I'm new to Rails and am trying to create a view form_for which adds data in two different models. I've looked at stack overflow posts about multiple models, and I've used a fields_for call to submit the information to the second model. However, my form submission only processes the form_for data, and not the fields_for. Please advise on how I would fix this. My two models are for users and schools (with the goal of someone registering their school and their own information, then being able to log in and attach that school to that adviser)
View code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
<%= fields_for(@school, :url => {:controller => "advisers",
:action => "new_school"}) do |s| %>
... fields...
<% end %>
<legend>Primary Adviser Information</legend>
... forms ...
<%= f.hidden_field :access_level, :value => "Adviser" %>
<p> </p>
<div class="col-md-12">
<%= f.submit "Register", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Advisers Controller:
def new
@user = User.new
@school = School.new
end
def new_school
@school = School.new(school_params)
@school.save
end
Routes:
resources :advisers do
collection do
post :new_school
end
end
Output:

Notice that it only activates the User post but not the advisers post.
