Hello all,
I'm sure that this
question has been asked somewhere before, as the habtm relationship seems to be very confusing.
I have two models, users and promotions. The idea is that a promotion can have many users, and a user can have many promotions.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :promotions
end
class Promotion < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
end
I also have a promotions_users table/model, with no id of its own. It references user_id and promotions_id
class PromotionsUsers < ActiveRecord::Base
end
So, how do I add a user to a promotion? I've tried something like this:
user = User.find(params[:id])
promotion = Promotion.find(params[:promo_id])
promo = user.promotions.new(promo)
This results in the following error:
NoMethodError: undefined method `stringify_keys!' for #<Promotion:0x10514d420>
If I try this line instead:
promo= user.promotions.new(promo.id)
I get this error:
TypeError: can't dup Fixnum
I'm sure that there is a very easy solution to my problem, and I'm just not searching for the solution the right way.
Thank you for your time, and any help you can provide.
