Cheers for the tip Colin,
"Why are you not just saying event belongs_to venue (venue has_many
events)?"
I'm still learning all the various options, and that sounds very
interesting, I'd read about associations, and the reason I didn't use
them this time was because I want the ability to be able to 'tweak' the
individual values for each event ever so slightly, for example by having
a slight variation in longitude / latitude means that events shown on a
map are a cluster of pins about the venue, instead of lots of pins on
top of one another. Actually, though this could be more effectively
implemented with a method for adding random variation, in which case
your 'belongs_to - has_many' relationship would actually be very useful.
The other consideration is that I'm downloading the data using xml, I'm
unsure if the associated venue data will be downloaded when I retrieve
the data about events? Any idea how to do this? or is this completed
with
format.xml { render :xml => @events }
?
cheers,
Mike
