...reading through the rails api...
My best guess (doing it the hard way) would be some fancy combination
of activerecord calls to:
1) create a new order_assist
2) set the order_id
3) set the item_id
is that all i'd have to do? What kind of syntax would I use inside a
lifecycle to get this to happen? would it be like what I suggest
below?
transition :add_to_order, {:not_in_order => :in_order},
:available_to => "User", do
<%= rails api calls %>
end
The more I read the more questions I have, so I'll stop here and see
what anyone might have to say!!
