    <p>I have a two-part question about form_for and nested resources. Let's say I'm writing a blog engine and I want to relate a comment to an article. I've defined a nested resource as follows:</p> <pre><code>map.resources :articles do |articles| articles.resources :comments end </code></pre> <p>The comment form is in the show.html.erb view for articles, underneath the article itself, for instance like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= render :partial =&gt; "articles/article" %&gt; &lt;% form_for([ :article, @comment]) do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.text_area :text %&gt; &lt;%= submit_tag "Submit" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>This gives an error, "Called id for nil, which would mistakenly etc." I've also tried</p> <pre><code>&lt;% form_for @article, @comment do |f| %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Which renders correctly but relates f.text_area to the article's 'text' field instead of the comment's, and presents the html for the article.text attribute in that text area. So I seem to have this wrong as well. What I want is a form whose 'submit' will call the create action on CommentsController, with an article_id in the params, for instance a post request to /articles/1/comments. </p> <p>The second part to my question is, what's the best way to create the comment instance to begin with? I'm creating a @comment in the show action of the ArticlesController, so a comment object will be in scope for the form_for helper. Then in the create action of the CommentsController, I create new @comment using the params passed in from the form_for. </p> <p>Thanks!</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.
