This could be a lot simpler than I think and I'm just missing something obvious!
I'm working on a creative collaboration app whereby one user could submit a Story and this can then be forked by another user and worked on seperately. To acheive this I have a has_many association within the same Story model as such: class Story < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :forked_stories, :class_name => 'Story', :foreign_key => :parent_story_id belongs_to :parent_story end In this way if a single story is an original it's parent_story_id will be nil. Similarly, if I call @story.forked_stories I can get a collection of all the stories that have been forked from the current one, or @story.parent_story will return the story from which it has been forked. What I want is to be able to return all the forked_stories and their forked_stories for a given Story and I'm finding this very difficult since they're all based on the same model. I keep running into dead ends. If I can return them to a certain depth as well that'd be great, so I've been trying to write a method that accepts a depth parameter but the crazy loops are frying my brain. Perhaps there's something I can do with routes that would solve the problem? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
