Saving attribute

rubyonrails-talk

Something is getting lost here. def create     @home = Team.find_by_user_id(current_user.id)

    for player in @home.players       player.update_attribute(:game_id, @game.id)     end end

def show   @players = Player.find_all_by_game_id(params[:id]) end

view <%= @players.size %> # mistakenly equals zero

Played with the console and everything should be working fine...

You don't seem to be setting @game in your create method.

It'd help if you told us what your error was.

def create     @game = Game.new(params[:game])     @game.opponent = params[:team][:name]

    @home = Team.find_by_user_id(current_user.id)     @opponent = Team.find_by_name(params[:team][:name])

    for player in @home.players       player.update_attribute(:game_id, @game.id)     end

      if @game.save         flash[:notice] = 'Game was successfully created.'

        redirect_to edit_school_team_game_url(School.find_by_user_id(current_user.id), @home, @game)       else         render :action => "new"       end

  end

is my whole create method the error is that the game_id is never actually changed for any of the players. it remains nil

def edit     @game = Game.find(params[:id])     @players = Player.find_all_by_game_id(params[:id])   end

Am I not describing my problem correctly?

i'm absolutely perplexed... Player Update (0.000416) UPDATE players SET "created_at" = '2008-04-07 12:35:45', "school_id" = 2, "team_id" = 2, "first" = 'w', "updated_at" = '2008-04-07 12:43:38', "game_id" = NULL, "last" = 'o' WHERE "id" = 4

Why is it not setting game_id???

The game hasn't been saved and so it doesn't have an id.
