Problems with the Rails Rails Model

Question

I am trying to create a registration process similar to SO:

• route to the OpenID provider
• the provider returns user information to the UserController (suppose)
• UsersController creates the user, then routes to the new or editable ProfilesController action.

I'm currently just trying to create a user, then redirecting to a new or editing ProfilesController action (not sure what I should use).

Here is what I still have:

Models:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :profile end class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end 

Routes

  map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :profile end new_user_profile GET /users/:user_id/profile/new(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"new"} edit_user_profile GET /users/:user_id/profile/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"edit"} user_profile GET /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"show"} PUT /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"update"} DELETE /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"destroy"} POST /users/:user_id/profile(.:format) {:controller=>"profiles", :action=>"create"} users GET /users(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"} POST /users(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"create"} new_user GET /users/new(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"} edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"edit"} user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"show"} PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"update"} DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"destroy"} 

Controllers

 class UsersController < ApplicationController # generate new-user form def new @user = User.new end # process new-user-form post def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.save redirect_to new_user_profile_path(@user) ... end end # generate edit-user form def edit @user = User.find(params[:id]) end # process edit-user-form post def update @user = User.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully updated.' format.html { redirect_to(users_path) } format.xml { head :ok } ... end end end class ProfilesController < ApplicationController before_filter :get_user def get_user @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) end # generate new-profile form def new @user.profile = Profile.new @profile = @user.profile end # process new-profile-form post def create @user.profile = Profile.new(params[:profile]) @profile = @user.profile respond_to do |format| if @profile.save flash[:notice] = 'Profile was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@profile) } format.xml { render :xml => @profile, :status => :created, :location => @profile } ... end end end # generate edit-profile form def edit @profile = @user.profile end # generate edit-profile-form post def update @profile = @user.profile respond_to do |format| if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile]) flash[:notice] = 'Profile was successfully updated.' # format.html { redirect_to(@profile) } format.html { redirect_to(user_profile(@user)) } format.xml { head :ok } else format.html { render :action => "edit" } format.xml { render :xml => @profile.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end 

User Edit:

 ... <% form_for(@user) do |f| %> ... 

New profile:

 ... <% form_for([@user,@profile]) do |f| %> .. 

I have two problems:

• When saving the edit to the user model, the UserController tries to switch to http: // localhost: 3000 / users / 1 / profile.% 23% 3Cprofile: 0x10438e3e8% 3E instead of http: // localhost: 3000 / users / 1 / profile

• When the form of the new profile is visualized, it gives an error message: undefined method `user_profiles_path 'for #

• Is it better to create an empty profile when creating a user (in the UserController) and then edit it OR follow the rest of the agreement on creating a profile in ProfilesController (how did I do this)?

What am I missing?

I looked at Linking two models in Rails (user and profile) , but that didn't concern my needs.

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Change the "Change profile" form to:

 <% form_for([@user,@profile], :url => user_profile_path(@user)) do |f| %> 

and everything works as expected.
