Can't mass-assign protected attributes: asset - ruby-on-rails-3

I followed the tutorial screencast over here: http://www.emersonlackey.com/article/rails-paperclip-multiple-file-uploads. I want my model have multiple pictures upload show up.
I have examined carefully every steps, the most common issue is forget to add assets_attributes to attr_accessible, I have done that. Another issues might bbe forgot to add ID to asset model, i done that too. However, I still have trouble understanding why it happen.
Can't mass-assign protected attributes: asset in app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:24:in `update'
I have already add list of all attributes for a Post to post model. Like:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :content, :assets_attributes
validates :user_id, presence: true
belongs_to :user
has_many :assets
accepts_nested_attributes_for :assets, :allow_destroy => true
default_scope order: 'posts.created_at DESC'
end
Here is the post_controller.rb file:
def edit
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
5.times { #post.assets.build }
end
def update
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
if #post.update_attributes(params[:post])
redirect_to #post, :notice => "Post has been updated."
end
def create
post = current_user.posts.build(params[:post])
if post.save
flash[:success] = "post created success!"
redirect_to #post
else
#feed_items = []
flash[:failure] = "post created fail!"
redirect_to root_path
end
end
def new
#post = current_user.posts.new #if signed_in?
5.times { #post.assets.build }
end
Here is the template file:
<%= simple_form_for(#post, :html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :content %>
<%= f.text_field :content %>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :assets, :html => { :multipart => true } do |asset_fields| %>
<% if asset_fields.object.new_record? %>
<P><%= asset_fields.file_field :asset %> </P>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :assets, :html => { :multipart => true } do |asset_fields| %>
<% unless asset_fields.object.new_record? %>
<P><%= link_to image_tag(asset_fields.object.asset.url(:thumb)), asset_fields.objects.asset.url(:original) %>
<%= asset_fields.check_box :_destroy %></P>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Below is asset.rb:
class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
has_attached_file :asset,
:style => { :large => "640x480", :medium => "300x300", :thumb => "100x100"} ,
:path => ":rails_root/public/system/posts/images/:id/:style/:filename",
:url => "/system/posts/images/:id/:style/:filename"
end
Can someone give me some hint ? Thanks a lot!

Your Asset model needs to have attr_accessible on it too - specifically for the asset field.

Rails 3 - how to assign the value to nested attributes before calling save in update action

Models associations are
document.rb
has_many :sections
accepts_nested_attributes_for :sections, :allow_destroy => :true, :reject_if => proc { |attrs| attrs.all? { |k, v| v.blank? } }
section.rb
belongs_to :document
has_many :paragraphs, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :contents :through => :paragraphs
validates :user_id, :presence => { :message => "Must be filled" }
paragraph.rb
attr_accessible :user_id, :section_id, :content_id
belongs_to :section
belongs_to :content
validates :user_id, :section, :content, :presence => { :message => "Must be filled" }
paragraphs table just like a intermediate table for sections and contents and I want to save records in documents, sections and paragraphs table using single submission.
So I designed form as like
_form.html.erb
<%= form_for #document, :validate => true do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<% f.fields_for :sections do |builder| %>
<%= builder.text_field :name %>
<%= builder.select :content_ids .... {:multiple => true} %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
example parameters when submiting the form
{"document"=>{"name"=>"sdf", "sections_attributes"=>{"0"=>{"name"=>"sdf", "description"=>"sdf", "_destroy"=>"0", "content_ids" => ["1", "2"]}}, "commit"=>"Update Document", "id"=>"3"}
In additionally, I am updating current_user's id to user_id column of paragraphs table.
update
#document = Document.find(params[:id])
#document.attributes = params[:document]
#document.sections.each {|section|
section.user_id = current_user.id
section.paragraphs.each {|paragraph| paragraph.user_id = current_user.id}
}
if #document.save!
# success
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
I got "Validation failed: User Must be filled".
Is validation triggered when assigning attributes using object.attributes= as above
How to assign the value to user_id in paragraph object before calling save method
Might help.
<%= f.hidden_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %>

How to write routes with model inherit

I have a model in app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end
And I have another model in app/models/post/note.rb
class Post::Note < Post
mount_uploader :file, FileUploader
end
In my controller :
def new
#note = Post::Note.new
end
My view form is :
<%= simple_form_for #post, :validate => true, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal'} do |form| %>
<%= form.input :title, :validate => {:presence => true} %>
<%= form.button :submit %>
<% end %>
The error is undefined methodpost_notes_path' for #<#:0x007fe3d3fe2b08>`
I want to know how to write the correct route config ?
You can specify the url as an option to simple_form, to override the default path it uses. So if your Post::Note model has a path helper note_path, then this should work:
<%= simple_form_for #post, :url => note_path, :validate => true, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal'} do |form| %>
<%= form.input :title, :validate => {:presence => true} %>
<%= form.button :submit %>
<% end %>

Rails: Validation for a simple_form using has_many relationship (e.g. Person, Phone)

I'm struggling getting the desired validation with nested models within a simple_form. You'll be able to see from the models below a Person can have many Phone's, the desired behaviour is to present edit fields for any existing numbers plus an additional one should for a new number, if this new number isn't filled in by the user then it's just ignore and not saved in the database. I also want to achieve similar with Email.
When landing on the /people/:id/edit page this blank field is being prematurely validated and producing visible errors on the form before submitting. It doesn't do this when visiting /people/:id/new page; I'm assuming that this is because new_record? returns true for the user model on the new page? In reading a similar post I added on: :save as a parameter to validates on the Phone model although this just allowed blank records into the database, perhaps because this isn't relevant when the user model is saving the record?
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
has_many :phones, :as => :phoneable
has_many :emails, :as => :emailable
has_many :addresses, :as => :addressable
attr_accessible :first_name, :job_title, :last_name, :prefix, :phones_attributes, :emails_attributes, :addresses_attributes, :company_id
accepts_nested_attributes_for :phones, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: proc { |attributes| attributes['number'].blank? }
accepts_nested_attributes_for :emails, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: proc { |attributes| attributes['email'].blank? }
accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: :all_blank
validates :first_name, :last_name, presence: true
def to_s
"#{first_name} #{last_name}"
end
end
class Phone < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :phoneable, polymorphic: true
attr_accessible :number, :phone_type
validates :number, :phone_type, presence: true, on: :save # as suggested in a similar post, just allows blank records into database.
def to_s
"#{phone_type}: #{number}"
end
end
With both the new and edit controller I'm creating a new instance of each of these models so that they show up on the form. #person is loaded in the controller using load_and_authorize_resource as part of cancan.
def new
#person.phones << Phone.new
#person.emails << Email.new
end
Here is the partial view for the form:
<%= simple_form_for #person, :html => { :class => 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %>
<fieldset id="<%= controller.action_name.capitalize %>_person">
<legend><%= controller.action_name.capitalize %> Person</legend>
<%= f.input :prefix %>
<%= f.input :first_name %>
<%= f.input :last_name %>
<%= f.input :job_title %>
<%= f.association :company, :prompt => "Select associated company..." %>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :phones do |phone| %>
<%= phone.input :phone_type, :collection => %w(Work Home Mobile Fax Other), :default => "Work" %>
<%= phone.input :number %>
<% end %>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :emails do |email| %>
<%= email.input :email_type, :collection => %w(Work Home Other), :default => "Work" %>
<%= email.input :email %>
<% end %>
<div class="form-actions">
<%= f.submit nil, :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
<%= link_to t('.cancel', :default => t("helpers.links.cancel")),
people_path, :class => 'btn' %>
</div>
</fieldset>
<% end %>
Many thanks for any help in advance :-)

Rails - Nested Model Fails to Save

I'm rather new to Rails and I'm writing a signup form that includes nested models. When I submit the form, the user is saved just fine, but the nested model does not save anything to the Subscription db, and the console throws no errors.
I sincerely hope I'm not missing something insanely obvious, and I appreciate any tips you can share. Thanks!
Here is the code-
Models:
class Plan < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :posts, :name, :price
has_many :users
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :plan
has_many :events
has_one :subscription, :autosave => true
accepts_nested_attributes_for :subscription
attr_accessible :subscription_attributes
def save_with_payment
if valid?
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
email:email,
plan: plan_id,
card: stripe_card_token )
self.stripe_customer_token = customer.id
save!
end
rescue Stripe::InvalidRequestError => e
logger.error "Stripe error while creating customer: #{e.message}"
errors.add :base, "There was a problem with your credit card."
false
end
end
class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :plan_id, :status, :user_id
belongs_to :user
end
This is the User controller:
def new
#user = User.new
plan = Plan.find(params[:plan_id])
#user = plan.user
#user.build_subscription
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save_with_payment
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Welcome to the SendEvent!"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
This is the form:
<%= form_for #user, :html => {:class => "form-inline"} do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>
<div class="control-group">
<%= f.label :name, :class => "control-label" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
# A few more fields here and...
# The nested model:
<%= f.fields_for :subscription do |builder| %>
<%= builder.hidden_field :status, :value => true %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Create my account", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary", id: "submitacct" %>
<% end %>

undefined method `has_many' for Formtastic

I'm getting this error :
undefined method `has_many' for #<Formtastic::SemanticFormBuilder:0xb410d4c>
It work when I use it like this :
ActiveAdmin.register Ressource do
form do |f|
f.inputs do
f.input :offer_id, :as => :hidden
f.input :name
f.input :category, :include_blank => false, :collection => Category.order('place ASC').all, :member_label => :to_label
f.input :description, :input_html => {:class => 'editor'}
f.input :price
end
f.has_many :roles do |app_f|
app_f.inputs do
if not app_f.object.id.nil?
app_f.input :_destroy, :as => :boolean, :label => "Supprimer l'utilisateur du lot"
end
app_f.input :user, :member_label => :to_label, :label => 'Assigné le lot'
app_f.input :name, :include_blank => false
end
end
f.buttons
end
end
But it doesn't work in a partial, i need to call the has_many method by a different way or something else ?
ActiveAdmin extends formtastic with some useful helpers such as has_many (lib/active_admin/form_builder.rb in the activeadmin gem).
Unfortunately, these helpers are not available by default in your templates.
Here are two options:
If you don't need the extra has_many functionality (it looks like active_admin adds some javascript to make it easy to add a new record to the collection), then you can use stock formtastic. This example should work fine in the activeadmin file as well as in a partial:
ActiveAdmin.register Ressource do
form do |f|
# ...
f.inputs :for => :roles do |app_f|
# ...
app_f.input :name, :include_blank => false
end
f.buttons
end
end
Use the ActiveAdmin form builder explicitly:
<%= semantic_form_for [:admin, #resource], builder: ActiveAdmin::FormBuilder do |f| %>
<!-- ... -->
<%= f.has_many :teachers do |app_f| %>
<%= app_f.inputs do %>
<!-- ... -->
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= f.buttons %>
<% end %>
I hope this helps.
There is a solution
form :html => {:multipart => true} do |f|
end
Or, if you want to use partial:
<%= active_admin_form_for [:admin, #resource] ,:html => {:multipart => true} do |f|%>
<% end %>
