I have a model new form, pretty much default except for a couple of overridden fields including my own. My modification is to link to a page to create a new parent (belongs_to) object associated with this class.
What I really want is this: Click the link, open a smaller window where the new data can be entered and once the data is entered (there is some processing associated with this) have the window close and have the dropdown refresh. Is there a hobo way to do this or a BETTER way to do this than what I am thinking? I looked at using PART and UPDATE but the field to be updated is within a form, on page A, but the updating would be triggered from page B. I don't think that can work. I thought of having a javascript function to open the other window and once the JS returns then an UPDATE could work, no? I am just not sure what the best way to do something like this would be. So, to summarize, <form> <field a> <field b> <field c><a action="new">Create New XXX</a> <field d> <etc> </form> ...where <field c><a action="new"> would open the create page (new.dryml) for that particular model and once the new model was created, the <field c> (which is a select) would add the new model to its list of options. Does this make sense? Should I be approaching the problem differently? Thanks for your thoughts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
