I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I am trying to pass four different variables to a single table. To be more specific I am trying to create a "like" in a likes table that also captures the site_id (like an answer), user_id, and the question_id. Here is the set up.
class Like < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :site
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :question
end
I will spare you the reverse, has_many associations but they are there. Here is the likes controller where I think the problem is.
class LikesController < ApplicationController
def create
@user = current_user
@site = Site.find(params[:site_id])
@like = @site.likes.create!(params[:like])
@like.user = current_user
@like.save
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to @site}
format.js
end
end
end
This code successfully passes the like and site_id but after many different variations of trying I can't get it to pass the question id. Here is my form:
/views/sites/_site.html.erb (though the partial is being displayed in the /views/questions/show.html.erb file).
<% remote_form_for [site, Like.new] do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :site_name, :value => "#{site.name}" %>
<%= f.hidden_field :ip_address, :value => "#{request.remote_ip}" %>
<%= f.hidden_field :like, :value => "1" %>
<%= submit_tag "^" , :class => 'voteup' %>
<% end %>
