Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
This is what I came up with I was looking for some feedback. It works
fine but I figure I might be doing something long winded. This is my
first go at an actual railsApp other then book demos. Any feedback
would be nice!
// new.html.erb
<h1>New word</h1>
<%= error_messages_for :word, :definition %>
<% form_for(@word) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :word %><br />
<%= f.text_field :word %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :was_created_by %><br />
<%= f.check_box :was_created_by %>
</p>
<% fields_for(:definition, @definition) do |i| %>
<p>
<%= i.label :definition %><br />
<%= i.text_area :definition %>
</p>
<p>
<%= i.label :word_type %><br />
<%= i.text_field :word_type %>
</p>
<p>
<%= i.label :pronounciation %><br />
<%= i.text_field :pronounciation %>
</p>
<p>
<%= i.label :origin %><br />
<%= i.text_area :origin %>
</p>
<p>
<%= i.label :is_profain %><br />
<%= i.check_box :is_profain %>
</p>
<% end %>
<p>
<%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
</p>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', words_path %>
// words_controller.rb
def create
@client_ip = request.remote_ip
begin
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
@word = Word.new(params[:word].merge(:ip_address =>
@client_ip, :user_id => '1'))
@word.save
@definition = Definition.new(params[:definition].merge
(:ip_address => @client_ip,
:user_id
=> '1',
:word_id
=> @word.id,
:status
=> 'published'))
@definition.save
end
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => invalid
flash[:notice] = 'Word was not created'
render :action => "new"
end
redirect_to(@word)
end
