Hey, on my site, I've got an internal messaging system. A message can be saved, sender and recipient are saved as properties. Then, also one status number is saved, which indicates whether the message is sent/ read/deleted either on the sender side or on the recipient side. As I relaunch the system, the question came to my mind, if I should it model another way. For example, I could associate the User and Message model over a intermediate model, where for example, I could save some more data, which refers directly to the relation. A message could then also have multiple recipient, for example, if I model the intermediate table 1:m.
There are many ways to do this, I think. I just wanted to ask, how do you model this and why in this specific way? Thank you very much, ms --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
