Question

I’m using a model that belongs to 2 other models. When I try to create it, I manage to get both ids, but the content itself isn’t stored in database

 def create
    @person = Person.find(current_person)
    @message = Message.create(:group => Group.find(params[:group_id]), :person => Person.find(current_person))
    if @message.save
      redirect_to(:back)
    else
      redirect_to(:back)
    end
  end



<% form_for(:message, :url => messages_path(:person_id => current_person.id, :group_id => @group.id)) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :content %> 
<%= f.submit "Submit" %>
<%end %>

Also, content is set as text in database and I’m using PostgreSQL.

Answer 1

@message = Message.create params[:message].merge(:group => Group.find(params[:group_id]), :person => Person.find(current_person))
