[Rails] Re: Problem passing id of parent model to child

Yes that's what I get as a path. I have solved this issue. Its silly really, it turns out I needed to make an @organization instance available throughout my projectsController, so I made a before filter to fetch it based on the url. 

Quick question though, do I need to update all the controller methods to reference the parent model whenever I have a one to many relationship like this one (changing everything to @organization.projects.someMethod)? This looks tedious to me. Does Rails help with this?

What path do you get? It should be something like "/organizations/:id/projects/new". This is where you can add a form for example to add a new project.

Do you try to POST to that path above? If so, that's wrong (it's for GET requests). Read more about nested resources here:

Hey fellas,

I have an Organization model with many projects. I have a link to a new project from the organization's show view, like so: new_organization_project_path (@organization). I was hoping Rails would get the id of the organization from the instance I am passing and populate project.organization_id, but to no avail. The db rollbacks back and get redirected to the new project page. Any ideas? How would you normally do this? 

Best,
