Hi.

Im new to Ruby and new to Ruby on Rails and have problems realizing a
simple many_to_many relationship:

My tables:

items <-> items_users <-> users

id user_id id
name item_id name
… password
…
My Code:

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :new_password
has_and_belongs_to_many :items
[…]
end

items/list.rhtml:
[…]

<%= link_to 'Ã', :action => 'select', :id => item %> [....]

class ItemsController < ApplicationController
[…]
def select
@user = @session[‘user’]
item = Item.find(@params[:id])
@user.items = Item.find(@params[:id])
#<<--------this is the erroneous line of code!
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
end
[…]
end

With “select” i want to add the current active user one item, whose
id is delivered as request parameter.
What am I doing wrong?

Thx in advance,

Tobias

hi there,
try:
@item = Item.find(@params[:id])
@user.items << @item

since @user.items is an array in an n:n relationship you want to push
objects on it rather than make it equal to one object… (rather crudely
put… sorry)

kind regards,
a

Hi,

guess you wanted:
@user.items<< item
