I have a general question about Rails controller or instance method.
Say, I have two models, Give Take Each of these has an identical set of columns like, Give : weight:integer, day:date Take: weight:integer, day:date When @give = Give.new is created, I want to search if there is a counterpart, Take, having the same values, weight and day. So I need to define a search method somewhere. I believe it will look like @give = Give.new ... if @give.search_counter #<- returns true if the counterpart exists ... else end This must work for Take as well @take = Take.new ... if @take.search_counter #<- returns true if the counterpart exists ... else end Questions: Is it possible? I am not sure if the method works without arguments... Where do I have to define the method? application_controller.rb maybe? soichi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
