I'm trying to create a simple category structure using acts_as_tree. I've been able to create the model, view, controller etc. but how do you create the edit page so you can identify the parent? I mean, what's the best process of adding/editing records and associating them to another category in the tree? Do I have to pass in a parent_id before I add a new record, or can I use some kind of select box, etc? Any best practices here?
I'd just add a parent category drop down menu to my category add form. If you pick nothing you make the new category a top level category. Otherwise it's a child of the selected parent.
