This active profile must be authorized by an administrator to make sure that it is compliant with the rules and regulations of the site. When a user edits their profile their public profile is unaffected until the administrator signs off their cha...
When using the new accepts_nested_attributes_for in ActiveRecord, it's possible to use the option :allow_destroy => true. When this option is set, any hash containing nested attributes like {"_delete"=>"1", "id"=>"..."} passed to update_attributes will delete the nested object. Simple setup: class Forum < ActiveRecord::Base has_many ...
I cannot seem to get a nested form to generate in a rails view for a belongs_to relationship using the new accepts_nested_attributes_for facility of Rails 2.3. I did check out many of the resources available and it looks like my code should be working, but fields_for explodes on me, and I suspect that it has something to do with how I ha...
I have a model, Person, with the following association: has_many :distributions accepts_nested_attributes_for :distributions, :allow_destroy => true validate :distributions_must_total_100 The custom validation currently fails when it shouldn't -- when some of the validations have been marked for destruction -- because they still sho...

I am finding (noodling around in script/console) that if I add a new item to the associated collection, I don't have to call foo.reload to see the resulting change: foo.bars => [] foo.bars_attributes = [{ :person_id => '288', :task_id => '1237' }] => [{ :person_id=>"288", :task_id=>"1237" }] foo.save => true foo.bars => [#<Bar id: 6, pe...

It worked quite easily and as expec...
I have a basic two tiered model structure: Articles -> Comments with one Article having many comments. What is the best way to add a "Add a comment" form to the bottom of the Articles show page? nested_attributes is overkill as I don't want to be able to edit all of the comments on the page, just to add one more. Is the best way even ...
I have two models, links and tags, associated through a third, link_tags. The following code is in my Link model.

In my application an User has many Projects. I want to create a "add many projects" form, so the User can create many Projects at once. It seemed to me that the quickest way was to make a User form with Project fields nested in it, and omit the User fields. This way when the form is submitted, the User is saved and all the new Project r...
