similar to: nested forms in rails 2.3

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

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.

Artist is 1:1 with User. User has_one :artist In my artist model, I have: belongs_to :user accepts_nested_attributes_for :user However, in my artist _form, the name column from the user model does not display. I am doing: <% f.fields_for :user do |builder| %> <p class="fields"> <%= builder.label :name %> <%= builder.text_field :name %>

Since I don''t want to duplicate the partial across each

Hello, I think this is an easy one for the average Rails developer but I''m a bit stuck.

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.
