I'm thinking along the lines of: libs/ .. calculations.rb
= which would run calculations for standard deviation and variation on data provided to it... libs/tasks/ .. calculations.rake desc "Calculate Ratings" task :calculate_all_ratings => :environment do calculate_rushing = RushingOffense.find(:all) calculate_rushing.ratings # need to store the results somewhere... end = which would access each model and use a calculation method RushingOffense model is part of inheritance_template.rb so the method would be located in there... class InheritanceTemplate < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true def self.ratings calculation_object = Calculations.new(statistic1, statistic2, etc.) etc.. end end = which would access the calculations.rb file which contains the method for Calculations.new Now I just need to figure out if this is a good approach, whether or not I need to tie it into another controller as far as tasking goes, and how to make it more automated... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
