Default has_many does not update association

[denispeplin]

I created two models without explicitly specifying associations in Netzke.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :name
  has_many :pages
end

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  attr_accessible :name, :url
end

class Pages < Netzke::Basepack::Grid
  def configure(c)
    super
    c.model = "Page"
  end
end

When I'm editing Page, it does update all the attributes except User. I selected User from drop-down list, but its parameter passed to netzke controller looks incorrect: \"user__name\":1 and in result user_id after updating is nil.

I've put code into repository: https://github.com/denispeplin/extjs_tut/tree/ne (uses netzke from gem in this tag, but I also tried with current netzke, same issue).

Not sure it is netzke-core issue, maybe it is just component does not work properly.

It's a common mistake. Just add :user_id to the attr_accessible list.

Added, restarted server, reloaded page. Still does not work. Netzke keeps passing user_id as user_name parameter.

This is intended - a foreign key value is always passed as a value for assoc column. Can you post your final models code?

That was right request! Somehow I mistakenly put this :user_id to User model itself.

So now my Page model looks like:

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  attr_accessible :name, :url, :user_id
end

And it works!

Thank you!

Just one thing that is probably wrong: when I' working with standard Rails, and if its need to mass-assign some protected attribute, it will complain loudly, raising an exception. But Netzke does not even displays a warning.

I agree, this should be fixed (in Basepack). Working on it right now. Thanks for all your constructive feedback so far, looking forward for more!

[denispeplin]

I'm almost sure it will be more feedback :)

Thank you!
