Hi,
I've a question about the use of compound names with my models (separate models into modules).
I'm developing a big application for which my main models has a lot of other referenced models via foreign keys, to reach a 3FN database design.
I know that it's possible to use something like Blog::Post as a model name, and then put each model file into a subfolder. So I could create a module called, for example, Blog, and then put there all the submodels that are specific for the Blog module. This way I will have a better organization of my project, instead of having a lot of files at app/models. With Rails 1.2, it is necessary to add each subdir to the load_path array on the configuration file, but this is ok.
Am I able to use the same model name in different modules? I mean, to have for example two models called Post, one on a Blog module and the other on the News module. How will relationships work then? Because if I use has_many :posts on referenced models, how can Rails know that I'm referring one Post model or the other? And the same for map.resources macro on routes.rb. Is this possible, or I must use different model names?
Thanks a lot!
