I noticed a discrepancy in the field name:
def new@event_selected = Event.find(params[:event_select])
...
Parameters:
{"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"GMMg9DwnTRAw4qP/ICqgACUB4d42Pl9Y7hrrNQzO38K8inbgyM00H2etrepjrT35hwIenHfwQPQW08V6QnHl1A==",
"event_selected"=>"14",
In the find query, you're using :event_select, and in the posted
parameters, its :event_selected.
As Fred pointed out, your use of strong parameters and the form helpers
seems wrong, but aside from those problems, it looks like you're not
actually calling your "invite_params" method anyways. If you want to make
use of strong parameters, in "new", you would use,
Event.find(invite_params[:event_selected]).
Best,
Brent
