Two models with restful_authentication

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hai everyone, I am using restful_authentication plugin in my project. The relation between the category and user is has_and_belongs_to_many. So I created another table category_users with category_id and user_id as fields. In my view i specified like the following. <% for category in Category.find(:all) %>             <%= category.name %>             <%= check_box_tag("user[category_ids]","#{category.id}") %> <%end%> But when I tried to save the user model the categories of the user is not saving in the table category_users. Data to the table users is saving. What I have to do for storing data to category_users? (more than one category for a single user). Please help. Thanks in advance

Try to load up script/console, and check if user.category_ids= [1,3,6,...] works ..

Thanks for the immediate reply.

Solve the issue by adding attr_accessible :category_ids in the model. But another error is coming ie undefined method `to_sym' for #<State:0x665cc04> installed the plugin with --include-activation and --stateful options. I dont' understand the reason for that. Pls help. Any suggestions for a good documentation of using the restful_authentication plugin?
