Thank you for your response. So I've realized that the model is just not receiving anything from these fields.
I added: validates_presence_of :user_id validates_presence_of :user_empire validates_presence_of :difficulty and I get the error in the form: "User can't be blank User empire can't be blank" In the development log it shows these being posted with the correct names, I've double checked them in the DB and it all matches up. So why is it not submitting what's in the input to the DB? Also it says "User can't be Blank" when it should be user_id. I am completely confused here. I do have the belongs_to relationship with :users but am not nesting the new game form. I don't have to still do the accepts_nested_attributes, do I? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
