I am creating a simple blog-level application. Below are my models.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name,:posts_count,:posts_attributes , :comments_attributes
has_many :posts
has_many :comments
accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts , :reject_if => proc{|post| post['name'].blank?} , :allow_destroy => true
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :user_id ,:comments_attributes
belongs_to :user
has_many :comments
accepts_nested_attributes_for :comments
end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :content, :post_id, :user_id
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :post
end
I am trying to create a user, message and comment in one form using accepts_nested_attributes_forthe rails function. Below is my controller and view code.
Controller -----------
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
@user = User.new
@post = @user.posts.build
@post.comments.build
end
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.save
end
end
The form ----------
<%= form_for @user do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.fields_for :posts do |users_post| %>
<br>Post
<%= users_post.text_field :name %>
<%= users_post.fields_for :comments do |comment| %>
<%= comment.text_field :content %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
With the above code, I can successfully create a new user, post and comment, but the problem is that I cannot assign a newly created user to a newly created comment. When I checked the newly created comment in the database I received below result.I gets the value of the user_id field "nil".
#<Comment id: 4, user_id: nil, post_id: 14, content: "c", created_at: "2014-05-30 09:51:53", updated_at: "2014-05-30 09:51:53">
So, I just want to know how we can assign a newly created comment to a newly created user.
Thank,
