Working on a new church site with hobo and am basically creating a CMS. It will start out simple with "Posts" and "Episodes" as my two main models. Episodes will be for podcasts and Posts will be page contents that the church staff can create.
I'm wanting to make an easy to use way for them to create a new post, and if it is a "page" post (I'll also have news posts, bulletin posts, etc.) they select it's position in the site's navigation system. They'll be able to add/remove levels of navigation as necessary. So, I'll have several base "PostCategories" and then any number of child categories. I want to integrate this in with some type of menu system that will have nice animated drop downs, etc. (I assume I'll use javascript/jquery stuff for this). Unfortunately, I just found out through experimentation that ActiveRecord doesn't like a model having has_many relationships defined with itself... :) I'm wondering if there's a good way to do this (or perhaps a better "hobo way" of doing something like this that I don't know about). I was thinking of using the 'ancestry' gem to add this functionality to my Post model, but don't know if that's the way to go either. Any suggestions out there? How do you handle menu's/navigation on your site? Thanks! Joey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
