I''m working on a project with a lot of joins right now. Here''s the kind of setup Project -Sequence --Shot ---Element Now elements also belong to departments. I have certain elements, however, that don''t truly belong to one shot or sequence, but the entire project (for example, art reference files). Would this be better served by a new model or maybe an acts_as_tree kind of setup? Or is there something in a ruby approach that I''m not seeing right now? -- John Athayde bobo-8WfjrGkLNeNByuSxxbvQtw@public.gmane.org Meticulous | www.meticulous.com (work) Rotoscope | www.rotoscope.com (sound: rock band) Boboroshi & Kynz | www.boboroshiandkynz.com (sound: electronic) Personal Weblog | www.boboroshi.com (play) "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor November 11, 1755 _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
