combined view of 2 or more models

[Vishi]

Hi 

How can I have a single form view for multiple models. For example I have a model Home and another model Office. How can I have a single /add and and a single /edit view with two sub forms for Home and Office ?

/top/add

-------------------------------------------------

| Create a new Home    | Create a new Office    | 

| homeProperty1 [____] | officeProperty1 [____] | 

| homePropertyn [____] | officePropertyn [____] | 

| [Add]                | [Add]                  | 

-------------------------------------------------

You can certainly do, but you will have to code it up yourself -- there's no scaffold for this. The scaffolds are just the bare minimum needed to make a CRUD app backed by a RESTful interface.

It's fairly simple if you're using some sort of associations to link the two -- figure out which the owner model is, and post to that "create" action, or if they're not hierarchical, you can create a custom controller which will create both models at once.

Hope that helps.

HI Matthew,
It is not hierarchical, and I was trying to create a custom controller. It is straightforward for the index view and I can respond with both homes and offices as below
          self.respond(homes : homes, offices: offices, {template: 'app/views/tops/index'});

But I am strugging to understand how I can implement the create function in the top controller which can create either a home or a office, depending on which subform is filled and clicked.

Note that in the folloing picture, user can either fill the left form to create home or the right form to create office
/top/add

-------------------------------------------------

| Create a new Home    | Create a new Office    | 

| homeProperty1 [____] | officeProperty1 [____] | 

| homePropertyn [____] | officePropertyn [____] | 

| [Add]                | [Add]                  |
