Hi, I can have a Person model with a "has_one :address_email" association, then do the following in my controller: @person = Person.new @person.address_email = AddressEmail.new But, when I have 1 form for "Person" in my view I can''t bind fields in the @person.address_email object with text_field or text_field_tag helpers without getting a "undefined local

Hello, I am fairly new to RoR and I have a question I hope can be solved elegantly (so many things are, so why not this one too?). I have a working solution, but I want to be sure I am doing things the "rails way" (having come from PHP). You could say I am looking for a little validation (no flames please). I have a table of units like so: CREATE TABLE `units` ( `id`

Hello, What am I doing wrong? The code below does not show the current record for editing. def edit @user = User.find(params[:id]) end def update @user = User.find(params[:id]) if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:notice] = ''User was successfully updated.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @user else render :action

I have two tables, applicants, and skills where each applicant "has_many" skills, and each skill "belongs_to" an applicant.

HELP! I''m a relatively new rails user and I''m stuck. I''m trying to build a relatively simple blog and I decided that I liked the way named routes look in the code.

I also updated all of my views and everything

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument.

Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

I thought I had this fixed, but apparently not. It works okay from the console, but not from the view. I have the following: # partial schema create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.string "login", :null => false t.string "first_name" t.string "last_name" t.string "email", :null => false

I''m getting confused. If I have a view (.rhtml), I can use a field helper like: <%= text_field :mymodel, :attribute %> This uses the value from @mymodel.attribute Now, if I am rendering a template normally (i.e. not partial), I would expect @mymodel to be a model object defined as an instance variable in the controller. However, if I am rendering a partial template, I

I have an action that needs to update two models/two tables in one shot, and it works great, but ignores one column. Here is the action code: (verify_id is irrelevant in this case) [CODE] def edit @page_title = "Edit User" @page_active_3 = "active" if request.post? @user = User.find(params[:id]) @profile = @user.profile verify_id(@user.id,
