TreeSelect
==========

This plugin adds a few new methods to form-option helpers;


options_from_tree_collection_for_select(collection, value_method, text_method, selected = nil)

This method works like the options_from_collection_for_select, however, it recurses through the childelements, indenting them with characters on the left;

level 1
----- level 1 1
----- level 1 2


tree_select(method, collection, value_method, text_method, options = {}, html_options = {})

This method allows you to put a tree_select tag in your forms.


Example
=======

Create an acts_as_tree model, e.g;

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_tree
end

Create another class that should link somewhere to the tree, e.g.;

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_presence_of :category_id, :name
end

Change your form;

<% form_for(@item) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>

  <p>
    <%= f.label :category_id %><br />
    <%= f.tree_select :category_id, Category.roots, :id, :name, :include_blank => true %>
  </p>
...
<% end %>
