Yes; goal belongs_to user. I tried what you suggested and the second line
config.list.columns[:user].link = false
results in an immediate error when attempting to render the form:
undefined method `link=' for nil:NilClassExtracted source (around line *#5*):2:
3: <%= button_to "Return to Plan", plans_path, :method => :get %>
4: <div>
5: <%= render :active_scaffold => "members/goals", :constraints => {
:user_id => current_user.id } %>
I created the to_label field as well.
More to the point, I don't want to list, show, or change the user AT ALL...
I just want to leave the value that's in an existing record alone, and add
the current_user.id to the user_id field upon create. In other words, no
subform for Users at all. I have a before_create_save method to set the
user_id on create.
Since I don't want any type of subform for the User, I tried turning off
:nested and :subform in the active_scaffold initializer, but that didn't
help.
I'll look at your other suggestions, but wanted to make sure I was clear on
what I wanted to do.
Thanks much for your help...jon
