user has_one user_profile.

User_profile belongs_to user.

when creating user I want to create user_profile, in one form get user

and user_profile and save both.How ca I do that.

Thanks for your help.

One approach is to use accepts_nested_attributes - see Ruby on Rails Guides: Ruby on Rails 2.3 Release Notes for example.

Thanks Fred,

I had tried. This works, but while saving user_profile field values are nil except ids. my create method like this

@user = User.new(user_params) @user_profile = @user.build_user_profile(params[:user_profile])

Thanks

Have a look in log/development.log and you will see the parameters you are posting and check they are ok. Also you can do thinks like inserting puts statements into your code, so if you insert

puts inspect params[:user_profile]

in the code above it will print the params in the server terminal window so you can check they are ok.

I found the reason but I can not solve it. user_profile is unpermitted parameter.

I added

def user_params       params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :user_profile_attributes =>)     end in the conroller and

accepts_nested_attributes_for :user_profile

in the model.

still the same problem.

Thanks

user_profile is unpermitted parameter.

I added

def user_params

      params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password,

:user_profile_attributes =>)

    end

You need to add the attributes that are allowed for user_profile.

in fact i want to add all attributes of user_profile. for testing purpose I added firstname & lastname like this def user_params       params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :user_profile_attributes => [:firstname, :lastname])     end

but still not working. user_profile is in unpermitted parameter.

Unpermitted parameters: password_confirmation, user_profile

There shouldn't really be any parameters of that name. It's not clear what changes you made after I suggested accepts_nested_attributes. In particular how you call fields_for in the view is very relevant.

Hi Ravi, Did you get solution ? Thanks, Manoj Menon RoR Developer Maxxion Systems.
