom of the thread. The problem is that using fields_for generates form fields for each existing record, and for one new record. In this case, there is no need to edit existing messages - just a need to add new

I''m using the fields_for helper with accepts_nested_attributes_for The System model has_many children. If I do this in my haml template: -form_for @system do |s| =s.text_field :name -s.fields_for :children do |child_fields| =child_fields.text_field :name all is fine. The fields_for iterates over all children and puts the correct data in the fields. But...what I

Hi, I have been watching the last three episodes on railscasts.com in which he goes through dealing with multiple models in one for using fields_for, and virtual attributes. (http://railscasts.com/episodes/ 73). Here is an example of the way they suggest to go about it: # projects_controller.rb def new @project = Project.new 3.times { @project.tasks.build } end def create @project =

hi all.. i am trying to use *fields_for* to get and save nested attributes in a form. i have a ''Partner'' model associated with an ''Address'' model. partner has_many :addresses although the form is displaying fine, but on submitting it the following error is shown: *can''t convert HashWithIndifferentAccess into Array* on this line: *@partner =

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

Hi, being relativly new to RoR, I''m having a problem which I found described in this forum and somewhere else - but with no solution. I know, that it may be bad to mix table and form tags, but the first solution of an in place editing within a table looked nice: Version using form_for: <tr> <%form_for :time_record, :url => { :action => "add_time_record" } do

Howdy Folks, I want to use form_for to allow a user to submit a form that contains two instances of the same model. They are entering calendar dates and I want them to be able to submit 2 from the same form. Ok, so, using form_for, what is the best way to do this? form_for seems to be setup to handle a single instance in that it wants a name for the variable, etc... Has someone else done this?

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

I''m getting an error in the partial when i try <% form_for :name do |form| %> <%= render_partial "#{@current_stage}" %> <% end %> So I assume that form_for does not have scope in the partial? If that is the case what are my solutions... Do I have to stick a <% form_for in every partial, or do i just change all my inputs back to text_field

When submitting billing information in the past I''ve always used attr_accessor for credit card details as they should not be saved in the database. In addition I always end up storing the card expiration date so that the date form helper works correctly. With Active Model it seems logical to create a CreditCard class to hold this data instead. **1st issue.** It seems there still
