Rails - Nov 2008 - RESTful acts_as_tree

Hello,

I was trying to use the acts_as_tree plugin and I got stuck when
trying to do it in a RESTful way. I have a Place model that can have
and belong to other places. What is the correct method of creating new
places in a RESTful way? I don''t necessarily care about have an url /
place/id/place/id. I''m mostly interested to know the correct way of
passing the parent_id in order to create the new place.

This is my create method:

# POST /places
  def create
    @parent_place = Place.find(params[:place_id])
   # or do I use @parent_place = Place.find(params[:parent_id])

    @place = @parent_place.children.build(params[:place])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @place.save
        flash[:notice] = ''Place was successfully created.''
        format.html { redirect_to(@place) }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
      end
    end
  end

# routes.rb
 map.resources :places, :has_many => :places  # is this legal?

Some guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks
