I am using ActiveAdmin and Rails 3.1 -- having problem understanding whether the following is a bug, or if there is some way to do it correctly that I am not understanding. I am trying to use a nested model with a has one relationship, so that I can create a page and fill out it's meta data in 1 step. -- (page has_one meta_data, accepts_nested_attributes_for meta_data)
Example 1) in this example, when I click new page, meta data section is there but there are no input fields -- also, if I edit the record, it shows up correctly, however the fieldset is duplicated in the second section... and if I remove the f.inputs wrapping semantic_field_for (which would make sense), then it breaks completely and shows nothing in the meta data area...
form do |f|
f.inputs "Page Information" do
f.input :name
f.input :uri
f.input :view
f.input :body, :as => :text
f.input :active
end
f.inputs "Meta Data" do
f.semantic_fields_for :meta_data do |meta_form|
meta_form.inputs :title, :description, :keywords, :name => "Meta Information"
end
end
end
I understand the meta data probably isn't being instantiated, but I am not sure how I am supposed to do that in the form block? (or if I can even do it) -- The only way I am able to get this to work is by doing using a custom form, and building the meta data in the view, which looks like this
2) How I am working around it, but seems hacky
<%= semantic_form_for [:admin, @page] do |f| %>
<% @page.build_meta_data %>
<%= f.inputs :name => "Page Information" do %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.input :uri %>
<%= f.input :view %>
<%= f.input :body, :as => :text %>
<%= f.input :active %>
<% end %>
<%= f.semantic_fields_for :meta_data do |meta_form| %>
<%= meta_form.inputs :title, :description, :keywords, :name => "Meta Information" %>
<% end %>
<%= f.buttons %>
<% end %>
Thanks in advance for any help or clarification.
(note to moderators I started another thread on this but was not as clear and didn't have the workaround solution I do now yet, so if one of the questions should be deleted please delete the other)
I found a better solution for you. You can use :for
option in inputs
helper.
f.inputs "Meta Data", for: [:meta_data, f.object.meta_data || MetaData.new] do |meta_form|
meta_form.input :title
meta_form.input :description
meta_form.input :keywords
end
I think this might work too, but I didn't check
f.inputs :title, :desctiption, :keywords,
name: "Meta Data",
for: [:meta_data, f.object.meta_data || MetaData.new]
