Hi, I'm new to db/web stuff so I have some basic questions. Basic question: I don't know what to add to my existing scaffolding-generated CRUD.
This project requires "Users" who own many unique "Topics". Each "Topic" will contain a "Blacklist" textfile, several "Rawtext" textfiles and several "Webtext" textfiles. Some string-parsing code will use the "Blacklist" file to process the "Rawtext" file, yielding the processed "Webtext" files. So far I have a database with tables for "Users", "Topics", "Blacklists", "Rawtexts", "Webtexts". I have used scaffolding to generate basic CRUD functionality for each. I have specified the has_many and belongs_to relationships in /app/models. The "Topic" table contains user_id:integer and searchstring:string attributes. I have manually created a "Topic" entry corresponding to an existing user_id, and modified my user/show.html.erb to display the user's topics. So, here's my goal: I want an "intuitive" flow of "create user"->"create user's topics" -> "add blacklist for topic". Right now, my "edit user" view doesn't allow adding topics (topics must be added manually, with a known user_id). Am I going in the right direction? Is there a normal/default way of editing (adding) a table entry's "children"? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
