I have a Course model which habtm categories. I am trying to have checkboxes to add or delete categories from the new and update courses pages.


Models:

course.rb
# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: courses
#
#  id                     :integer          not null, primary key
#  course_number          :integer
#  partner                :string(255)
#  title                  :string(255)
#  length                 :integer
#  includes_certification :boolean
#  overview               :text
#  price                  :integer
#  created_at             :datetime
#  updated_at             :datetime
#  more_link              :string(255)
#

class Course < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.per_page = 8
  has_and_belongs_to_many :course_dates
  has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
  attr_accessible :course_number, :partner, :title, :length, :includes_certification, :overview, :more_link, :price, :tags, :course_dates_attributes, :categories_attributes
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :course_dates, allow_destroy: true
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :categories, allow_destroy: true
end



category.rb
# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: categories
#
#  id            :integer          not null, primary key
#  name          :string(255)
#  created_at    :datetime
#  updated_at    :datetime
#

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :courses
  attr_accessible :name
end


My form is being built from this partial:

= simple_form_for(@course) do |f|
  = f.error_notification

  .form-inputs
    = f.input :course_number
    = f.input :partner
    = f.input :title
    = f.input :length
    = f.fields_for :course_dates do |builder|
      = render 'course_date_fields', f: builder
    = link_to_add_fields "Add Date", f, :course_dates
    = f.input :includes_certification
    = f.input :overview
    = f.input :more_link
    = hidden_field_tag "course[category_ids][]", nil
    - Category.all.each do |category|
      = check_box_tag "course[category_ids][]", category.id, @course.category_ids.include?(category.id), id: dom_id(category)
      = label_tag dom_id(category), category.name
    = f.input :price

  .form-actions
    = f.button :submit

I tried using simple_form's f.association as: :check_boxes and also the f.collection_check_boxes but both end in the same problem. I can see the checkboxes but when I click update it doesn't save the categories I checked or unchecked.

I have been trying to figure out why, figured it was a problem with mass assignment but I don't know what else I can do with attr_accessible to make it work.
