First, I just have to say that I never thought I’d be in Japan, let along blogging from here.

Today I ran into a little gotcha with restricting access to models when trying out the Rails 2.3 method of nested models. In my model, I have:

  has_many :dnskeys, :dependent => true
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :dnskeys,
    :allow_destroy => true,
    :reject_if => proc { |attrs| attrs.all? { |k, v| v.blank? }}

  attr_accessible :name

I was surprised, although I should not have been, that this prevented me from posting a zone and its dnskeys in the same action. Adding the proper attr_accessible line made the magic happen again:

  attr_accessible :dnskeys_attributes
