Passing values trough models

Rails
1

Hi all,

i have a form and the form is validating correctly. the relevant table
to this model has a coloum to store a some text(a auto generated text.).
to store text to this coloum i am not giving it from a normal form.
instead of that i want to pass a values to this model from a another
different model so it can save in the table.

pls any one know how to archive this task.

Thank
Nadeesha

So if I understand you correctly, it sounds like you have two models:
A and B. Model A has an attribute that allows text to be stored in it,
and this attribute is populated by model B. So, what you want to do
is:

class B < ActiveRecord::Base

id: the id of the record where the text should be stored

text: the text to be stored

def populate_text_field(id, text)
if a = A.find(id)
a.update_attribute(:text_field, text)
end
end

end

Is this what you are intending?
