As I stated before, the location is added to the locations table and
the profile is added to the profiles table (if new). The problem is
that the join table is not updated to match the association.
Here is my profiles controller:
# GET /profiles/new
def new
@devices = Device.find(:all)
@profile = Profile.new
@profile.websites.build # creates first website fieldset
@profile.numbers.build # creates first number fieldset
@profile.emails.build # creates first email fieldset
@profile.locations.build # creates first location fieldset
@profile.notes.build # creates first note fieldset
end
# GET /profiles/1/edit
def edit
@profile = Profile.find(params[:id])
end
# POST /profiles
def create
@profile = Profile.new(params[:profile])
if @profile.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created profile!"
redirect_to profile_path(@profile)
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
# PUT /profiles/1
def update
params[:profile][:existing_email_attributes] ||= {}
params[:profile][:existing_website_attributes] ||= {}
params[:profile][:existing_location_attributes] ||= {}
params[:profile][:existing_number_attributes] ||= {}
params[:profile][:existing_note_attributes] ||= {}
@profile = Profile.find(params[:id])
if @profile.update_attributes(params[:profile])
flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated profile!"
redirect_to profile_path(@profile)
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
