I'm asking this because I don't get it. I've looked at the readme at GitHub and installed the plugin. I understand how to implement it into my model (I already had the parent_id and now I've added lft and rgt), I think I can limit my model to just the acts_as_nested_set and make it belong to product, but how to load it up? Can I do @product_attributes = ProductAttributes.find(:all, :conditions => { :product_id => @product.id } and use this collection somehow (how?) in my view? Or will I need the root element and descend from there? The documentation is just way too limited for me to understand. And how will the view part work? I need to actually have a root element including a <li> tag for a child which can have an <ul> tag -only- if it has children of its own. This way I can, later on, make certain parts of the list sortable. I hope someone can help me with this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
