Hello all,

I have two tables “products” & “productdetails” in my productdetails
table I have a foreign key field called “product_id”

If I am editing product number “3” and run the following I can get and
display the detail information.

def edit
@product = Product.find(params[:id])
@categories = Category.find_all
@productdetails = Productdetail.find(:all, :conditions =>
[“product_id = 3”])
End

How do make that “3” be the product id from the products table
dynamically - so it always represents the product I am currently working
on. I’ve tried some different things but nothing is working.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Beau

Change your third line to this:
@productdetails = Productdetail.find(:first, :conditions => [“product_id
= ?”, @product.id])

However, a much easier way of doing this is to define the relationship
between the two models:

models/Product.rb

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :productdetail
end

models/Productdetail.rb

class Productdetail < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :product
end

Then, all you have to do is this:
@product = Product.find(params[:id], :include => [:productdetail])

And now you have it all in one query…
