cart as a model, and that simply doesn't translate to what I'm doing. If
"A" has many "B", and I have the model files set up correctly, I want to
be able to view a full listing of the data in "A" AND also include all
of the data from "B" using the "A_id" as the parameter all on the same
page. Ultimately, I'll need a view that includes not only the "A" and
"B" data, but also "C", "D", "E" etc....each of which uses the "A_id" to
pull the data from the related tables-and the ability to show or hide
each related table data section using AJAX.
Query wise, this is trivial.. for example:
p = Person.find(:all, :include => [:friends, :parents, :children])
where Person == A, Friend == B, Parent == C, Child == D, etc..
Gets you all of the data you're talking about.
View+AJAX wise, yah.. you might want a hired tutor to help you. Would
seem though, that you might be able (depending on the volume of data),
to populate the entire document with all of the data, and simply
show/hide divs based on what your user clicks. No?
