Hi there,
I'm working on a little portfolio-site to get to know rails a little
better. On this site I have a blog, a gallery (my portfolio) and
other stuff for which each I created a model. On the start-page I
want to show a bit of everything - some of the recent blog-entries,
some pictures from the gallery and so on. Now I was wondering -
what's the rails way to do this? Would you just create a controller
and a view and load the data from multiple models (blog,
gallery, ...) in the controller? Or would you create a new model
that just has_many of the other models? Are there other, better
ways? How would you accomplish this in rails?
Thanks in advance,
Luke
I usually make a home_controller, map my :root to one of its methods,
and load up whatever models I need inside that method. I generally use
that same controller for site-wide things like search results or
contact us or about this site.
