Hi Guys,
The answer to this is probably pretty simple but I have an app which
holds projects, and have messages for each project.
project has_many messages
message belongs to project
in my project controller i just do
@project_messages = @project.messages.collect
In my project view page you can see the messages (but they are truncated
to save space). I want to have a "more" link that takes the user to
another page which holds all the full project messages.
Do I create a page called messages.html.erb?
I would also like to be able to comment on each of the messages on the
second page!?!?
Please can someone help me as I am a really stuck!
Thank you very much!!
Dave

What did you name the method in your project controller?

If this 2nd page you want will contain only 1 message, then it is the standard show action + view... Otherwise you can add a named route and use whatever name you want for the action and view. But it can be trickier to add comments.

1. Route (config/routes.rb):
map.with_options(:controller => ''messages'') do |m|
m.messages ''/messages'', :action =>
''messages''
end
2. Action (app/controllers/messages_controller.rb):
def messages
# Retrieve messages the same way you did in the index action
end
3. View (app/views/messages/messages.html.erb) => do the same as in
index, but showing the whole message...

Woah. Firstly, why are you calling .collect on project.messages and everything? This is unnecessary. Secondly, if messages is an association for a project it would be better if you used nested routes, as explained here: http://guides.rails.info/routing_outside_in.html . Your controller would be called messages_controller and the action would be called index, not messages. ----- Ryan Bigg Freelancer http://frozenplague.net On 06/01/2009, at 6:02 AM, Dave Smith wrote:> > Sazima wrote: >> 1.

Ryan, If I understood correctly, he already has an index action that shows truncated messages. He asked for a 2nd page to show the whole content of all messages. He would probably be better off using a nested route for only 1 action (index) and retrieving the rest of the message asynchronously with AJAX on-demand, but that might be too much at once.
