Body
I have ruby-on-rails app with activescaffold to build GUI based on database structure. Users have roles, each role is a set of rights. Each right is a combination of controller and action which user is permitted to perform in this controller or not. <pre><code># DATABASE! create_table :rights do |t| t.column :controller, :string, :limit => 32, :null => false t.column :action, :string, :limit => 32, :null => false end create_table :rights_roles, :id => false do |t| t.column :right_id, :integer t.column :role_id, :integer end create_table :roles do |t| t.column :name, :string, :limit => 32, :null => false end #MODELS! class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :rights class Right < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles # ROLE CONTROLLER! class RoleController < ApplicationController active_scaffold :role do |config| config.columns = Array[:name, :rights] config.columns[:rights].form_ui = :select </code></pre> I currently have following edit window for roles which is inconvenient (options are not structured. There will be much more actions, so it would be dreadful): <a href="http://postimage.org/image/4e8ukk2px/" rel="nofollow">http://postimage.org/image/4e8ukk2px/</a> I want to create a helper method like this: <pre><code>module RoleHelper def rights_form_column (record, input_name) ... end end </code></pre> This is needed to define the form which will specify input method for "rights" column. But I don't know how to write it. Desirable form would be following: <pre><code> administration action1(checkbox) action2(checkbox) configuration action1(checkbox) ... </code></pre> I know that activescaffold is old, but I have to use it... Please help!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
