So I am having a weird issue that I hope someone else has run into and knows how to fix. Basically, I have a partial which includes a fields_for call that renders a form for a specific type of object. This partial can be rendered multiple times on a page if the user wants to add multiple of these objects. However, when the submit button is clicked, the grouping of the objects parameters are inconsistent with how they are entered.
The result of trying to create two of these "event" objects follows:
Here is what the params hash contains on the request:
"events"=>[{"event_type_id"=>"3"}, {"event_type_id"=>"3", "is_active"=>"true"}, {"is_active"=>"true", "user_id"=>"1"}, {"eta"=>"September 22, 2008 1:11 PM", "user_id"=>"1"}, {"description"=>"Milestone 1 criteria", "eta"=>"September 23, 2008 1:11 PM"}, {"description"=>"Milestone 2 criteria", "risk_level_id"=>"1"}, {"risk_description"=>"Milestone 1 risk detail", "risk_level_id"=>"2"}, {"risk_description"=>"Milestone 2 risk detail"}]}, "commit"=>"Submit Changes", "authenticity_token"=>"af7a84442defabeeda94dac616930e9a3ee514d7", "id"=>"119"}
This is where the Partial is called in the view:
<div id="add_milestone"> </div> <%= add_milestone_link("Add a Milestone")%>
This is the helper method:
def add_milestone_link(name) link_to_function name do |page| page.insert_html :bottom, :add_milestone, :partial=>'/customer_accounts/edit_page/ add_milestone_event', :locals=>{:customer_account_id => @customer_account.id, :event=>Event.new} end end
This is the partial:
<div id="add_milestone">
<% fields_for "customer_account[events]", event do |events_form| %>
<table class="account"> <tr> <td >Milestone </td> <%= events_form.hidden_field(:event_type_id, :value =>
EventType.find_event_type_id_by_description("Milestone")) %> <%= events_form.hidden_field(:is_active, :value => true) %> <%= events_form.hidden_field(:user_id, :value => @current_user.id) %> <td ><%=events_form.calendar_date_select(:eta) </td> <td ><%= events_form.text_area(:description, :rows => 2, :class => "full-width") %></td> <td > <%= events_form.collection_select(:risk_level_id, RiskLevel.find(:all), :id, :value, {:prompt => "- Select One -"}, :class=>"full-width") %> </td> <td><%= events_form.text_area(:risk_description, :rows => 2, :class => "full-width") %></td> </tr>
</table>
<% end %>
</div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have a similar problem elsewhere in the code and the reason for this error should provide us with the insight to fix that one as well
