Student doesnt move to in class but stays in absent

[beisert1]

After logging attendance the student should be moved from absent to in class but I cant get that to show up correctly

The current join that was given for absent only returns those who have had attendances in the past. This is the code I used to get my absent functioning correctly, it is a streamlined version of Jaime's.

  def self.absent(date)
    attendances = Attendance.where(date)
    students = attendances.collect{ |a| a.student_id }
    Student.where.not(id: students)
  end

This is a cleaner way of writing (4 simple loops)

<% Student.in_seat(1, Date.today).each do |student| %>

instead of what you have which is

<% @seatOne = Student.in_seat(1, Date.today) %>

and

<% @seatOne.each do |s1| %>

These can cause an issue with accidentally mistyping something. I hope this helps and I hope others read the absent issue.

@beisert1 I noticed that in your students#index view file, up at the top you have @absentStudents = Student.absent(Date.today), but at the bottom you use @students.each do |student| for your loop, and in the controller you define students with @students = Student.all.

I'm not sure why your students are being displayed in class, but might be why they're not disappearing from the absent section.
