I'm hacking up a simple banner system, where i tie banners to specific categories on my site using a habtm relationship (e.g. form with a checkbox for each).
Problem is, I'd like some banners on my front/generic pages as well, without adding a front page category. Suggestions?

Can you really get away from having something like a category for this, even if you don't call it a category? You mentioned "some banners," implying that some banners won't be allowed to appear on a generic page. So, how are you planning to flag these?

I need to use the join table, yes. But preferrably not the category one, e.g. save null or perhaps a non-existing category id (0?), if I could figure out how.
