Okay so my associations are:
Outlet -> has_many :monitorings
Monitoring -> belongs_to :outlet
My Routes:
resources :outlets do
resources :monitorings
end
View:
<%= link_to new_outlet_monitoring_path(@outlet) %>
When I click the link, the logs show that the outlet_id is passed as a parameter to the new page correctly. But when saving the monitoring record, the outlet_id becomes nil.
Any help?
UPDATE:
# views/monitorings/_form.html.erb
<%= form_for(@monitoring) do |f| %>
<h2>Type of Monitoring</h2>
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" >
<div class="radio-group">
<%= f.radio_button :mtype, "Full" %><%= f.label :mtype, "Full", value: "Full" %>
<%= f.radio_button :mtype, "Partial" %><%= f.label :mtype, "Partial", value: "Partial" %>
<%= f.radio_button :mtype, "None" %><%= f.label :mtype, "None", value: "None" %>
</div>
</fieldset>
<hr>
<%= f.submit "Next Step" %>
<% end %>
And the controller:
# controllers/monitoring_controller.rb
def new
@monitoring = Monitoring.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: @monitoring }
end
end
def create
@monitoring = Monitoring.new(params[:monitoring])
respond_to do |format|
if @monitoring.save
format.html { redirect_to @monitoring, notice: 'Monitoring was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: @monitoring, status: :created, location: @monitoring }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: @monitoring.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
