A way I've handled this in the past is with the permissions
system. I
have a model called CurrentSpecial, which I use to populate
a div on
the main page with whatever the current
sale/special/whatever is.
For any user (other than myself) that is allowed to login to
the Admin
and make changes, I make sure that the only permission they
have for
that model is "can change currentspecial" (so they
*don't* get the
"add" or "delete" permissions).
This essentially enforces a limit of one instance of this
model in the
db. They can go in and change whatever the current details
are for
that special, but they can't delete it, and they can't add
new ones.
Not the greatest solution in the world, but it works. Anyone
have any
better methods?
