Hi everybody! Since there`s not much documentation for awasome_nested_set , acts_as_commentable etc , i`m trying to build the nested comments in easy way :
event.rb .. has_many :comments ..
comment.rb .. belongs_to :event ..
the following method saves the comment:
def post_comment @comment = Comment.new( "event_id" => flash[:event_id], # yes, i store it in flash "created_at" => Time.now, "comment" => params[:comment]['comment'], "commenter" => current_user.login ) if @comment.save ....
what i want to do is add "parent_id" column to comments table, add "parent_id =>..." to post_comment. Then display a 'Reply' link under each comment. The problem is i have no idea how to pass parent_id while replying comment
the comments are displayed by the partial : <ul> <div id="comment-list"> <li><%=comment.commenter.capitalize%> says: <br><%= h comment.comment %> <div style="color: #999; font-size: 8pt"> Posted <%= comment.created_at.strftime("%B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p") %><br/> <%= link_to 'Reply', "something"%> </div> </li> </div> </ul>
I added some comments with parent_id manually to comments table, now i need the way to change my partial to display all the child comment for each parent comment.
i would really appreciate any suggestions/ideas . Thanks!
