Hey All,
I'm fighting the urge to just copy/paste view template code & would like advice on a better strategy.
Consider this model:
Project name start_date status * funder * funding_mechanism * <etc.>
Where the *'d attributes are references to other models. I want to generate tables listing projects in all of these views:
1) projects/index 2) statuses/4/show 3) funders/2/show 4) funding_mechanisms/4/show
For #1, I want to show all of the columns of the projects, but for the others, I want to leave out whichever column is redundant given the thing I'm "show"ing. So for instance, say /statuses/4 is the 'active' status. I want to caption my table "Projects that are currently Active", and then show all of the project columns except for status. Likewise, for funders/2 I want a caption "Projects funded by NCI", and to show all columns except for funder.
Optimally, this would all be in a single partial that would morph depending on the context from which I called it. Is there a way to write that partial w/out making it a hell-broth of if/then statements? Or is that just a butt-kicking I've got to take?
Thanks!
