Right now I'm building a project management app in rails, here is some background info:
Right now i have 2 models, one is User and the other one is Client. Clients and Users have a one-to-one relationship (client - has_one and user - belongs_to which means that the foreign key it's in the users table)
So what I'm trying to do it's once you add a client you can actually add credentials (add an user) to that client, in order to do so all the clients are being displayed with a link next to that client's name meaning that you can actually create credentials for that client.
So in order to do that I'm using a helper the link to helper like this.
<%= link_to "Credentials",
{:controller => 'user', :action => 'new', :client_id => client.id} %>
Meaning that he url will be constructed like this:
http://localhost:3000/clients/2/user/new
By creating the user for the client with he ID of 2.
And then capturing the info into the controller like this:
@user = User.new(:client_id => params[:client_id])
The weird thing is that EVERY other information BUT the client id it's getting passed and the client ID should be passed with the params[:client_id]. Any ideas? Perhaps it may have something to do with the fact that model User has "acts_as_authentic" because I'm using authologic for it?
Model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic
belongs_to :client
end
Controller:
def create
@user = User.new(:client_id => params[:client_id])
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = "Credentials created"
else
flash[:error] = "Credentials failed"
end
end
View:
<% form_for @user do |f| %
<p>
<%= f.
label :login, "Username" %>
<%= f.text_field :login %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.
label :password, "Password" %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.
label :password_confirmation, "Password Confirmation" %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
</p>
Let me know if this is sufficient or need more.
<%= f.submit "Create", :disable_with => 'Please Wait...' %>
<% end %>
