I have this nested loop that goes 4 levels deep to find all the image widgets and calculate their sizes. This seems really inefficient and nasty! I have thought of putting the organization_id in the widget model so I could just call something like organization.widgets.(named_scope), but I feel like that's a bad short cut. Is there a better way? Thanks
class Organization < ActiveRecord::Base
...
def get_image_widget_total
total_size = 0
self.trips.each do |t|
t.phases.each do |phase|
phase.pages.each do |page|
page.widgets.each do |widget|
if widget.widget_type == Widget::IMAGE
total_size += widget.image_file_size
end
end
end
end
end
return total_size
end
...
end
