Hi, I am a bit of a rails novice and trying to work this out. Been
tearing my hair out over this for a long time.
I have 2 models that I am working on at the moment. The idea is that
Teams have many players and Players have many teams. I want to be able
to assign a starting team to a player when they are created.
class Team < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :players
class Player < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :teams
*Note: I have set up the correct join table and can insert these
relationships from the ruby console. *
At the moment I have this in my view:
<%= select(:player_id, :teams, Team.all.collect{|s| [s.name, s.id]})
%>
It collects all the team names however when I hit submit nothing is
sent. Am I missing out something?
Thank you. I have spent ages trying to sort this out.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I am indeed that a form_for. When I put an f. infrount i get an error.
undefined method `merge’ for [[“1st Team”, 1], [“2nd Team”, 2]]:Array
Just to confirm. Without the f. the form loads however no Team data gets
sent to the Params on the create. Sorry that is a bit vauge and probably
the wrong way of saying it!
I have made some progress.
<%= select(:player, :team, Team.all.collect{|s| [s.name, s.id]}) %>
However I now get an error when I submit the form. One that is gettting
closer!
undefined method `each’ for “2”:String
AND THIS IS THE PARAMETERS
“player”=>{“first_name”=>“test”,
“last_name”=>“2”,
“email”=>“[email protected]”,
“teams”=>“2”},
“commit”=>“create player”}

Do you mean f.select( :player …) rather than just select? Assuming
you are inside a form_for that is.

O had to put :teams not :team but this works,
However when I hit create it comes back with a new error undefined
method
`each’ for “2”:String
ok u just write <%= f.collection_select(:player, Team.all, :id, :name, :
prompt => true) %> it will store team id in ur player attrbutes
<%= collection_select(:player, :team, Team.all, :id, :name, :prompt =>
true) %>
i think it will work for u.assume you have form_for
This does not work.
Using your code from before: <%= collection_select(:players, :teams,
Team.all, :id, :name, :prompt => true) %>
The form now submits however:
*NO DATA IS SAVED IN THE JOIN TABLE IN THE HABTM RELATIONSHIP. *

WELL YOU HAVE SOMETHING WRONG IN YOUR CONTROLLER CODE THEN. Have look
at the Rails Guide on debugging to find out how to debug the code.
