How can i add user_id into params[:page] i don't want to use hidden fields.
@page= Page.new(params[:page])
Is there a way to use like
@page= Page.new(:name=>params[:page][:name], :user_id => current_user.id)

1@sscirrus: Hidden fields can be seen in the HTML source on the client. If you want to add sensitive information to the model (i.e. UUID), then it would be better to add the field to the model on the server-side.laker– laker2012-09-24 15:25:30 +00:00Commented Sep 24, 2012 at 15:25

I use this day in and day out:
@page= Page.new(params[:page].merge(:user_id => 1, :foo => "bar"))
Instead of doing it that way, build the association (assumes you have has_many :pages in the User model):
@page = current_user.pages.build(params[:page])
This will automatically set user_id for the Page object.

@Rails101: current_user.pages.build(params[:page].merge(:other_id => other_id)
Instead of trying to merge the current_user id, you can build the proper model associations and then scope the new() method
Models
class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :pages
end
Controller
if current_user
@page = current_user.pages.new(params[:page])
else
@page = Page.new(params[:page])
end
