similar to: attr_accessible & site administrator issue

Hi, I''m working on a Rails 3.2.2 application which has JSON APIs and I use a CLI client for inserting some data. It works fine except for the Author model. When I try to create a new post (Post belongs_to :author and Author has_many :posts) I get the following error : <h1> ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in PostsController#create </h1>

Is there a way to tell Rails to ignore attr_accessible when seeding the database and to allow mass assignment with create or new? I know how to skip validations but do not find anything on mass assignment... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? Is attr_accessor to create a virtual variable/object and attr_accessible makes it accessible? Do you need attr_accessible if you already have attr_accessor?

Please refer to the ActiveModel MassAssignmentSecurity api<http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/MassAssignmentSecurity/ClassMethods.html>for this. I''m on Rails3.2.3/Ruby1.9.3 and trying to use that technique in the controller as described. It is supposed to dynamically restrict the attributes that can be mass assigned. However, sanitize_for_mass_assignment is ignoring

Hi, I would like to protect all the attributes of one of my model. This ticket talks about this issue: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9631 , and a patch to the documentation was submitted: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8032 , which actually states that defining :attr_accessible alone, means all attributes are protected. However when I look at the rails API page for attr_accessible, I

I''ve been puzzling over how to test that attr_accessible has been set for the correct columns; but the tests I''ve come up with so far seem to fail to fail when I expect. I came across this old message from this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg01570.html Which seemed like a plausible example, but my attempt (modeled on the example)

(I posted this as a bug in GitHub (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/7018), but then someone there told me I should post it here, so here it is.) If you set attr_accessible on some properties in an ActiveRecord-descended class, and then attr_protected on others - the class becomes ''default-open'' - if any properties are missed or added later, they will be accessible by

Please guide me how to use those two methods. I can''t differentiate them. I was doing something on my model and I have put one field in the attr_accessible method. After that when I try to run the app the app always says my other fields are blank, but they''re all filled up. What''s wrong with it?

I keep getting this exception "SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: books.user_id: SELECT "books".* FROM "books" WHERE ("books".user_id = 4)" ,which sounds like there is no user_id in books table.So i just installed foreigner plugin and added " t.integer :user_id, :null => false" and "add_foreign_key(:books, :users)" in book

Is anyone out there writing specs to check attr_accessible fields? I had originally written my spec to check for allowing the desired fields, and then none of the other regular db fields. Unfortunately this isn''t satisfactory, because attr_protected could have been used instead, which of course wouldn''t prevent mass assignment to any whatever=(val) method. I''m thinking

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

Hi, I''m trying to understand this error: WARNING: Can''t mass-assign these protected attributes: active I had this error before when creating a record.I did not mark the attibutes posted from the form as attr_accessible, so when the following line tries to execute it throwed an Warning in the log, and the record was not saved. @user = User.new(params[:user]) I find out that I

Hi, seem to keep running into a wall here. I can''t find any resources on site navigation that can deal with any model being in the nav, allow nesting, and can dynamically update. So I thought about it for a while, and decided on a MenuItems class, which contained the position of the child in relation to it''s siblings, where the parent and the child were polymorphic. Then a given

Does anyone have any suggestions for a best practice implementation of Recaptcha (or other captchas - if you recommend going another route, I''m all ears)? I''ve found the recaptcha gem and a plugin but I don''t know which is the best implementation, and I haven''t found a thorough tutorial plus example code for either. Thanks -- Posted via
