Hi,
I have a has and belongs to many relation between User and Article models, and I would like to link them even if an article if not hosted on the same database then a user.
For example, If an article exists at foo.com/articles/3 and a user exists at bar.com/users/1, If would like to be able to do from foo.com web interface or bar.com web interface this kind of query: a_user.articles (or an_article.users).
I think this can be possible adding a field like "url" in users and articles tables. But I don't know how to process for ActiveRecord. My Article model looks like this:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
end
Is there yet some example of project using this kind of relation over internet?
Many thanks
