This is certainly a case of there being a Thousand Ways to Do It, but I'm looking for suggestions/guidance as a novice RoR coder.
Essentially, I have a calendar of events that I would like to extend with Typo functionality. The events are loaded automatically from an outside source. The functionality I would like to add is 1) Allow people to add comments, tags, categories to each individual event listing (e.g. to treat the listing like a blog article) 2) Write blog posts which draw info from specified events (e.g. to write non-event articles which include from an event) I have a well-defined Event class. If there's a way for an article to dynamically draw content from a ruby element then I can just save an article when I save an event. e.g. events_controller.rb class EventsController < ApplicationController def create @event = Event.new(params[:event]) @event.save @article = this_blog.articles.build .... ??? @article.save end I'd of course like to do this in a ruby-esque way that reuses code instead doing nasty cut-and-pastes. Let me know if I'm asking for a reinvention of the wheel.
