I have two models, ladder and statistic The relationship is ladder has_many statistics statistic belongs_to ladder

In a view for my ladder controller action show, I am redirecting the user to an action in my statistics controller using

<% form for ladder_statistics_path(@ladder) do |f| %>   <%= submit_tag 'Create' %> <%end%>

I would think that in the statistics controller the object @ladder and all of its attributes would be available to me, but only the id is available in the params hash as params[:ladder_id]

I have to explicitly call

@ladder = ladder.find(params[:ladder_id])

in the statistics controller to get @ladder.name

is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

That’s the way I learned it, specifically from http://akitaonrails.com/2007/12/12/rolling-with-rails-2-0-the-first-full-tutorial.
