Re: [Hobo Users] Suggestion for a clear, simple UI for editing has-many-through with extra attribute?

[Ignacio Huerta]

Hi Paul,

I think that a custom table would be the best idea from a UI
perspective. Your case reminded me of a point of sale Hobo application I
worked on.

I'm attaching a screenshot. The source code of that view is here:
https://github.com/suyccom/yousell/blob/master/app/views/sales/new.dryml

It has a ton of features but maybe you can find something interesting
there :).

Warm regards,
Ignacio

Thanks a lot for sharing your rich, clean code with me. I am sure I will learn a lot by studying it.

Best wishes -

[Ignacio Huerta]

Very welcome, the credit for that code goes mostly to
https://github.com/w0www and https://github.com/txapelgorri :)

The Dryml is very verbose isn't it. This philosophy of customising something that is very generalised has its pros and cons. I do like Dryml, but this scares me away. :)

[Ignacio Huerta]

Yes, it does tend to be a bit verbose. I dream with the day when we'll
have dryml with haml like syntax. It would be so nice!!
