I''m working on a simple CMS. The main data type are "listings" a listing habtm (has_and_belongs_to_many) categories and subcategories. Subcategories belong_to categories. Subcategories are basically the same as categories, but they are treated differently in a few situations. The problem is, I can''t seem to write the view/controller/model code that allows me to

hi, there :) Consider a blogging application whereby a user is trying to add a new blog. He/she has to select a category. Upon selecting a category from a drop down box, a new sub categories drop down box will be created (hence an AJAX call). Got this implemented and it''s ok. Now, let''s assume that a given blog can have multiple categories (and subcategories). For example, a

Now, I believe this can be done by making

Hi, seem to keep running into a wall here. I can''t find any resources on site navigation that can deal with any model being in the nav, allow nesting, and can dynamically update. So I thought about it for a while, and decided on a MenuItems class, which contained the position of the child in relation to it''s siblings, where the parent and the child were polymorphic. Then a given

Hi, I have two models: category and subcategory. (one to many relationship), and a controller ''home'' I''d like to display all the categories and their sub categories in the view: home\index.rhtml.

I''m writing a simple CMS where every item ("listing") HABTM categories and subcategories (which themselves belong_to a category).

I''ve got a menu in which I have all of my categories as links. Each category also has subcategories. I want to set it up so when you mouse over the category the subcategories will pop up (to the right of the main list, but that''s just CSS). This is what I have so far: <% for category in @categories %> <a href="#"

hi guys, I am testing a new optional funtionality in my site with IE 8 after success with Firefox 3.6.3, chrome and safari.
