Hi,  
I have 3 models:

hotel  
has\_many :ratings  
has\_many :categories, :through =\> :ratings

category  
has\_many :ratings  
has\_many :hotels, :through =\> :ratings

rating  
belongs\_to :hotel  
belongs\_to :category

I have categories like food, rooms etc. that I want to rate in my  
hotel edit view:  
…  
\<% if @hotel.categories.any? %\>  
\<% @hotel.ratings.each do |rating| %\>  
\<% fields\_for @hotel.ratings do |rating\_form| %\>

- \<% rating.category.name %\> \<% rating\_form.text\_field :rating  
%\>
  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>  
…

Unfortunately this doesn’t work.

Any help would great.

As you told you are trying to edit hotel information. So I think you  
should have like following  
\<% form\_for(@hotel) do |form| %\>  
\<% end %\>

and inside this you might use like  
\<% form.fields\_for :ratings do |rating\_field| %\>  
# print rating fields  
\<% end %\>

If the above doesnt help you, would you please provide more insight  
about what and how you are actually want to print ratings in hotel  
edit form?

Thank you.

In my categories table I have some records: rooms, food, service etc.

my show.html.erb looks like this:

## Hotel Ratings:
\<% @hotel.ratings.each do |show| %\> - For a hotel this gives me:
