I think I would rather store the information as a sprintf string in the same table and then grep for %s and/or add an extra column on the table that holds the type of dynamic question it is so that you can have a single method that transforms itself based on that column and then just does something like `"hello %s, how are you?" % 'Jordon'` but you can do that for complete phrases and such. This makes it so you have a single method for both dynamic and "static"... Or you could do that with I18n but I still prefer to keep those in the database and cache them into memory as I pull them out of the database. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
