Two points to fix, I think.
One is that you create a new Cart object every time if it is not in the session. So imagine that your payment via PayPal fails for whatever reason you want. In this case you will finish to have multiple Cart records with purchased_at set to nil what is not ideal.

Another one is that you will assign first name and last name of the payer and display their values in the orders#new page. But what for, just to display, because the values will not be submitted with the form in OrdersController#create and will be lost when saving the order. Any tips for that ?

Something like this worked for me:

def initialize(user)
    allow :home, :index
...
allow "devise/sessions", [:new, :create]
    allow "devise/registrations", [:new, :create, :destroy]      
    allow_param :user, [:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me]
if user
        allow "devise/registrations", [:edit, :update, :cancel]
        allow "devise/sessions", [:destroy]
...
allow_all if user.admin?
end

Hope this helps

How is it possible to use that with nested attributes (forms). I have my models defined as follows:

class Timesheet < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  has_many :activities, dependent: :destroy, inverse_of: :timesheet
  has_many :time_entries, through: :activities
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :activities, allow_destroy: true
end

class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :timesheet, inverse_of: :activities
  belongs_to :task
  has_many :time_entries, order: :workdate, dependent: :destroy, inverse_of: :activity
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :time_entries, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: proc { |a| a[:worktime].blank? }
end


class TimeEntry < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :activity, :inverse_of => :time_entries
  validates :worktime, presence: true, inclusion: { in: [0.5, 1] }       
  validates_presence_of :activity     
end

Actually it does not work. As far I could see at Ryan's strong_parameters rails casts github https://github.com/railscasts/371-strong-parameters, he managed to do that (not very dynamically as he said and only for one post). In my case I have 1 or more activity with 7 time_entries each. Any idea how to do that? Thank you.

Fails if there is more than one nested resource. In my case I have: Timesheet-> accepts_nested_attributes_for :activities, Activity -> accepts_nested_attributes_for :time_entries. In permission file I declared it as follows:

        allow_param :timesheet, [:status, :user_id, :start_date, :end_date] 
        allow_nested_param :timesheet, :activities_attributes, [:task_id]
        allow_nested_param :activity, :time_entries_attributes, [:workdate, :worktime]

Nevertheless, I always get the error that time_entries attributes is empty. Any idea ? Thanks and regards

I followed by letter the screencast tuto but got the below errors:

Solved. I don't know why after copy-paste it did not work but after creating the same project from scratch everything worked fine. Thanks!

Great episode, Ryan, Thanks a lot> I tried it on a Windows machine with some minore modifications(added some specific gem dependencies) and everything worked as needed. Then I copy-pasted the same project on a Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) PC, changed the dependencies in Gemfile for gem 'libnotify', :group => [:test, :development], and the guard fails after running the bundle and 'guard' commandes:

Any idea on that?
I'm on Rails 3.1. and use Ruby 1.9.2 p0 version.
Thanks a lot.
