  1. POHow do I use has_many :through and in_place_edit?
    text
    copied!<p>I have two Models: Campaign and Contact.</p> <p>A Campaign has_many Contacts.</p> <p>A Contact has_many Campaigns.</p> <p>Currently, each Contact has a contact.date_entered attribute. A Campaign uses that date as the ate to count down to the different Events that belong_to the Campaign.</p> <p>However, there are situations where a Campaign for a specific Contact may need to be delayed by X number of days. In this instance, the campaigncontact.delaydays = 10.</p> <p>In some cases, the Campaign must be stopped altogether for the specific Contact, so for now I set campaigncontact.delaydays = 1. (Are there major problems with that?)</p> <p>By default, I am assuming that no campaigncontact exists (but not sure how that works?)</p> <p>So here's what I've tried to do:</p> <pre><code>class Contact &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :campaigncontacts has_many :campaigns, :through =&gt; :campaigncontacts end class Campaign &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :campaigncontacts has_many :contacts, :through =&gt; :campaigncontacts end script/generate model campaigncontact campaign_id:integer contact_id:integer delaydays:integer class Campaigncontact &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :campaign belongs_to :contact end </code></pre> <p>So, here's the question: Is the above correct? If so, how do I allow a user to edit the delay of a campaign for a specific Contact.</p> <p>For now, I want to do so from the Contact View.</p> <p>This is what I tried:</p> <p>In the Contact controller (?)</p> <pre><code> in_place_edit_for :campaigncontact, column.delaydays </code></pre> <p>And in the View</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= in_place_editor_field :campaigncontact, :delaydays %&gt; </code></pre> <p>How can I get it right?</p>
