Question

OK, the scenario is: i`m trying to keep 3 nested forms on the same controller. The relation between the user and shop is working smoothly the problem arises between the shop and shop_type.
So, when i try update the shop_type info in shop edit view

Spit out this error: ShopType(#70233617878800) expected, got ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess(#70233610891660)

i searched already about this on api docs but but still a mystery for me why the shop_type is passing as a hash.

thanks.

ShopsController

def new
   @user = current_user
   @shop = @user.build_shop.shop_type

   end


   def create
     @user = current_user
      @shop = @user.build_shop(params[:shop])
          if  @shop.save   
        flash.now[:success] = "blah"
         render :edit
      else
        render  :new 
    end
  end

   def edit
 @user = current_user
  if @shop = current_user.shop 
   render :edit
  else render :new
   end
 end


   def update   
       @user = current_user
           @shop = current_user.shop
        if @shop.update_attributes(params[:shop])
         flash.now[:success] = "blah"
         render :edit
      else
        render  :edit
    end
  end 
end

ShopModel

 belongs_to :user
 belongs_to :shop_type

Shop_typeModel

has_many :shops
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :shops 
 attr_accessible :shops, :shop_attributes

Answer 1

I find out, still not clear why i have to use :shop_type_id instead of just :shop_type on fields_for.
