I am trying to implement something similar to the iTunes browser, to the browser of a simple book database. I have the following objects - Author , Genre and Book . I would like to display a list of authors and a list of genres that act to filter the main list of books.
I tried to do this in two different ways: modeling:
Author ( has many ) Genres ( has many ) Books
... with several instances of the same genre, so each author has his own name for a particular genre, I have a good drilling hierarchy displayed in my tabular views (albeit a little illogical to duplicate genres). However, when I select several authors, I finish showing the hype of the same genre, because they are, in fact, separate objects.
So, I tried to do this, more intelligently, with this relationship:
Author ( has many ) Books
Book ( has one ) Genre
Genre, (), , (), , CurrentGenre.books, Author. " " , , , . Apple :
