WHen I have a model that has an HABTM relationship defined within it, and I am using the scaffolding_extension plugin, should I expect something specil to be rendered in any of the pages created? For example, if I go to edit a record that I have specified has an HABTM relationship, should something specail appear on the page (a list box, perhaps, where you can select multiple items?).
The reason I ask is because I want to check if I have defined my HABTM relationships properly. Thanks, Ralph
It depends on how you are calling the scaffold function (specifically the :habtm option). If you are using scaffold_all_models, then all the HABTM association pages should be setup, and if you go to edit a record, under "Associated Records" you should see the HABTM associated model, as well as an edit link. The edit link takes you to a page where you can update the associated records.
