Question

I’m working on my first rails app and having a weird issue.
I’m using Rails 3.2.6 with mongodb.

In my view, I can get a label to display like so:

<%= f.label :percent  %>

But when I try the same thing with a text field
like so:

<%= f.text_field :percent  %>

the page doesn’t even load, nothing happens.

Here is my controller:

class TrimmingsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @order = Order.find params[:order_id]
end

And my model:

class Trimming
  include Mongoid::Document

  embedded_in :order

  field :percent, type: String

end

And here is my whole view:

<%= form_for @order do |f| %>
<p>
     <%= f.text_field :percent  %>  
</p>
<% end %>

I just want to get a text_field to display sorry for the
simpleton question but I’ve been trying for 2 days to get
this text field to pop up.

Answer 1

You need to make percent attr_accessible. Add this to your model.

attr_accessible: :percent
