I have three models - users, manufacturers, and lines. I need users to have multiple manufacturers, and each manufacturer to have multiple lines. I'm to the point where lines is finally pulling the manufacturer_id on the _form, but now it's not saving the 'name' of the 'line', only the id. It'll save the 'name' as nil, like it's not passing in the name from the form. I've read the standard docs on this and I can't for the life of me get it working. It keeps hanging up on the final create stage in the controller, and I have a feeling that I've got a lot of things wrong in the paths of the form and the controller. Hoping someone will take it easy on me and help me get the whole shebang working.
