Thanks, Ram. Yep, I realized that polymorphic associations is exactly what I was talking about. In my case, all the log info is private and per-user. Also, the only action is "view", so I have a simpler case than you. I just need to generate a list like,
Today Document 452.242 Document 551.432 Yesterday Document 43.234 Chapter 452 Now, in your case, I wouldn't worry at *all* about how to generate the text. This is an issue for the presentation layer. I'd just be concerned with making sure I have all the relevant objects so that the various templates can render the output appropriately: the currently logged in user, a list of log entries, each of which has a reference to the relevant object, the method invoked, and the user who did it. I suggest checking out the "Command" design pattern. It kind of sounds like what you're doing. - Robb On Aug 12, 9:29 pm, Ram <[email protected]> wrote: >...
