Association question

Hi,

I have a photos model that has_many comments. When the photo is saved,
it builds the comments into a string that is indexed.

When the comments are saved, it needs to re-index the comments from the
photo model. The way I do it is by calling self.photo.save on the
after_save method of the comments model.

This seems botchy, is there a better way?

class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base

has_many :comments

acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :photo_comments], :remote => true

def photo_comments
comments.collect{|c| c.comment}.join(’ ')
end
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :account, :counter_cache => true
belongs_to :photo, :counter_cache => true

validates_presence_of :comment

def after_save
self.photo.save
end

end

Thanks,

Tim
