I know its late on a friday but I have a method question
William H. Harle Jr.
I'm sure this is pure amateur hour but I'm trying to debug a multiple
uploads with paperclip issue and I'm not sure what a piece of code
means.
Basically, I'm in a model, called LineSheet.
def new_page_image_attributes=(page_image_attributes)
page_image_attributes.each do |attributes|
page_images.build(attributes)
end
end
this is one of the methods I am supposed to add to this model so I can
add multiple page_images to my line sheets through a js call to a file
with
<div class="page_image">
<% new_or_existing = page_image.new_record? ? 'new' : 'existing' %>
<% prefix = "line_sheet[#{new_or_existing}_page_image_attributes][]" %>
<% fields_for prefix, page_image do |p| %>
<p>
<%= p.label :page_image %><br />
<%= p.file_field :data, :index => nil %>
<%= link_to_function "remove", "$(this).up('.page_image').remove()" %>
</p>
<% end %>
I keep getting the same error,
@line_sheet[new_page_image_attributes]' is not allowed as an instance
variable name
and its driving me crazy. So I've been trying to debug my issue with
the help of script/console. From script/console
>> LineSheet.new.new_page_image_attributes
NoMethodError: undefined method `new_page_image_attributes' for
#<LineSheet:0x42e800c>
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb:260:in
`method_missing'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/spree-0.8.3/vendor/plugins/attribute_fu/lib/attribute_fu/associations.rb:28:in
`method_missing'
from (irb):3
I know this must have something to do with how the method is being
defined and its just a method definition technique i don't know yet,
but it's driving me crazy not understanding why this method is
throwing a no method error when i call it. Does anyone have it in
their heart to school my undereducated ass on this subject? Thank you
all kindly and have an awesome memorial day weekend.
