Say I have a Dog that has_may legs (In this case we don't care how many). In the _form for Dog, I would like to assign a pre-existing let to him. I would like to do something like this:
<%= f.collection_select :leg_1, Leg.select { |l| l.dog_id == nil }, :id, :description %> <%= f.collection_select :leg_2, Leg.select { |l| l.dog_id == nil }, :id, :description %> Then in my controller's create action: @dog = Dog.new(params[:dog]) @dog.save leg = Leg.find(params[:leg_1]) leg.dog = @dog leg.save The problem is that the collection_select is trying to set the leg_1 value as part of Dog, which of course does not exist. Do I need to create 'view model' for doing this? Thanks, ~S -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
