I've never received a reply on this forum and don't know if I'm doing this right, but here goes??? Everyone on this forum seems to be doing well with RESTful routes and I am enjoying them tremendously. I am attempting to use this approach in a very non-standard way. So here goes the foundation of my question. In a nested RESTful route we call it something like this; parent_child_path(parent) This is easy and it assumes that we are looking at ONE parent record to scope the children.
Now, what happens if there are a group of parents built into the instance variable of the controller?; @parentscope = Parent.find([1, 2, 3]) We call the nested RESTful route like this; parent_child_path(@parentscope)
Where I'm stumped is that I'm faced with the challlenge of building this multi-scoped nested RESTful route in code and delivering it to a 'link_to' statement. I know you must be thinking, "how did she paint herself into such a corner". Currently, (thanks to Alex) I'm able to deliver this value as a field in a 'link_to' like this; <%= link_to 'Place to go', eval(table.row.routepath) %>
My guess is that I must build a method in the parent model.rb to assemble this value, but I can find no examples of how this might be done. I'm a little desperate here, and will pay money or work for slave wages in exchange for help. Thank you, Kathy KathysKode@gmail.com
