Hi,
Say that I have two models: "Thing", and "Item"
Thing has two columns: "name", and "thing_type"
Item has three columns: "thing_id", "body", "item_type"
So, Thing has_many :items and Item belongs_to :thing
...
Is it possible to do something like this:
class ItemsController < ApplicationController
active_scaffold :item do |config|
config.columns[:item_type].form_ui = :select
# pseudo code
if config.parent_element.thing_type (meaning item.thing) ==
"Cat"
options = [:meow, :purr]
elsif config.parent_element.thing_type == "Dog"
options = [:woof, :pant]
end
config.columns[:item_type].options = {:options => options}
....
So in other words, if I go to create a new Thing record, I'd be able
to select a thing_type "Cat" or "Dog" and then it would build an item
record for the Thing-- but give me a select with options specific for
the "Cat" or "Dog" type..
Is there any way to do this with ActiveScaffold?
Thank you.
