OK, so I have this little problem with creating an xml document.
I am overiding the to_xml method inside a model that I have, and it looks like this:
CODE
class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
#database definitions, and table relationships
def to_xml
xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:indent => 2)
xml.instruct!
xml.details do
xml.tag!(:name, self.name)# where self calls the data in the column of a database (this works fine), and :name is the name of the column
xml.tag!(:street, self.street.to_xml) # this is where is gets caught up * (references a table that is foreign to the table of Model, which is another model (obviously))
end
end
end
*: this is how I was trying to do it, and for the most part it works, except it just takes the xml doc generated and makes it into a string and puts it into the node details, so when I want to parse it, it won't work.
So I guess my question is there a way to insert nodes from another model's table that is joined to the table of the model (set up using belongs_to method)?
