Hello, I am new ro rails and developing an ROR application and want to have configurations for votes and comments that can be posted by a user. For example- For an item the restriction is 1 vote and 2 comments. For all items 10 votes and 10 comments in one day... But these numbers could be changed and need to be configurable. Does anybody have any neat ideas on how to implement this with ROR. I can defnitely implement it, but would like to ensure that I am not overlooking any neat tricks here.. thanks, Sandeep. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sandeep, all the restrictions you have are the business rules for your system. These will be implemented in your models. You can configure the actual values used by your business rules by storing them in the database. Write small methods that will implement various rules in the appropriate models. Then you can reuse them in the controllers and if required in the views. I found some good examples similar to your problem in Patrick Lenz''s Rails book. You can download the code from the sitepoint site. Use submissions as the password for download.

Thanks Bala. Actually I do have the book and code you are referring to. Not sure if I follow you on your pointer of business rules in this book though... Couldn''t find much there..
