I have been unable to figure out how to update a list of model
instances and their associations and I have looked in the
documentation, which doesnt give an example of what I am trying to do:
I would assume this is a common task though.
I have an established association:
class AlertRule < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :notification_emails, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :notification_emails
end
class NotificationEmail < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :alert_rule
end
Controller:
def alerts_config
//more code
@alert_rules = alert_rules.flatten
@alert_rules.each { |a| a.notification_emails.build }
render :partial => 'home/alerts_config', :layout => false
View:
= form_tag ‘/home/save_alerts_config/’ + @unit.id.to_s, :remote =>
true, :class => ‘ajaxForm’ do
%table.scrollTable{:cellspacing => “0”, :width =>
“740px”, :style => “border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;”}
%thead.fixedHeader
%tr
%th Alerts
%th Enable
%th Primary Email
%th Notification Emails
%th
%tbody.scrollContent
- for rule in @alert_rules
= fields_for :alert_rules, rule do |f|
%tr
%td= rule.alert_code.name
%td= check_box_tag “enabled_ids[]”, rule.id
%td= f.text_field :email, :value => rule.email, :index
=> rule.id
%td.fields
= f.fields_for :notification_emails do |
notification_builder|
= notification_builder.text_field :email
=
notification_builder.hidden_field :_destroy
= link_to_function ‘Remove Notification’,
‘remove_notifications(this)’
.save_panel
= submit_tag “Save”, :class => ‘submit myButton’
I look at the name attribute of one of the notification email fields,
and it looks like this:
However, it should look like this:
So what is missing is the association between this alert rule and its
notification emails. I am not sure how to make it look like the above.
But because it doesnt contain the id in brackets of the alert rule,
when I post, i get this back:

“71”=>{“email”=>“”}, “72”=>{“email”=>“”}, “73”=>{“email”=>“”},

“86”=>{“email”=>“”}, “87”=>{“email”=>“”}, “88”=>{“email”=>“”},
“89”=>{“email”=>“”}, “90”=>{“email”=>“”}, “91”=>{“email”=>“”}},
“id”=>“6243”}
It has this:
“52”=>{“email”=>“yutu”}
thats supposed to be another alert rule, not a notification email of
alert rule 51, and this occurs because the name attribute is not
including the id of the alert rule of the notification email.
thanks at all for any possible workaround for this
