Ok... quick example... client has_many :locations vendor has_many :locations so my resources is something like... map.resources :clients, :has_many => :locations map.resources :vendors, :has_many => :locations map.resources :locations Now, my new location view''s form looks like this... form_for( [ @client, @location ] ) do |f| N.B.: I have a before_filter in my Location controller that sets @client = Client.find(params[:client_id]) the problem is, what if the new location is supposed to belong to a vendor? Do I need to have a separate resource for the two different types of resources? What''s the best way to go about tackling this issue? I swear once I get this all figured out I''m gonna write up a nice little write up for google to catch :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am going to assume that you''re using a polymorphic association on location, something like: class Location < ARec::Base belongs_to :locatable, :polymorphic=>true end class Vendor (or Client) < ARec::Base has_many :locations, :as=>:locatable end The polymorphic association gives you the clue. Instead of finding a @client or a @vendor, find a @locatable locations_controller.rb ... def new @locatable = params[:vendor_id] ? Vendor.find(params[:vendor_id]) : nil @locatable ||= Client.find(params[:client_id]) if params[:client_id] @location = @locatable.locations.build end ... locations/new.html.erb form_for( [ @locatable, @location ] ) do |f| ... end On Apr 24, 10:22 am, sw0rdfish <san...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> It''s scary how little information there is on RESTful development in > Rails, yet it''s supposed to be "the way" to program. :( > > I''ve been reading all night and I can''t figure this one out. can > anyone point me to a direction that might be able to help. > > I apologize if this is un-necessary "spam" or "bumping" > > On Apr 23, 4:53 pm, sw0rdfish <san...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Ok... quick example... > > > client has_many :locations > > vendor has_many :locations > > > so my resources is something like... > > > map.resources :clients, :has_many => :locations > > map.resources :vendors, :has_many => :locations > > map.resources :locations > > > Now, my new location view''s form looks like this... > > > form_for( [ @client, @location ] ) do |f| > > > N.B.: I have a before_filter in my Location controller that sets > > @client = Client.find(params[:client_id]) > > > the problem is, what if the new location is supposed to belong to a > > vendor?

check out
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html
Disclaimer:
I too am still learning RESTful routes, which is pretty involved.
But I think you need to nest the routes as each Client and vendor will
have only one location.
like
map.resources :clients do |client|
client.resource :location
end
map.resources :vendors do |vendor|
vendor.resource :location
end
This should give you vendor and client routes like:
vendors/3/location
clients/5/location
Note that clients and vendors are plural and thus use map.resources
(plural)
and that location is singular and the receiver of the singular
''resource'' message is a vendor object, not a map.
Good reading on the subject can be found in David A Black''s "Rails
Routing", which is a bit outdated, but gives you a good fundamental
understanding of RESTful Routes. I think it is still well worth the 15
bucks as David has a wonderful gift of presenting complex material in
a manner in which mere mortals can understand.

Duh,
OK so clients and vendor have many locations (seems like they would
have one)
map.resources :clients do |client|
client.resources :locations
end
map.resources :vendors do |vendor|
vendor.resources :locations
end
This should give you vendor and client routes like:
vendors/3/location/2
clients/5/location/2
BUT... Maybe you learned the difference between singular and plural
RESTful routes.

Thanks Andy, I''ll check that out.. that may be what I''m looking for... Frank, I understand the concepts you''re outining, my issues arise when I try to redirect after adding a location for example... do I go to show a client or do I go to show a vendor? And no, they can have many locations for example if my client is Walmart, they have many locations that I want to know of... Where it breaks down for me is with the forms for and the redirects after a CRUD call, because I don''t know how to tell the app to go to show the Client or the Vendor or whatever the location object belongs to. And passing @client, @location to the form_for works, but what about the vendor form? I''d have to have some ugly if statements in my view... and what if location is associated with 10 different models... i''m hoping Andy''s advice helps.

The more I think about it, the form_for thing isn''t really an issue.... since one would be coming from the Client''s Views, and one would be coming from the Vendor''s view... Then based on the view it came from, ( IE is @vendor or @client set ) redirect back to the correct SHOW action in the correct controller...
