Hi!
I'm new to Ruby and Rails and I'm trying it out with an app that
displays artists and their songs. The songs are nested inside the
artists.
Each song has a "published" and a "approved" attribute that is set to
true if the song has been approved and published.
I also have an admin area, mysite.com/admin/....
On the frontend I only want to show published and approved items and
in the admin area I want to show all songs.
I have created a scope in my model like this:
scope :frontend_songs, where(:approved => true, :published => true)
Which I want to apply on the frontend only. In my songs controller I
added a before_filter :front_songs
and
...
private
def front_songs
@songs = @songs.frontend_songs
end
This works good on pages that are not nested inside the artists (like
"latest songs")
So I have to do something similar for my Artist controller as well.
Is there a better way to do this so I only have to specify once that
songs that has published => false should not be served, regardless if
it comes through the artists or songs controller? Like a global scope
that always applies except in the admin area.
I have read somewhere about global scopes I think (??) but that you
should avoid them. Also, it would break my admin area as well.
So, any ideas?
