Trying to figure out how to get a model that has submodels (of the same class) to be able to use IR to set things up. 

model is:

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :subitems, :class_name => "Item"
end

Right now it works well for normal Items. Now I'd like to setup a controller to handle adding subitems to an item. So far I haven't been able to do this. Not sure if I should use another IR controller, the same Item IR controller but with a special action for new/create to handle when we're adding a normal item vs a subitem to an item...or maybe just a separate controller that doesn't inherit from IR. 

I've copied the controller in as I have it now--it seems @item is defined correctly but it's looking in inherited_resources/new for some reason instead of the correct items/ folder. 

Is there a group, mailing list, IRC channel or some place to ask these things that's good? Just file an issue that's really a question?



Update:

I think this solution works well. Keep it in the same controller and use this:


  def create
    @item = parent.items.build(params[:item])
    @item.item_id = params[:item_id] if params[:item_id]
    create!
  end

class SubitemsController < InheritedResources::Base
  belongs_to :item
  defaults :resource_class => Item, :instance_name => 'item'

  def new
    new! do |format|
      #render :text => @item.inspect and return
      respond_with(@item) and return
    end
  end
end

Template is missing

Missing template inherited_resources/new with {:handlers=>[:erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml, :haml], :formats=>[:html], :locale=>[:en, :en]} in view paths "/Users/jack/projects/sample_app/app/views", "/Users/jack/projects/sample_app/vendor/plugins/dynamic_form/app/views", "/Users/jack/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/devise-1.1.2/app/views", "/Users/jack/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/bundler/gems/subdomain-fu-c6fbf945cf3f/app/views"
