how to display vendor_id for my reviews by a given user?

Question

I am trying to write a simple application and I am stumped!

Here is what I have as a view for users/show/1:

<p>
  <b>User:</b>
  <%=h @user.login %>
</p>

    <% if @user.reviews.empty? %>
     No Analyst Reports yet
    <% else %>
     <% for review in @user.reviews %>
      <%= review.vendor_id %><%= review.summary %><br />
      <hr class="span-5" />

     <% end %>
    <% end %>

I created a relationship where user :has_many reviews and vendor :has_many reviews

So I assume that there should be a value for review.vendor_id, where vendor_id is just automatically created and can be displayed.

Thank you :)

Here is my Reviews model:

class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :vendor
  belongs_to :user

end

Actually this has been solved, I now need to go through the for-loop and display attributes of vendor....see my other question please! Thanks!

Answer 1

Does your review model have the corresponding belongs_to :user belongs_to :vendor - ?

Also, when a review is created, have you checked that the vendor_id is filled? check this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/753379/how-do-you-set-an-attribute-when-creating-an-activerecord-object
