Rails

I try to update a nested model (version) and get this error. any tips
would be great!

my models: location has_many :versions

view

<% form_for location do |location_form| %>


  • <%= location_form.label location.section %>

  • <%= location_form.label location.sub_section %>

  • <%= location_form.label location.place_holder %>

<div class="content-area">
   <% location.versions.each do |version| %>
      <div class="content" >
        <% location_form.fields_for version do |version_form| %>
          <%= version_form.label version.environment %>
          <%= version_form.text_area :content %>
        <% end %>
      </div>
  <% end %>
  <%= submit_tag %>
</div>

<% end %>

#controller

def update
@location = Location.find(params[:id])
@location.update_attributes(params[:location]) #error: unknown
attribute: version
redirect_to( locations_path )
end

the params

{“location”=>{“version”=>{“content”=>“hello human. glass robot want
you to join Glass”}}, “commit”=>“Save changes”,
“authenticity_token”=>“l59NxAeIeHnvaVt+1xQV2e9NpDIS8nPpQ4RY+hU0k7w=”,

Hi Oren,

Try this “accepts_nested_attributes_for :versions” in the location.rb
file.

Cheers!

I already have this:

has_many :versions, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :versions

This is how I did my nested forms (actually I have 3 forms nested):

<% form_for [@resource, @validity] do |f| %>
<% f.fields_for :timesheets do |t| %>
<% t.fields_for :values do |v| %>
R$ <%= v.text_field :value, :maxlength=>10 %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit “Save” %>
<% end %>

resource has_many validities
validity has_many timesheets
timesheet has_many values

I use version and not :vorsion here: (since i believe i need to
provide an object)
location_form.fields_for version do |version_form|

could it be related to the issue?

It works now. I had 2 loops and had to remove the external one:
<% location.versions.each do |version| %>

fields_for already create a loop on the children, so there is no need
for another loop.

thanks!
