    <p>I have Employees, Contacts and Users. When a new Contact or Employee is created, their respective model creates a new User. These are the relations:</p> <pre><code> Contact belongs_to :user Employee belongs_to :user User has_one :contact User has_one :employee </code></pre> <p>Right now I've got an email field in all 3 tables. But, I'd like to remove the email field from the Contact and Employee and only use the User.email.</p> <p>Currently the Contact Model code is this:</p> <pre><code>before_create :create_user protected def create_user self.user = User.create({ :email =&gt; self.email, :password =&gt; 'password' }) return user.save end </code></pre> <p>The Contact form has this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;%= f.input :email %&gt; </code></pre> <p>How can I get the email into the Contact form and pass it to the Contact controller to put into the new User record?</p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p> <p>UPDATE1</p> <p>I tried this, but it didn't work:</p> <p>Contact Form:</p> <pre><code> &lt;%= text_field_tag :email %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Contact Controller:</p> <pre><code> protected def create_user self.user = User.create({ :email =&gt; params[:email], :password =&gt; '123456' }) return user.save end </code></pre> <p>UPDATE 2</p> <p>I tried this, but it doesn't work:</p> <p>Contact Form:</p> <pre><code> &lt;%= params[:email] = email_field_tag 'email'%&gt; </code></pre> <p>Contact Controller:</p> <pre><code> before_create :create_user protected def create_user self.user = User.create({ :email =&gt; params[:email], :password =&gt; '123456' }) return user.save end </code></pre>

    1. COIs the model code displayed for Contact? If so, it seems a bit odd to me that the parent would be created as a before_filter of the child, rather than the child being created as an after_filter of the parent. Am I reading this correctly?

    2. COI have two forms to add users = New Contact or New Employee. When you add a person to either one, a new User is created.

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.
