I'm creating a Rails app for students and high schools and I'm having some trouble with my User.rb.
I want to have a user model to be used for logging in, but having that user have many roles. The tricky part is that I want users that have a student role to have_one student page, and those that have a role of principal to have_one high_school page.
The students and also nested in the high_school so the entire thing becomes a big mess.
So my question(s): How do I limit a user to only creating one student / high school to represent them? Also how would I nest this student pages inside the highschool without screwing up the user system?
My environment: Rails3 and Ruby 1.9.2dev
Thank you!
Follow up: Would it be possible to put the name of the high_school in the subdomain? That would make the url look like
highschoolname.mysite.com/students/eric-koslow
