hi,
…i’ve just finished installing the login generator and acl system from
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/LoginGeneratorACLSystem
(sql sctructure of a habtam relationship of roles//users,
roles//permissions and so, being able to asign roles[with the associated
permissions]to the users…)
anyway, now i need to implement associating the correct permissions for
the correct role in the view, and so after scaffoling, i’ve got:
def new
@role = Role.new
@permissions = Permission.find(:all)
end
def create
@role = Role.new(params[:role])
if params[:permission]
params[:permission].split(" ").each do |permission|
@permission = Permission.find(permission)
@role.permissions.push(@permission)
end
end
if @role.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Role was successfully created.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => ‘new’
end
end
via the @permissions in the ‘new’ action, i bring to the view a multiple
select field( with the name of permission, hence the
params[:permission] ) with all of the permissions available, so that
the admin can choose what permissions go with the role he has just
created…problem is, when choosing mulitple values in the multiple
field, it turns out tha the only one that was pushed into
@role.permissions was the first one that was selected on the select
field(regardless of how many were choosen along with it).
is there something wrong with my controller, or is there some kind of
bug with the select field? shouldn’t this be working? (monday bloody
mondays??)
…thanks ahead of time,
chow,
