Hello all! I'm looking to get some help answering a design problem I'm facing. I'm definitely familiar with how models house all the business logic, but when it RoR, I'm somewhat confused :)
If I have Users, and they have a HABTM relationship to Messages: Users o ID o Name Messages o ID o Body o Public Users_Messages o User_ID o Message_ID What is the best practice to check two criteria for a kind of authorization check? The first being simply evaluating the HABTM relationship using user.messages. The second being that a user can see all messages where Public==true? Both are separate, yet I want to be able to generate one list from these two separate criteria in one call, mixing the results. Hopefully I'm clear enough, thanks in advance for any help! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
