Good Afternoon. I am creating a time tracking application as learning exercise. Each Project has_many Worktracks, each Worktrack has_many tasks, each Proect has_many tasks through Worktracks.
Everything is great - model works, views work, controller functions. Problem is, how can I have a single view incorporating Projects, Worktracks and Tasks, allowing for creating Worktracks within Projects (for example) - in one view. I can do this in irb using '<<', but trying to translate this into Rails is proving problematic. Searching this forum, I found a Pragmatic book chapter, but the solution was complex and blew up my app - undoubtedly, I erred somewhere trying to implement it, but I cannot determine where, and at this point, my learning curve is flatlined. Any suggestions for general approach would be welcomed - my ideal solution would be to be able to mix @project, @worktrack and @task all in the same structure. As a side-issue, but related, I have a valid_values table that I am trying to use to populate drop-down menus within tasks, etc - but again, I can only populate via direct coding in the view, rather than passing in an array from database query. I know it can be done, but the 'how' is defeating me. I suspect the solution is simple, but non- obvious to me. Many thanks in advance for suggestions, and I will accept flames in good cheer if accompanied by workable suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
