Hi, New Rails user here trying to create a basic todolist app in rails 3.2.6 and running into some foreign key issues. Here's what I did...
I generated scaffolds list title:string & task description:text listname:string Next, in order to link the listname for Tasks and the list titles in the Lists I generated a migration file which looks like this class AddListIdToTasks < ActiveRecord::Migration def change add_column :tasks, :list_id, :integer end end I then added active record association has_many :tasks and for the Task I used belongs_to :list (, :foreign_key => "list_id)" - even though I think this last part was unnecessary). Finally I ran rake db:migrate. Now I have the table setup (checked it in SQLite Database Browser), but am running into errors interacting with my forms when I run the rails server. I know I have some problems with my views and have tried changing around the _form.html.erb and other .erb files to reflect :list_id as opposed to :list_name, but I can't figure out what I need to do to get the list id into the database table for the tasks. Any ideas or advice? Would be very much appreciated.
