Nested rails form without accepts_nested_attributes_for

I am update a clients rails application and its rails 

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.2.2'

and I need a nested form...any suggestions of another idea

I have user which has one profile

Solution

  • Best if it's possible to upgrade to the Rails 2.3.5 or edge (2.3.8 is a little broken with nested attributes). If this project have a good test coverage, then why not?

    Else just move that logic into the controller and sleep well, because it will "just work".

    Main concept of a "complex forms" you can find here:
