  1. POHow do I automatically add a row to an existing table on creation of new user in ruby on rails?
    text
    copied!<p>I would like to add a row to <code>photo_albums</code> table in my db containing the user ID for <code>current_user</code> and an album title "Posts Album" <code>before_create</code>.</p> <ul> <li>User has many PhotoAlbums</li> <li>PhotoAlbum belongs to User</li> </ul> <p>I achieve something similar using <code>before_create :build_profile</code> to build an empty row for users personal information in my profiles table. This code is inside my user model.</p> <p>I'd like to achieve something similar but in my <code>photo_albums</code> table. On creation of user create an album in the <code>photo_albums</code> table that will store all micropost related images. On creation of user I just need a row with <code>album title = "post album"</code> and their user id.</p> <h3>Model snippet</h3> <pre><code>class User &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_one :profile, :autosave =&gt; true has_many :photo_albums has_many :microposts before_create :build_profile </code></pre> <h3>Controller's <code>create</code> action</h3> <pre><code>def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) respond_to do |format| if @user.save login @user UserMailer.join_confirmation(@user).deliver format.js { render :js =&gt; "window.location = '#{root_path}'" } else format.js { render :form_errors } end end end </code></pre> <p>How can I do this? Please notice a user has many photo albums so I can't use <code>build_photo_album</code>. I've read some info in the guides but still can't figure this out. Would appreciate a solution.</p>
