Hitting A Wall & Making A Plan

Day 82 of Flatiron School

I like to think this is what the wall looks like

I’m stuck. It’s no fun. I still have things to try but I’ve hit a wall. It’s to be expected and the nested form I’m working on is by no means a simple thing. However, this is basically the BIG problem in this project. In my opinion at least this is the hardest part of this project.

Include a nested form writing to an associated model using a custom attribute writer (form URL, model name e.g. /recipe/new, Item)

This requirement is the big one IMO. Actually, why not show off the spec and see what others think. Is this a strong project?

That’s what I have checked off as well so far. I’m pretty far along and once I nail this nested form part I think the rest will be easier. If memory serves me correctly the nested show/index/new is accomplished through my routes so that isn't even too complex. I already have an idea for my class level scope method. Then form errors being displayed. Hopefully I can solve this nested form early tomorrow afternoon and be past it. The interesting thing is my associated model is writing just fine and it’s the “parent” that isn’t creating. I might just go back and comment out the nested part and just get the basic form to work correctly first. Actually, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Not sure why I didn't to begin with. I’m just trying to get too much accomplished at once.

Okay, now I have my plan of action for tomorrow which makes me happy.

I also plan to completely redo my personal site and install Ghos on it. I discovered today that I can install Ghost via cPanel on my webhost. BTW, I absolutely love my webhost and you should check them out… GeekGhost. I switched to them because they support Let’s Encrypt and a lot of the large hosts do not because they want you to buy SSL certs from them. Might move my GitHub Pages site over to that as well. Create a unified site for myself since I currently have stuff all over the place. We’ll see.
