Hey, I followed Ryan Bates tutorials here about implemting checkboxes with has and belongs to many relationships.
http://railscasts.com/episodes/17-habtm-checkboxes In case you dont have time to watch it, heres a quick summary-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Products and categories have the has and belongs to many relationship between them. Then, in the products form, you can put this for creating check boxes, the ultimate goal of assigning this product with many categories-- <% for category in Category.find(:all) %> <div> <%= check_box_tag "product[category_ids][]", category.id, @product.categories.include?(category) %> <%= category.name %> </div> <% end %> --------------------------------------------------------------- Ok great, that works. the checkboxes all submit. It works great. But my question is-- How can I display what categories a certain product belongs to? Most likely using a FOR loop, but I'm not too sure how to make one that displays the categories of a product. Thanks, and feel free to ask more questions if u dont understand :) thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
