Hi guys,

I have an user registration page. In that page there are 5 input fields.

I have to save user id and password in "login" table and other 3 input in "userinfo" table.

Regarding thid tropic I have two questions:

1. How can i retrive the post data from the input field? 2. How can i save data in two table by one model?

I use instants rails 1.4 and mysel 5

please give me some ideas? also waitng for some sample code .

You need 2 Models obviously, with an has_one/belongs_to association.

Class User < ActiveRecord::Base   has_one :userinfo end

Class Userinfo < ActiveRecord::Base   table_name "userinfo"   belongs_to end

the userinfo table has to have opne column "user_id" for this association to work.

then you have 5 input fields in your view:

#login_form.rhml

<% form_for :user, @user, :url => { :action => "login" } do |f| %>   <%= f.text_field "name" %>   <%= f.password_field "password" %>

  <% fields_for :userinfo, @user.userinfo do |u| %>     <% u.text_field1 :column1 %>     <% u.text_field2 :column2 %>     <% u.text_field3 :column3 %>   <% end %>

<% end %>

in your controller you can then access the data fo the 2 use fields with params[:user] (e.g. params[:user][:name]) and the userinfo with params[:userinfo] in the same way. you create an new user, and an associated userinfo item:

#controller .... #Create the user (saves automatically) @user = User.create params[:user] #Create the associated Userinfo item (saves automatically) @user.create_userinfo params[:userinfo]

....

If you find typos, keep them :wink:
