An event has many artists, and an artist has many events. The join model for an artist and an event is a performance. I want to add artists to an event.
This works except that I'm getting duplicate entries into my join table when creating a new event. This causes problems elsewhere.
event.rb
validates_presence_of :name, :location
has_many :performances, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :artists, :through => :performances
accepts_nested_attributes_for :artists, :reject_if => proc {|a| a['name'].blank?}
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :performances, :reject_if => proc { |a| a['artist_id'].blank? }
artist.rb
has_many :performances
has_many :events, :through => :performances
has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :small => "150x150>" },
:url => "/images/artists/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",
:path => ":rails_root/public/images/artists/:id/:style/:basename.:extension"
# validates_attachment_presence :photo
validates_attachment_size :photo, :less_than => 5.megabytes
validates_attachment_content_type :photo, :content_type => ['image/jpeg', 'image/png']
validates_presence_of :name
has_many :mixes
performance.rb
belongs_to :artist
belongs_to :event
events_controller.rb
def new
@event = Event.new
@event.artists.build
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @event }
end
end
def create
@event = Event.new(params[:event])
respond_to do |format|
if @event.save
flash[:notice] = 'Event was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(admin_events_url) }
format.xml { render :xml => @event, :status => :created, :location => @event }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @event.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
_form.html.erb
<% form_for([:admin,@event]) do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :location %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :location %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :date %><br />
<%= f.date_select :date %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</p>
<% f.fields_for :artists do |builder| %>
