Finally got time to play with this. Works great.
Now next step - I tried to extend this into a specialized edit method.
I still need the regular edit so I assume that I should not overwrite
the do_edit.
So I wrote this little piece to try it out:
def submitted
@record = beginning_of_chain.find(params[:id])
@record.status = ...
@record.approve_date = Time.now
@record.age = -1
respond_to_action(:edit)
end
Which works almost as I want it - except that the value that I have
defined in @record does not get set in the edit form.
what did I miss ?
Also - what other actions can you use in respond_to_action ?
