I'm having three models with nested resource.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :basiccases
end
class Basiccase < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_one :form3_c
end
class Form3C < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :basiccases
end
resources :basiccases do
resources :form3_cs
end
I'm trying to send the basiccase to the new form using
<%= link_to "ADD Form3C", new_basiccase_form3_c_path(@basiccase)%>
and fetch the new value in the form using
<%= form_for([@form3c, @basiccase]) do |f| %>
in new view in form_for method. My controller code
class Form3CsController < ApplicationController
#before_filter :authenticate
def new
@title = "New Form 3C"
@basiccase = Basiccase.find_by_id(params[:id])
@form3c = Form3C.new if signed_in?
end
def create
@form3c = @basiccase.build_form3_c(params[:form3c])
if @form3c.save
flash[:success] = "Form created!"
redirect_to current_user
else
flash[:warning] ="Failed to create a Form"
render 'users/show'
end
end
end
My main aim is to get the basiccase_id in the create method of form3_c controller and assign the foreign key attribute. Is my approach correct ?
I'm getting an error
undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class
