Beginners Question - Got Monologue to Work, but I want to Customize It
pro.d...@gmail.com
First off, thank you for creating such an easy-to-install gem. Even for me, it was straight forward (and I'm a beginner).
So Monologue is mounted. I can create posts, looks good.
I don't see the controllers or views though (is this how installing gems work?)
Anyways, what I want to do from here is: add more models to Monologue
for example: for tags, I want them to have_many "chains."
And each "chain" has_many tags.
How do I do such customization? Do I have to pull your code and change it that way, or can I do it from where I'm at now?
You guys rock,
Michael Sevestre
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words.
I see two options
1: if you're changes could benefit a lot of users, why not do a pull request? I am unsure however of what you mean by "chain".
2: alternatively, you can modify any existing model by simply reopening the class and adding the code that is specific to your application.
Let me know if you need more info
Cheers

I think my modifications will be more fitting for #2.
How would I do that?
For example, I want to create:
=> :monologue_tags has_many :steps
=> :steps has_many :monologue_tags
My vocabulary isn't too strong, so I don't understand when you say:
modify any existing model (monologue_tags) => how would I access that?
reopening the class => what files/folder is that?
Should I be seeing the monologue controllers and views at this point (after gem install?)
Thanks for taking the time to mentor me through some of this
