Hey gang, Pretty complicated question, but I''ll try my best. I''m building an app in which the user can enter a Show. A Show has_many items, and each Item has and belongs to many People. So, a person can appear in many items (think interviews for instance) in many shows. Easy so far, here comes my headache. In the item form, I''d like to add people, if those people aren''t in another item a couple of days around that item. So say person A is in item X tomorrow, and a user tries to add item Y with person A also for tomorrow, I''d like to show a warning for that. I''m using Railscasts'' complex form trick for this all (http://railscasts.com/episodes/75), and added an auto complete handler to find a Person based on the name entered in the field. Somehow I need to add a validation rule to check for recent shows somewhere, but for that I need a Person and an Item, meaning I can''t put it in the Person model and neither in the Item model. I''m kinda stumped here, so if anyone has an idea, please help me out! cheers, bartz -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
