Nested Form (Railscast #196) - ruby-on-rails

I understand some railscasts may be old, but revised shouldn't be. I am trying really hard to overcome nested form, but most answer i get is use a plugin. So i try to make the railcasts from scratch but an exception occurs. I am wondering what would be the Railcasts 196 Updated Version has today with proper code.
Here my code, maybe its a silly mistake from me.
Survey Model
class Survey < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :questions, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :questions , :reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:content].blank? }, :allow_destroy => true
attr_accessible :name, :questions_attributes
end
Question Model
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :survey
attr_accessible :content, :question_id
accepts_nested_attributes_for :answers , :reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:content].blank? }, :allow_destroy => true
attr_accessible :name, :answers_attributes
end
Answer Model
class Answer < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :questions
attr_accessible :content, :question_id
end
Survey Show Form
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_survey_path(#survey) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', surveys_path %>

end
end
Here my error when creating a new survey
Not sure what else could be wrong
ArgumentError in SurveysController#create
No association found for name `answers'. Has it been defined yet?
Here the new error
SyntaxError in Surveys#new

Add has_many :answers to the Question model and change the Answer model to belongs_to :question.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Any help would be much much appreciated!
try it
<address>
<%= f.object.build_customer if f.object.customer.nil? %>
<%= f.fields_for :customer do |customer| %>
<%= render 'customer_fields', f: customer %>
<%= link_to_add_association 'Add customer',f, :customer %>
<% end %>
</address>
edit
in the Luissimo solution was missing to insert invoice_id in customer schema
rails generate migration AddInvoiceIdToCustomer invoice_id:integer
rake db:migrate
Invoice.first.build_customer
Looking at your original code, in your controller you should have added:
def new
#invoice = Invoice.new
#invoice.customer.build
end

nested fields_for not showing up in forms

Can't believe I did this -- was missing <%= on fields_for

Rails 4: Nested Attributes Not Showing on Form

I am trying to run through a simple nested_attributes exercise, where a question has many answers (how like life is that?). I can't get the answers field to show up in either the 'new' or the 'edit' actions. As far as I can tell, I'm following the specs precisely. Clearly, this is not the case. Any pointers appreciated, thanks.
Models
# question.rb
has_many :answers
accepts_nested_attributes_for :answers
# answer.rb
belongs_to :question
View
# _form.html.erb
<%= form_for(#question) do |f| %>
...
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :content, 'Question' %><br>
<%= f.text_field :content %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<% f.fields_for :answers do |ff| %>
<%= ff.label :content, 'Answer' %><br>
<%= ff.text_field :content %>
<% end %>
</div>
...
<% end %>
Controller
# questions_controller.rb
def new
#question = Question.new
#question.answers.build
end
def edit
end
def create
#question = Question.new(question_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #question.save
format.html { redirect_to #question, notice: 'Question was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #question }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #question.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
private
def question_params
params.require(:question).permit(:content, answer_attributes: [:id, :content, :question_id] )
end
Use <%=, not <%, otherwise the resulting output from the field_for Form Builder won't be output to the form.
<%= f.fields_for :answers do |ff| %>
Now I just need to figure out why the nested attribute (the answer)
isn't saving to the database.
Extending #Dylan Markow's answer.
Since it is has_many answers,it should be answers_attributes instead of answer_attributes in your question_params method.
def question_params
params.require(:question).permit(:content, answers_attributes: [:id, :content, :question_id] )
end

Rails 4 - Fields Which are Not a Part of a Model in Form

I'm having problem with some attributes which are not a part of my model. I'm trying to design a simple payment page as you can see below, all the fiels are represented in my database, except card_number and card_verification for security reasons.
When I load the page it is throwing an error:
undefined method `card_number' for #<Order:0x00000004eddb00>
undefined method `card_verification' for #<Order:0x00000004eddb00>
What's wrong with my form?
Thanks.
The Form:
<%= simple_form_for(#order, html:{class: "well"}) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :first_name %>
<%= f.input :last_name %>
<%= f.input :card_type, collection: ["Visa", "MasterCard"] %>
<%= f.input :card_expires_on %>
<%= f.input :card_number %>
<%= f.input :card_verification %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
order.rb:
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :participation
end
orders_controller.rb:
class OrdersController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_order, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def new
#order = Order.new
end
def create
#order = Order.new(order_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #order.save
format.html { redirect_to #order, notice: 'Order was successfully created.' }
format.json { render action: 'show', status: :created, location: #order }
else
format.html { render action: 'new' }
format.json { render json: #order.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
private
def set_order
#order = Order.find(params[:id])
end
def order_params
params.require(:order).permit(:ip_address, :first_name, :last_name, :card_type, :card_expires_on, :user_id, :participation_id)
end
end
I think the part that is throwing the error should be this in your form:
<%= f.input :card_number %>
<%= f.input :card_verification %>
You could try adding:
attr_accessor :card_number, :card_verification
to your model.

Rails posts show up blank, not saving

I tried to submit a new post and I get the error
"Title can't be blank"
So I removed the validations in my model and after trying again and posting something, the post is just blank, no data is saved whatsoever.
I don't know what to do, I stuck on this one, help!
Update!
Here is the form
<% #post.tags.build %>
<%= form_for #post, :html => {:multipart => true } do |post_form| %>

</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<h2>New Site Submission</h2>
<%= render 'form' %>
<%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
</div>
With this line in your model:
attr_accessible :photo
You make only the photo attribute mass-assignable. All other attributes, including the title, are dropped when you create a new post.
Try this:
attr_accessible :photo, :title
It will now accept the title, but not the other attributes.
edit: didn't see your own comment above, but you figured it out already.
