Hi Janna,
First, you shouldn't be calling Channel.find(:all, :order => 'channel
ASC', :conditions => ['deleted=0']).collect {|p| [ p.channel, p.id ]}
I'd add a named scope to the Channel model like so:
named_scope :not_deleted, :conditions => {:deleted =>
false }, :order => 'channel ASC'
And then in the controller:
@channels = Channel.not_deleted
Then in your view:
<%= f.select :channel_id, @channels %>
The standard here would be to create the new Ups in a method called
create. By using form_for on a new record rails will automatically
know to post to an action called create so, unless you have a good
reason not to, I'd recommend calling your controller method "create"
and letting Rails behave the way it wants to.
which 'line feed' do you want to remove?
