Ruby on Rails

Thanks for taking a look! The "event_select" was what I was passing from the event view. The event_selected was how I was using that in the invitation new form. I was trying to seperate the names so if something broke I knew where it was bringing up the error. I have found that sometimes the naming of objects in rails seems redundant in the examples and it's hard to figure out what exactly is calling what.

I noticed a discrepancy in the field name:

In the find query, you're using :event_select, and in the posted parameters, its :event_selected.

As Fred pointed out, your use of strong parameters and the form helpers seems wrong, but aside from those problems, it looks like you're not actually calling your "invite_params" method anyways. If you want to make use of strong parameters, in "new", you would use, Event.find(invite_params[:event_selected]).

Best,
