Uh. That whole paragraph is such a mish-mash that it leads to me
believe that you don't have a clear picture of the MVC pattern that
Rails embodies.
Foe one thing, classes ("models") derived from ActiveRecord are
just that, models, *not* controllers. Controllers do not "map to tables".
You might want to, as Colin suggested, run through a tutorial before
going any further.
Then decide if it makes sense to combine your data import function
with the Rails *data display* function.
I get the MVC pattern now, but I did not when I wrote the stand alone scripts (I started by reacquainting myself with ruby and writing the batch processing). Basally I was trying to get my head around how, if at all, its best to do data loading and manipulation in rails. It seems very geared towards data input in forms. Ime sure there is a good way of doing it, just wondering if there is some guides about how to do it. Ime also thinking from a OO perspective there should be a VenueWebsite object so rather than collecting and manipulating the events in the Venue object it should be a separate class.
Anyway learning ruby and rails is enough for now. As the scripts work well so I've decided to park looking at moving them into rails until I know it better.
Thanks for everyone's help.
