(And it seems to work fine w/o block_given? -- I can't find any ActiveRecord instance methods that take a block, so this might be overkill anyway.)
Basically, I wanted to add something like belongs_to :part, :through => :lot to my Component model, which I was happy to see I could do with 3 lines of code. I just picked 3 lines of code that were more complicated than they needed to be. > Yup. Of course, you could have done that even without the :through. > I want to relationship to go both ways, and as far as I can tell, there is no belongs_to :through => construct similar to the has_many :through => construct. But it is easy enough to implement with the single method definition. Thanks again for the help and the tips. I appreciate them both. --wpd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
