My goal is to display select box for each relation for users and specific project. All users need to be listed but only project users have some type of relation. Other users have none selected in theirs select box.
I have this model:
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
has_many :tasks, :order => 'state_type_id ASC'
has_many :project_user_relations
has_many :users, :through => :project_user_relations
def t_name
name.camelcase
end
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
has_many :tasks , :foreign_key => :assigned_user_id
has_many :project_user_relations
has_many :projects, :through => :project_user_relations
def full_name
firstname + ' ' + lastname
end
def relation_to(project)
relation=ProjectUserRelation.find_by_project_id_and_user_id(project.id, id)
relation ||= relation=ProjectUserRelation.new
end
end
class ProjectUserRelation < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :project
belongs_to :user
has_one :project_user_relation_type
end
class ProjectUserRelationType < ActiveRecord::Base
def t_name
I18n.t("app.projects.users.relation.type."+code)
end
end
I want make a form to display all users, with collection_select. I used code:
def edit_all
@project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
@users = User.all
....
in my controler routes works ok.
in my view:
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<%= f.fields_for :users, user do |user_fields| %>
<tr class="reference" rel="<%= parent_user_path(user) %>" >
<td class="name"><%= link_to user.full_name, parent_user_path(user) %></td>
<td class="email"><%= mail_to user.email %></td>
<td class="type">
<%= user_fields.fields_for user.relation_to @project do |relation_fields| %>
<%= relation_fields.collection_select :project_user_relation_type, ProjectUserRelationType.all, :id, :t_name, {:include_blank => false, :prompt => t("helpers.select.prompt") } %>
<% end %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
<% end %>
or for test:
<%= f.fields_for :users, @users do |xuser_fields| %>
<% logger.debug "#{self.to_s} xuser_fields = #{xuser_fields.object.inspect} ;" %>
<tr>
<td><%= xuser_fields.text_field :firstname %></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
but notnihng woks right
first one generates wrong name in html:
select id="project_users_project_user_relation_project_user_relation_type" name="project[users][project_user_relation][project_user_relation_type]"
second one generates error: undefined method `firstname' for # Array:0x4d03658
Can you help me to solve this situation.
PS:sorry for long code :(
SOLUTION (probably - solved by reading RoR sources)
I found sollution i thing.
A method
def name_attributes=(attributes)
# Process the attributes hash
end
in Project model was missing.
It is unbelievable sollution :]. There is also exact syntax after fields_for: :name, @some_collection, where name must be exactly same name as in the beginign of mentioned def in Model.
