copied!<p>You are using a <code>text_field</code> for referencing an existing object, a <code>select</code> with Sports as options would be more appropriate here.</p> <p>This is where it has to be changed:</p> <pre><code><div class="field"> <%= f.label :sport %><br /> <%= f.text_field :sport %> </div> </code></pre> <p>To:</p> <pre><code><div class="field"> <%= f.label :sport %><br /> <%= f.select :sport_id, options_for_select(Sport.all.map{|s|[s.name, s.id]}) %> </div> </code></pre> <p>The <code>f.select</code> will generate a select box in HTML, the options will me all the sports in your DB.</p> <p><strong>Some documentation about it</strong>:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper/select">http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper/select</a></li> <li><a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#select-boxes-for-dealing-with-models">http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#select-boxes-for-dealing-with-models</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>A cleaner way</strong> would be to set a variable <code>@sports</code> in your controller and call it then in your views:</p> <pre><code># in controller def edit @sports = Sport.scoped #... # in edit view <div class="field"> <%= f.label :sport %><br /> <%= f.select :sport_id, options_for_select(@sports.map{ |s| [s.name, s.id] }) %> </div> </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Additionnal information:</strong> If you want to "pre-select" an option for the select, you have to pass it as the second argument of the <code>options_for_select</code> helper:</p> <pre><code>options_for_select(@sports.map{ |s| [s.name, s.id] }, params[:sport_id]) # this will select by default the option that matches the value of params[:sport_id] </code></pre>
