I'm trying to build something similar to a Facebook messaging app, in which the view displays all the messages for a particular thread, with a form box for replying at the bottom of the thread.
The problem is that using fields_for generates form fields for each existing record, and for one new record. In this case, there is no need to edit existing messages - just a need to add new messages. Does anybody know how to do this? Code is below. Models: class MessageThread < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :messages accepts_nested_attributes_for :messages, :allow_destroy => true end class Message < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :message_threads end View (show.html.erb) <% @message_thread.messages.each do |message| %> <%= message.message %> <% end %> <% form_for @message_thread do |thread_form| -%> <% thread_form.fields_for :messages do |message| %> <%= message.label :message %> <%= message.text_field :message %> <% end %> <%= submit_tag 'Send Message' %> <% end -%> Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
