[Rails] Re: Getting null value when it's assigned

This could be that you are trying to assign attributes that are
protected from mass assignment. Try adding:

attr_accessible :category_id

..to your article model.

[Rails] Re: Getting null value when it's assigned

[pepe]

I'm assuming the problem happens when creating new records. Can we see
the new and create actions in your controller and the full form in the
view? Also, are there any before/after/around filters and/or callbacks
that could be affecting the behavior of the application?

 I have my articles migration

 create_table :articles do |t|
 t.integer :category_id, :null = false
 etc..

 and my form

 Select a category
 %= f.select :category_id, Category.all.collect {|category|
 [category.name, category.id ]} %

 But everytime im sending that info im getting a nil value for
 category_id
