New user.presentation

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m creating an RoR application right now and i’ve got the following
question:

An user has one presentation.

So i’ve got an user table and in that table is an field
fkPresentationID. Now i want to create an new user and at the same
moment an new presentation for that user. I thought it would work with
something like this, but it didn’t work.

@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.presentation.new(params[:presentation])
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = ‘OK.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => new
end

Can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

I think this should be @user.presentation = Presentation.new

Hi Daan,
Not fully awake yet (still working on my first pot of coffee :slight_smile: …but I
did
want to point one thing out…
You do know that the convention for this field is typically
presentation_id
? If you need this field name, make sure you have this in your
Presentation
model:
belongs_to :user, :foreign_key => “fkPresentationID”

@user needs to be saved before a presentation can be attched, becasue
user needs to have a id for the presentation to recognize it.

@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save
@user.presentation.create(params[:presentation])
flash[:notice] = ‘OK.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => new
end
