I'm trying to figure out how can I have list of physicians in my appointment form as radio_buttons. Now if I use "f.input :physician_id, :as => :radio_buttons" I'm getting a "Yes/No" radio buttons. And if I change to "f.association :physician_id, :as => :radio_buttons", then I'm getting RuntimeError "Association :user_id not found".
By the way, i'm using simple_form for this.
Thanks.
My Appointment form:
<%= simple_form_for(@appointment) do |f| %>
<div class="form-inputs">
<%= f.hidden_field :patient_id %>
<%= f.input :physician_id, :as => :radio_buttons %>
<%= f.hidden_field :appointment_date, :value => DateTime.now %>
</div>
<div class="form-actions">
<%= f.button :submit, "Create Appointment" %>
</div>
<% end %>
My models:
/app/models/physician.rb
class Physician < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :appointments
has_many :patients, :through => :appointments
attr_accessible :physician_name
end
/app/models/appointment.rb
class Appointment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :physician
belongs_to :patient
attr_accessible :physician_id, :patient_id, :appointment_date, :state
end
/app/models/patient.rb
class Patient < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :appointments
has_many :physicians, :through => :appointments
attr_accessible :patient_name
end
My Controllers:
/app/controllers/appointment_controller.rb
class AppointmentsController < ApplicationController
def new
@appointment = Appointment.new
@appointment.patient_id = params[:patient_id]
end
def create
@appointment = Appointment.new(params[:appointment])
if @appointment.save
flash[:notice] = "New appointment record created"
redirect_to dashboards_path
else
render 'new'
end
end
end
