hi i have a belongs to set up between 2 models. Exhibition belongs to
license_instance. The model code is fine because i use it in a number of
other places on the site. One thing i would like to do is create the 2
models at the same time in one form. I have been using
http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=717 but i am running in to
trouble when i try and save.
The folloing is my controller code
#####################################################
def create
#create the new @exhibition model
@exhibition = Exhibition.new(params[:details])
@exhibition.user = current_user
@exhibition.listing_status = ListingStatus.find_by_id(2)
@exhibition.image_id = -1
#check if license needs to be created for this model.
if @exhibition.description != ""
@licenseinstance =
@exhibition.build_license_instance(params[:newdetails])
@licenseinstance.format = “Text”
@licenseinstance.license_jurisdiction_id = 1
end
#checks if the is free button has been ticked. if so sets this to
the price.
if params[:otherdetails][:isfree] == “yes”
@exhibition.admission_price = “Free”
end
#saves the whole exhibition with the license details included.
if @exhibition.save
flash[:notice] = "Exhibition details inserted"
session[:exhibition] = @exhibition
redirect_to :controller => "/listing/edit", :action => "index"
else
flash[:notice] = "Error inserting Exhibition and creating license"
@license_types = LicenseType.find(:all)
end
end
#####################################################
everything works but the license instance does not get saved. What am i
doing wrong??? Do i have to call the .save method on the license object?
I was under the understanding that the .build_license_instance method
would do this when the .save method on the exhibition is called.
Thanks for taking time reading this post.
