Rails - Model Doubt
Given the fact that I have models like this:
class Person
has_many :owned_groups, :class_name => "Group", :foreign_key => :owner_id
has_many :owned_group_memberships, :through => :owned_groups,
:source => :group_memberships
has_many :group_memberships, :foreign_key => "member_id"
has_many :groups, :through => :group_memberships
end
cla开发者_StackOverflowss GroupMembership
belongs_to :member, :class_name => 'Person'
belongs_to :group
end
class Group
belongs_to :owner, :class_name => "Person"
has_many :group_memberships
has_many :members, :through => :group_memberships
end
How can I access the members
a group
has? Always I do @group.members
or things like that, gives me an error saying that the relation can't be found in the model.
Thanks in advance.
##EDIT##
The error I'm getting is: Could not find the association "group_memberships" in model Group
I do a similar thing on a site I'm working on but the associations are a little different to how you're doing it but maybe it'll help. I think you need to use the has_and_belongs_to_many association to join up your many-to-many's.
In my database I have Users, Members and UsersMembers
You don't need to create a UsersMembers model (GroupMembership in your case) but you do need a database table to link the two.
#Migration
create_table :bands_users, :id => false, :force => true do |t|
t.integer :band_id, :null => false
t.integer :user_id, :null => false
end
#Models
class Band < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :members, :class_name => 'User'
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :bands
end
From this I can now call @band.members or @user.bands
You may need to specify :class_name => 'Person' in your has_many :members statement.
