rails 3, paperclip (& formtastic) - deleting image attachments - ruby-on-rails

I can't seem to find an example that is complete in all the components. I am having a hard time deleting image attachments
Classes
class Product
has_many :product_images, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :product_images
end
class ProductImage
belongs_to :product
has_attached_file :image #(etc)
end
View
<%= semantic_form_for [:admin, #product], :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
<%= f.inputs "Images" do %>
<%= f.semantic_fields_for :product_images do |product_image| %>
<% unless product_image.object.new_record? %>
<%= product_image.input :_destroy, :as => :boolean,
:label => image_tag(product_image.object.image.url(:thumb)) %>
<% else %>
<%= product_image.input :image, :as => :file, :name => "Add Image" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Controller
class Admin::ProductsController < AdminsController
def edit
#product = Product.find_by_permalink(params[:id])
3.times {#product.product_images.build} # added this to create add slots
end
def update
#product = Product.find_by_permalink(params[:id])
if #product.update_attributes(params[:product])
flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated product."
redirect_to [:admin, #product]
else
flash[:error] = #product.errors.full_messages
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
end
Looks good, but, literally nothing happens when I check the checkbox.
In the request I see:
"product"=>{"manufacturer_id"=>"2", "size"=>"", "cost"=>"5995.0",
"product_images_attributes"=>{"0"=>{"id"=>"2", "_destroy"=>"1"}}
But nothing gets updated and the product image is not saved.
Am I missing something fundamental about how 'accepts_nested_attributes_for' works?

From the API docs for ActiveRecord::NestedAttributes::ClassMethods
:allow_destroy
If true, destroys any members from the attributes hash with a _destroy key and a value that evaluates to true (eg. 1, ‘1’, true, or ‘true’). This option is off by default.
So:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :product_images, allow_destroy: true

Rails nested form attributes not getting saved

I've already looked through every other stackoverflow for this issue, but none of the solutions have fixed this. My elements in a nested_form are not being saved in the database. I've also made sure that all model associations are correct. I've been trying to fix this for nearly 8 hours now, and would really appreciate some help, especially considering every other solution hasn't worked.
Basically, I have a Playlist model that contains multiple Song models. I'm trying to use a nested_form to add the Song models to the Playlist. However, none of the Songs are ever being saved. I apologize if my methods are misguides, as I'm still fairly new to Rails.
GitHub Repo:https://github.com/nsalesky/Ultra-Music
playlists_controller.rb
def index
#user = current_user
#playlists = #user.playlists
end
def show
#user = current_user
#playlist = #user.playlists.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#playlist = Playlist.new
#I was told to do this
#playlist.songs.build
end
def create
#user = current_user
#playlist = #user.playlists.create(playlist_params)
if #playlist.save
redirect_to #playlist
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
def edit
#playlist = current_user.playlists.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#user = current_user
#playlist = #user.playlists.find(params[:id])
if #playlist.update_attributes(playlist_params)
redirect_to #playlist
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
#user = current_user
#playlist = #user.playlists.find(params[:id])
#playlist.destroy
redirect_to playlists_path(#user.playlists)
end
private
def playlist_params
params.require(:playlist).permit(:name, :description, songs_attributes: [:id, :name, :link, :_destroy])
end
playlist.rb
belongs_to :user
has_many :songs, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :songs, :allow_destroy => true, :reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:content].blank? }
validates :name, presence: true
validates_associated :songs, presence: true
_form.html.erb
<%= nested_form_for #playlist do |f| %>
<div>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.text_field :description %>
</div>
<!--<div>
<button type="button" id="addsong">Add Song</button><br>
<button type="button" id="removesong">Remove Song</button><br>
</div> !-->
<div>
<%= f.fields_for :songs do |song_form| %>
<%= song_form.text_field :name %>
<%= song_form.text_field :link %>
<%= song_form.link_to_remove "Remove Song" %>
<% end %>
<p><%= f.link_to_add "Add Song", :songs %></p>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
In your playlist.rb, you wrote:
:reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:content].blank? }
Here the block parameter |a| stands for attributes of a specific song. So a[:attribute] relates to a single attribute. The problem is your Song doesn't have a :content attribute. So this a[:content].blank? will always be true, means you would be rejected building a song.
Just change a[:content] to a valid attribute such as a[:name]

Rails - Use fields_for to create multiple nested objects

Hoping someone can help out with this. I have two models order and date_order. Each order can have multiple date_orders, and I should be able to create many date_orders as I create an order.
How do I do that? As you can see, my code is working well for creating ONE date_order and relating it to the created order.
UPDATE: I have tried to create many "builders" in my orders/new file. It worked on the view, and created an order when I entered multiple dates and times. But the fields_for did not create any date_orders.
orders_controller.rb
def new
#order = Order.new
#order.date_orders.build
end
def create
#order = Order.new(order_params)
if #order.save
flash[:success] = "blah"
redirect_to #order
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def order_params
params.require(:order).permit(:user_id, :purpose,
date_orders_attributes: [:id, :order_date, :time_start, :time_end, :order_id])
end
order.rb
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :date_orders, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :date_orders, :reject_if => lambda { |a| a[:content].blank? }, :allow_destroy => true
end
date_order.rb
class DateOrder < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :order
end
order/new.html.erb
<%= form_for(#order, :html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %>
## SOME QUESTIONS ##
<%= f.fields_for :date_orders do |builder| %>
<%= builder.label :date %>
<%= builder.date_field :order_date %>
<%= builder.label :starting_time %>
<%= builder.time_field :time_start %>
<%= builder.label :ending_time %>
<%= builder.time_field :time_end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Build more orders_dates:
class OrdersController < ApplicationController
def new
#order = Order.new
5.times { #order.date_orders.build } # < === HERE ===
end
private
def order_params
params.require(:order).permit(:user_id, :purpose,
# |- === HERE ===
date_orders_attributes: [:id, :content, :order_date, :time_start, :time_end, :order_id])
end
end
Update:
Also, add content to your strong params whitelist.

How to add has_many :through details to a form RoR

I'm doing what appears to be a common learning app for Ruby on Rails, the recipe app. Specifically, working on recipes and ingredients as a has_many :through relationship. Through looking at a million examples and questions, I've got my many-to-many relationship setup and my multi-model form working, but I'd like to add an additional field and can't get it working. Feels like I'm close to understanding how this stuff works. Here are the quick details:
Models:
class Ingredient < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :recipe_ingredients
has_many :recipes, :through => :recipe_ingredients
end
class RecipeIngredient < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :recipe
belongs_to :ingredient
end
class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :recipe_ingredients
has_many :ingredients, :through => :recipe_ingredients
accepts_nested_attributes_for :ingredients, :recipe_ingredients
def new_recipe_ingredient_attributes=(recipe_ingredient_attributes)
recipe_ingredient_attributes.each do |attributes|
recipe_ingredients.build(attributes)
end
end
def existing_recipe_ingredient_attributes=(recipe_ingredient_attributes)
recipe_ingredients.reject(&:new_record?).each do |recipe_ingredient|
attributes = recipe_ingredient_attributes[recipe_ingredient.id.to_s]
if attributes
recipe_ingredient.attributes = attributes
else
recipe_ingredient.delete(recipe_ingredient)
end
end
end
def save_recipe_ingredients
recipe_ingredients.each do |recipe_ingredient|
recipe_ingredient.save(false)
end
end
end
Controller:
def create
#recipe = Recipe.new(params[:recipe])
if #recipe.save
redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => #recipe
flash[:notice] = "Your record has been saved."
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
def update
params[:recipe][:existing_recipe_ingredient_attributes] ||= {}
#recipe = Recipe.find(params[:id])
if #recipe.update_attributes(params[:recipe])
redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => #recipe
flash[:notice] = "Your changes have been saved."
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
View:
<% form_for(#recipe) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
etc.....
Ingredients:
<div id="recipe_ingredients">
<div class="recipe_ingredient">
<% new_or_existing = recipe_ingredient.new_record? ? 'new' : 'existing' %>
<% prefix = "recipe[#{new_or_existing}_recipe_ingredient_attributes][]" %>
<% fields_for prefix, recipe_ingredient do |ri_form| %>
<p>
<%= ri_form.collection_select(:id, Ingredient.find(:all), :id, :name, :include_blank => true) %>
<%= ri_form.text_field :amount %>
</p>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit 'Create' %>
</p>
<% end %>
Sorry for the wall of code, hopefully it makes sense. The thing I can't understand is why the "amount" text field doesn't work. I've tried a million different ways, but can't get it working. In this case, the error I get is "undefined method `amount' for #"
What key connection am I missing here? Thanks.
At first glance it appears you should simply replace:
<% fields_for prefix, recipe_ingredient do |ri_form| %>
with:
<%= fields_for prefix, recipe_ingredient do |ri_form| %>

Carrierwave image upload in nested form still creating record even no file is specified

I have a Carrierwave image upload in a nested simple_form which works (sort of) unless the user does not specify a file, in which case a blank Picture object is created unless there was a previously existing one. Not quite sure how to make it so that if the user doesn't specify a "new" image to upload, the old one isn't deleted and/or a blank record without a file is created.
One (maybe odd) thing I am doing is always sending the logged in #user to the user#edit action, then building a #user.picture if it doesn't exist. I am thinking this is where my bad design is.
# user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
[...]
has_one :picture, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :picture
[...]
end
# picture.rb
class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :image, :remove_image
belongs_to :user
mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
end
# users_controller.rb
def edit
if #user.picture.nil?
#user.build_picture
end
end
#_form.html.erb
<%= simple_form_for #user, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
<%= render "shared/error_messages", :target => #user %>
<h2>Picture</h2>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :picture do |pic| %>
<% if #user.picture.image? %>
<%= image_tag #user.picture.image_url(:thumb).to_s %>
<%= pic.input :remove_image, :label => "Remove", :as => :boolean %>
<% end %>
<%= pic.input :image, :as => :file, :label => "Picture" %>
<%= pic.input :image_cache, :as => :hidden %>
<% end %>
<br/>
#rest of form here
<% end %>
I think I had the same issue which I solved by adding a reject_if option to the accepts_nested_attribute. So in your example, you could do something like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
[...]
has_one :picture, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :picture,
:reject_if => lambda { |p| p.image.blank? }
[...]
end
When you use build_* it sets the foreign key on the object. ( similar to saying Picture.new(:user_id => id) )
Try This
# users_controller.rb
def edit
if #user.picture.nil?
#user.picture = Picture.new
end
end
Today I had the same problem, I solved this like:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :photos,
:reject_if => :all_blank

Paperclip: "missing" image

I'm working on a website that allows people who run bed and breakfast businesses to post their accommodations.
I would like to require that they include a "profile image" of the accommodation when they post it, but I also want to give them the option to add more images later (this will be developed after).
I thought the best thing to do would be to use the Paperclip gem and have a Accommodation and a Photo in my application, the later belonging to the first as an association.
A new Photo record is created when they create an Accommodation. It has both id and accommodation_id attributes. However, the image is never uploaded and none of the Paperclip attributes get set (image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil), so I get Paperclip's "missing" photo.
Any ideas on this one? It's been keeping me stuck for a few days now.
Accommodation
models/accommodation.rb
class Accommodation < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :title, :description, :photo, :thing, :location
attr_accessible :title, :description, :thing, :borough, :location, :spaces, :price
has_one :photo
end
controllers/accommodation_controller.erb
class AccommodationsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required, :only => {:new, :edit}
uses_tiny_mce ( :options => {
:theme => 'advanced',
:theme_advanced_toolbar_location => 'top',
:theme_advanced_toolbar_align => 'left',
:theme_advanced_buttons1 => 'bold,italic,underline,bullist,numlist,separator,undo,redo',
:theme_advanced_buttons2 => '',
:theme_advanced_buttons3 => ''
})
def index
#accommodations = Accommodation.all
end
def show
#accommodation = Accommodation.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#accommodation = Accommodation.new
end
def create
#accommodation = Accommodation.new(params[:accommodation])
#accommodation.photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])
#accommodation.user_id = current_user.id
if #accommodation.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created your accommodation."
render :action => 'show'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
def edit
#accommodation = Accommodation.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#accommodation = Accommodation.find(params[:id])
if #accommodation.update_attributes(params[:accommodation])
flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated accommodation."
render :action => 'show'
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
#accommodation = Accommodation.find(params[:id])
#accommodation.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Successfully destroyed accommodation."
redirect_to :inkeep
end
end
views/accommodations/_form.html.erb
<%= form_for #accommodation, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
Title<br />
<%= f.text_field :title, :size => 60 %>
</p>
<p>
Description<br />
<%= f.text_area :description, :rows => 17, :cols => 75, :class => "mceEditor" %>
</p>
<p>
Photo<br />
<%= f.file_field :photo %>
</p>
[... snip ...]
<p><%= f.submit %></p>
<% end %>
Photo
The controller and views are still the same as when Rails generated them.
models/photo.erb
class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :image_file_name, :image_content_type, :image_file_size
belongs_to :accommodation
has_attached_file :image,
:styles => {
:thumb=> "100x100#",
:small => "150x150>" }
end
To create an upload with paperclip, you need to use the name you provided for the has_attached_file line, on the model you defined it on. In your case, this will result in this view code:
<%= form_for #accommodation, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :photo do |photo_fields| %>
<p>
Photo<br />
<%= photo_fields.file_field :image %>
</p>
<% end %>
<% end %>
In the controller:
class AccommodationsController < ApplicationController
# also protect create and update actions!
before_filter :login_required, :only => [ :new, :create, :edit, :update ]
def new
# always make objects through their owner
#accommodation = current_user.accommodations.build
#accommodation.build_photo
end
def create
#accommodation = current_user.accommodations.build(params[:accommodation])
if #accommodation.save
# always redirect after successful save/update
redirect_to #accommodation
else
render :new
end
end
end
Tell Rails to handle the nested form:
class Accommodation
has_one :photo
accepts_nested_attributes :photo
attr_accessible :photo_attributes, :title, :description, :etc
end
And make sure to set the accessible attributes right in your photo model:
class Photo
attr_accessible :image # individual attributes such as image_file_name shouldn't be accessible
has_attached_file :image, :styles => "etc"
end
Be sure to watch your log files to spot things that are protected by attr_accessible, but still are in your form.
