Hey Guys.
I'm very new with rails and I've been building a CMS application
backend.
All is going well, but I would like to know if this is possible?
Basically I have two models:
@page { id, name, number }
@extended_page { id, page_id, description, image }
The idea is that there are bunch of pages but NOT ALL pages have
extended_content. In the event that there is a page with extended
content then I want to be able to have a form that allows for editing
both of them.
In the controller:
@page = Page.find(params[:id])
@extended= Extended.find(:first, :conditions = ["page_id =
?",@page.id])
@combined = ... #merge the two somehow
So in the view:
<%- form_for @combined do |f| %
<%= f.label :name %
<%= f.text_field :name %
...
<%= f.label :description %
<%= f.text_field :description %
<%- end
This way in the controller, there only has to be one model that will be
updated (which will update to both).
Is this possible?
