Backgroup: Customer has many old documents(just some scanning pictures) and want to store them into computer,we need to input the doc and relate them to the existing authors in DB.
Key works: document;author UI of document input page: left side is the document input form right side is the author search form Problem: How should i arrange the code to deal with it. I have 2 solutions, but i do not like them all! I think maybe i have some misunderstanding of restful! Solution1: let the document handles them all, put the current page under folder "views/documents", make the author search form a partial template and locate it under folder "views/documents" too, put the search_author method in DocumentsController.this really works,but it break the REST rules, how could i write the url for search_author method? I think the search_author method should be write in AuthorsController.If I do this, i can not get the search result @authors from AuthorsController. Solution2: It seem that the document belongs to the author. so i use the nested resources and add this line in route.rb map.resources :authors,:has_many=>:documents but this require that every operation on document should under a given author, the "action" attribute of document form should be like this "authors/2/documents", but I do not know the author until the client side user select one from the search result, it happens at client side. I really confused about this and hope for your suggestion! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
