@Alejandro, Sounds like a very clever solution ... I think it'd be cool to wrap this up into a plugin (with its own migrations to add the needed colums) so others could use it.
@jak4 - he's adding the columns so he can record which locale each piece of content was created in. In theory, it might be enough to just check the locale of the user who created it, but this might not always be the same (an 'en' user might have created a blog post in 'es'). Then, he can just show spanish content to spanish users, english to english users, etc. Nice work! bruno On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 3:19 PM, jak4 <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don't see your point. > > Why add it to so many models.
