So I'm not entirely at a loss here. I've got the main Character model and three other models associated with Character: Statistic, Safe and Combat. Here's what the Character screen looks like:
Once you click through on a character, this is what you see:
Now say you want to click through on Statistics:
But here's the problem. The individual characters are all using the same instance of the Statistic model. I haven't worked with the other models yet, but I'm assuming this would be true for them as well. How do I need to edit the code so each Character has a separate Statistic, instead of the same Statistic being shared?
Here's my code from the routes.rb file:
DungeonRoller::Application.routes.draw do
resources :combats
resources :saves
resources :statistics
resources :characters do
resources :combats
resources :saves
resources :statistics
end
And some code from the models:
class Character < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :statistics
has_many :combats
has_many :saves
end
And each of the other models have:
class Statistic < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :character
end
I thought associating these as has_many would solve the problem, but apparently I was wrong. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!
All the code you pasted looks fine. I think the problem lies in how you're interacting with statistics. Make sure you're using @character.statistic instead of Statistic, this will automatically scope it to that character's statistic instead of ALL statistics.
ReplyDelete@Eli I haven't checked through this code since I've been working through Agile Web Development, but I'm sure you're right. The funny thing is, I knew it was something along those lines but didn't know how to express that feeling or how to go about solving it. Soon enough!
