Body
So I have a method in a reservation model called add_equip. This method does some checking to make sure the added piece of equipment is valid (not conflicting with another reservation). The checks work. If a added piece of equipment shouldn't be added it isn't, and if it should it is. The problem is I can't figure out how to send the messages back up to the controller to be put in the flash message? I know I must be missing something here, but I've googled for a few hours now and can't really find any clear explanations how how to pass errors back up the the controller, unless they are validation errors. add_equip in reservations_controller <pre><code> def add_equip @reservation = Reservation.find(params[:id]) @addedEquip = Equip.find(params[:equip_id]) respond_to do |format| if @reservation.add_equip(@addedEquip) flash[:notice] = "Equipment was added" format.html { redirect_to(edit_reservation_path(@reservation)) } else flash[:notice] = @reservation.errors format.html { redirect_to(edit_reservation_path(@reservation)) } end end end </code></pre> add_equip in reservation model <pre><code>def add_equip equip if self.reserved.find_by_equip_id(equip.id) self.errors.add_to_base("Equipment Already Added") return false elsif !equip.is_available?(self.start, self.end) self.errors.add_to_base("Equipment Already Reserved") return false else r = Reserved.new r.reservation = self r.equip = equip r.save end end </code></pre> Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I'm missing something basic here.

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.
