Hey Marnen:
I'm game, so I've been trying what you recommended. I've stripped out
plots and reports just to understand the basics, so my route.rb looks
like:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :users
map.resources :locations
end
I can create, view, edit, delete Users without trouble. But I'm
conceptually stuck on how to create Locations. Since Users has_many
Locations, I need to stuff the user_id into a Location when I create it.
My location_controller code for create() is something like:
def create
Rails.logger.debug("#{self}.create(): params = #{params}")
@user = User.find(params[:user_id]) # THIS LINE FAILS: no :user_id
present
@location = @user.locations.build(params[:location])
if @location.save
flash[:notice] = 'Location was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(@location) }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
end
end
This code fails because no params[:user_id] is define when coming in via
POST, and I don't see where to pick up the :user_id. Inasmuch as you're
advocating flat routes, you must know some trick that I'm overlooking.
(Pardon if this is garbled -- it's late and I've been wrestling with
this for a while.)
What am I missing?
Best,
- ff
