Model Associations

[jman78]

I'm trying to create a simple POS (Point of Sale) system.

I have associations set up in the order models to the items and seats (tables)

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_many :order_splits
	has_many :order_split_items, :through => :order_splits
	belongs_to :seat, :foreign_key => 'table_id'
end

class OrderSplit < ActiveRecord::Base
	belongs_to :order
	belongs_to :order_split_item
end

class OrderSplitItem < ActiveRecord::Base
	belongs_to :items
	has_many :order_splits
	has_many :orders, :through => :order_splits
end

class Seat < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_many :orders
end

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
	belongs_to :item_category
	belongs_to :order_split_item
end

class ItemCategory < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_many :items
	#has_many :modifiers            #ignore for now
	#has_many :modifier_attributes  #ignore for now 
end

Each Order has one to several order_splits and each order_split is comprised of one to several order_split_items. Each Order is set to one seat(table) via the key order.'table_id' -> 'seat.id' . do I need attr_accessors for everything? Is that the problem or do I need to change the associations I set up?

I'm getting errors when I try to reference any settings on the order object once it is saved.

my controller code that saves is:

def show_menu 
#creates order and order_split (seat at the table)
...
@new_order = Order.new(:server_id => @server_id, :table_id => @table_id, :guest_count => @guest_count)
	  	session[:order] = @new_order if @new_order.save
	  	
	  	@order_split = OrderSplit.new(:order_id => @new_order.id, :seat => @table_seat)
end

def add_item
@order_split_item = OrderSplitItem.new(:order_split_id => params[:order_split_id], :item_id => params[:item_id], :quantity => params[:quantity])
 item_saved = false 
 item_saved = true if @order_split_item.save
	
 if item_saved
    @split_item = @order_split_item 
    @split_item[:name] = @order_split_item.item_name #errors here
    @split_item[:price] = @order_split_item.price
 end 
 ...
end

Thanks,

Jason
