Additional Information

Ok first I would like to bring up TreeBuilder which I know you do not want to have any complex custom logic, but I assure you that I only built it so that creating the Tree data structure could be more accessible. It generates the tree field ids and makes nesting easier.

for example Below I create a two top level head nodes for the topic "Gaming Setup":

tree = TreeBuilder.new
tree.add_value('Desktop PC')
tree.add_value('Gaming Console')
tree.find_node('Gaming Console').add_value('MS')
tree.find_node('Gaming Console').add_value('Nintendo')
tree.find_node('Gaming Console').add_value('Playstation')
tree.find_node('Gaming Console').find_node('Playstation').add_value('PS3')
tree.find_node('Gaming Console').find_node('Playstation').add_value('PS4')

tree.tree_data

Besides the rake seeding task there TreeBuilder is never used again.

Also I added some example code with the function TreeBranchClicked for branch selections.

Note: There seems to be an elusive bug where the data for Categories seems to disappear during validations, which is why I removed them in this repo
