When you nest REST resources,
ex:
map.resources :articles do |article|
article.resources :comments
end
the scaffold_resource generated code has to be manually edited to add
the parent id in about 15 locations accross 5 files of the child (the 4
views and the controller).
Most of the time, you must just replace
comment_path(comment)
by
comment_path(@article, comment)
, but
-
in new.rhtml you need to add a hidden field, and
<%= f.hidden_field :article_id , :value => @article.id%> -
in the controller you also have to add a filter to fetch the parent
before_filter :load_article
def load_article
@article= Article.find params[:article_id]
end
Question: Am I doing something wrong/is there a simpler way?
(note: I noticed that some xxx_path() can be left untouched, but as my
next step will be to try using REST with polymorphic association, I
tried to be consistent and I fixed them all).
