    <p>I have a User model and a Company model linked like this:</p> <pre><code>class User &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :company accepts_nested_attributes_for :company end class Company &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :users end </code></pre> <p>On the sign in page, I want the user to set up both his info (mail, password) and his company info (several fields). So my form looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= simple_form_for @user, :html =&gt; { :class =&gt; 'form-horizontal' } do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.input :email, :required =&gt; true, :placeholder =&gt; "user@domain.com" %&gt; &lt;%= f.input :password, :required =&gt; true %&gt; &lt;%= f.input :password_confirmation, :required =&gt; true %&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Company info&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;%= simple_fields_for :company, :html =&gt; { :class =&gt; 'form-horizontal' } do |fa| %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :name %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :url %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :description, :as =&gt; :text, :input_html =&gt; { :cols =&gt; 60, :rows =&gt; 3 } %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :logo %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :industry %&gt; &lt;%= fa.input :headquarters %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;div class="form-actions"&gt; &lt;%= f.submit nil, :class =&gt; 'btn btn-primary' %&gt; &lt;%= link_to t('.cancel', :default =&gt; t("helpers.links.cancel")), root_url, :class =&gt; 'btn' %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>My user model has a <code>company_id:integer</code> field. So logically, when I sign in the user, the first thing to do is to create the Company before the User and then give to the user creation model the appropriate <code>company_id</code>. So I wrote this:</p> <pre><code>class UsersController &lt; ApplicationController before_create :create_company def new @user = User.new end def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.save redirect_to root_url, :notice =&gt; "Registration successful." else render :action =&gt; 'new' end end private def create_company @company = Company.new(params[:company]) if @company.save self.company_id = @company.id else render :action =&gt; 'new' end end end </code></pre> <p>Problem is: when accessing /users/new I get this error:</p> <pre><code>undefined method `before_create' for UsersController:Class </code></pre> <p>What's going wrong? I checked, before_create has not been deprecated, I'm in Rails 3.2.8. This is probably something stupid with my <code>create_company</code> method but I can't figure why...</p> <p>Thanks a lot for helping!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
