I'm trying to build a simple product backlog application to teach myself Rails. For each product, there can be multiple product backlog entries, so I want to create a product view that shows the product information, all the backlog entries for the product, and includes a nested form for adding more backlog entries.

Everything works until I try to add the form to the view, which then results in the following error:

NoMethodError in Products#show

Showing app/views/products/show.html.erb where line #29 raised:

undefined method `pblog_ref' for #<Product:0x10423ba68>
Extracted source (around line #29):

26:   <%= f.error_messages %>
27:   <p>
28:     <%= f.label :pblog_ref %><br />
29:     <%= f.text_field :pblog_ref %>
30:   </p>
31:   <p>
32:     <%= f.label :product %><br />

The product view where the problem is reported is as follows (the partial works fine, so I won't include that code):

<h1>Showing product</h1>

<p>
  <b>Product ref:</b>
  <%=h @product.product_ref %>
</p>
<p>
  <b>Description:</b>
  <%=h @product.description %>
</p>
<p>
  <b>Owner:</b>
  <%=h @product.owner %>
</p>
<p>
  <b>Status:</b>
  <%=h @product.status %>
</p>

<h2>Product backlog</h2>
<div id="product-backlog">
  <%= render :partial => @product.product_backlogs %>
</div>

<% form_for(@product, ProductBacklog.new) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :pblog_ref %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :pblog_ref %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :product %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :product %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :description %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :description %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :owner %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :owner %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :status %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :status %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.submit 'Create' %>
  </p>
<% end %>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_product_path(@product) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', products_path %>

This is the Product model:

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_presence_of :product_ref, :description, :owner
  has_many :product_backlogs
end

This is the ProductBacklog model:

class ProductBacklog < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :product
end

These are the routes:

  map.resources :product_backlogs
  map.resources :products, :has_many => :product_backlogs

I've checked what I'm doing against the Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2 screencast, and in principle I seem to be doing the same thing as him - only his nested comments form works, and mine doesn't!

I hope someone can help with this, before I turn mad! I'm sure it's something trivial.
