Hey Guys.
I''m very new with rails and I''ve been building a CMS
application
backend.
All is going well, but I would like to know if this is possible?
Basically I have two models:
@page { id, name, number }
@extended_page { id, page_id, description, image }
The idea is that there are bunch of pages but NOT ALL pages have
extended_content. In the event that there is a page with extended
content then I want to be able to have a form that allows for editing
both of them.
In the controller:
@page = Page.find(params[:id])
@extended= Extended.find(:first, :conditions => ["page_id
?",@page.id])
@combined = ... #merge the two somehow
So in the view:
<%- form_for @combined do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
...
<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.text_field :description %>
<% end >
This way in the controller, there only has to be one model that will be
updated (which will update to both).
Is this possible?

First of all, you should use associations so that one Page has_many :extendeds (this is where you see that you should find a better name !). Then, you should check out this railscast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/196-nested-model-form-part-1 It explains exactly what you are trying to achieve. -- Gael Muller -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
