[FIXED] When a Post comment is made, no more can be created, only shown

Issue

I am trying to get a post and comment system working, for this however i want only one comment to be made per post. Only as i am trying to create a system as where content will be displayed followed by a comment 7 times in one post... Example...

program model 1 body content 1

Commentmodel1

program model 1 body content 2

Commentmodel2

program model 1 body content 3

Commentmodel3

.etc.etc.

For Me this is the simplest way of being able todo this by creating 7 different comment models, i know there is probably an easier way but as im new this seems the simplest. However i am struggling getting the one comment model to only allow just one comment to be made.

In this application coach is the user.

Here are the files involved, For the Models, program is the basic Post model, and comments is comments.

programs/Show.html.erb

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

<p>
  <b>Title:</b><br />
  <%= @program.title %>
</p>

<p>
  <b>Body:</b><br />
  <%= @program.cweekcomments %>
</p>


<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_program_path(@program) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', programs_path %>

<br /><br /><br />
<i>Comments</i>
<% @program.comments.each do |comment| %> 
  <p>
    <b>Comment:</b>

    <% if comment %>
        <%= comment.body %>
        <br />
        <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_program_comment_path(@program, comment) %> | <%= link_to 'Destroy', [@program, comment] , method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
    <% else %>
        <%= form_for([@program, @program.comments.build]) do |f| %>
        <div class="field">
        <%= f.label :body %><br />
        <%= f.text_area :body %>
        </div>
        <div class="actions">

In advance, thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Solution

Change your program comment relation to has_one.(has_one :comment in your program.rb)

def create
   @program = Program.find(params[:program_id])
   if @program.comment
     flash[:error] = "Cannot comment more than once"
   else
     @comment = @program.comments.create(params[:comment])
     flash[:notice] = "Comment created"
   end
   redirect_to program_path(@program)
end
