Problems with HABTM and ActiveAdmin

Question

I've looked for this exhaustively on StackOverflow and Google but found no answer to help me out, so I'm asking this though I know the subject has been hardly discussed here.

I have a HABTM relation between Contests and Subjects, my log shows de array of id's when posting a new contest or editing an existing one, but it simply doesn't record anything in my postgres DB.

I'm using ActiveAdmin 1.0 and Rails 4

Below follows my code:

class Contest < ActiveRecord::Base
    attr_accessor :subjects_ids

    has_and_belongs_to_many :subjects
    belongs_to :examination_board 
    belongs_to :bureau
    belongs_to :role
    belongs_to :degree
    belongs_to :career
end

class Subject < ActiveRecord::Base
    attr_accessor :contests_ids

    has_many :questions
    has_and_belongs_to_many :contests
end

ActiveAdmin.register Contest do

  permit_params :name,
                :year,
                :state,
                :city,
                :examination_board_id,
                :role_id,
                :degree_id,
                :career_id,
                :bureau_id,
                subjects_ids: [:id]

  # scope :states

  index do
    column "Nome", :name
    column "Banca Examinadora", :examination_board
    column "Matérias" do |subject|
      div :class => 'subjects' do
        subjects = ['yo','la','ho'].join(', ')
      end
    end
    actions
  end

  form do |f|
    f.semantic_errors 
    f.inputs          
    f.input :subjects, as: :check_boxes, collection: Subject.all
    f.actions         
  end

end

My log:

I appreciate any suggestion, thank you all!

thanks for editing @dgilperez I was just trying to make it more readable! — Rob, Feb 28 '15 at 00:36

Well, it turns out that I was not far from making it. My only problem was this line:

subjects_ids: [:id]

I shouldn't have put that ":id" plus the correct name is "subject_ids".

That's it, it works like a charm now.
