awesome_nested_set

Hi,

I've been trying to setup a threaded comments system all weekend using various plugins and I'm now trying to use awesome_nested_set (http:// github.com/collectiveidea/awesome_nested_set/tree/master) which seems to be the most up-to-date nested plugin for Rails.

Unfortunately there is very little documentation around for this plugin and it's too complex for my brain.

I've got my models set up as follows (stripped down):

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :comments end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_nested_set   belongs_to :user end

Now what I want to do is get all the comments for a Post in *one* query and I then want to display the Comments as a multi-level unordered list (possibly using a helper which yields to a block?).

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
