RoR newbie - file/directory browser and mysql table questions

46
Hi Guys,

I am using ruby on rails trying to develop a basic cms/dam for our company.

The work we do is post production for television commercials. Each tv commercial we do broken down into 'shots' (or edit), and each shot usually goes through multiple versions/iterations. And lastly each of these shots incorporates elements from 2d and 3d artists - each having multiple versions.

What I want to do is find a way for artists/clients to be able to browse all these assets/versions via RoR in a browser.

So far I have been unable to find a way to create a 'file/directory' browser using rails.

Also, I am unsure of what way to setup the mysql tables to handle all this.
Do I just make one massive table?

If that doesn't make any sense I can elaborate more.

Any help would be fantastic!

Cheers

Adam

No, if you do that, you'll regret it! Look at a normalisation tutorial, e.g. this one, to give you an idea on how to set up your tables.
