Rails - Dec 2006 - DRY to the rescue, displaying only portions of table

Hi everyone-

Going with DRY, I have created one table to hold all of the items my  
customer may have, but
I will need to create different input forms since some columns will  
need to show for some items
and not others.

I generated my scaffold for the admin section and it works great  
since every column in the items
table shows - now I would like to create different input forms for  
the different products.

Is it a matter of ruby script/generate scaffold <name of form input>  
Admin.

Thanks for your help in advance and patience with a newbie.

-Scott

I think you want to generate a different partial depending on the item,
and then just pass the partial name into the view that you are
rendering.

Hi Joe-

On the customer side I created this in the product model:

   def self.salable_items
     find(:all,
     :conditions => "producttype = ''Product''",
     #:conditions => "dateactive <= now()",
     :order => "title desc")
   end

   def self.magazine_items
     find(:all,
     :conditions => "producttype = ''Magazine''",
     #:conditions => "dateactive <= now()",
     :order => "title desc")
   end

Which gives me the display on the front end.  My question now is  
building the
admin side of it, which I sent as a separate question.

Thank you!

-Scott

You might want to look at STI, but it''s a bit flaky if you use
polymorphic associations down the line.
