Hi,

I have been trying to implemented a commenting system for my Job  
model. I pretty much got my model to work using (better\_)  
acts\_as\_nested\_set. But I am finding it difficult to display the  
comments in views. How would I recurse the comment tree and display  
the comment details for each child. I was thinking of something like  
this:

---------Controller------------  
@comments = job.comments

------------View------------  
for comment in @comments

display comment details here

 \<% --recurse-- unless comment.children.empty? %\> end

Any help?

Thanks much.
