Ruby on Rails Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Hi everyone, I'm new to ruby/rails and trying to build a simple
Projects / Tags app where Projects and Tags are associated as
has_and_belongs_to_many to each other. It's basically a simple list of
projects that have tags associated, and those tags in turn can be re-
used by multiple projects.

I've been loading tags into projects like this:

my_project = Project.create(:name => "My Project")
my_tag = Tag.create(:content => "My Tag")
my_project.tags << my_tag

All appears well until I try to load the info into my View. I have a
list of projects, each with a small table below that lists the
associated tags:

<table>
<% @projects.each do |project| %>
<table>
<tr>
<td width="300"><%= project.name %></td>
<td width="100"><%= link_to 'Edit project',
edit_project_path(project) %></td>
<td width="100"><%= link_to 'Nuke project', project, :confirm
=> 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td><%= project.tags %></td>
</tr>
</table>
<% end %>
</table>

The View output I get is:

[1] My Project Edit Project Nuke Project
[2] [#<Tag id: 1, content: "My Tag", created_at: "2012-03-27
19:27:26", updated_at: "2012-03-27 19:27:26">, #<Tag id: 2, content:
"My Other Tag", created_at: "2012-03-27 19:41:04", updated_at:
"2012-03-27 19:41:04">]

In line [2] How do I go about only displaying the values of :content
and not the entire hash? Also - is this how I should associate tags
with projects?

Would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction. Much
appreciated!!

Thanks!
Jason
