I have found a few posts on various sites that this was something that was going to be available. The posts were all over a year ago, but it doesn''t seem like it is available in 1.2 unless I am missing something (which I hope is true) I have a member and office table that each have an address. Any advice on the best way to do this. I have also seen a few posts saying to use delegates, but without much info on how to do so and I can''t find any info on delegates in the docs. Any advice on the best way to make these relationships is appreciated.

if I take the long approach of creating a get and set method, is there
a short way to make the association between the address and member
table without having to create a model out of the associative table?
class member
...
#properties
def address
if @address.nil?
@address = Address.find_by_member_id(self.id) unless
@address.nil?
@address
end
def address=(value)
@address = value
end
#methods
def after_insert
@address.save
#connect the tables here
end
...
end

or there is this way, but now I have a address collection within the
model. It is rather difficult to believe that Rails would not have a
better way of making associations of this sort.
class Member
has_and_belongs_to_many :addresses, :join_table
=> :members_addresses
#properties
def address
return self.addresses[0] unless self.addresses.nil?
nil
end
def address=(value)
self.addresses = [] if self.addresses.nil?
self.addresses << value
end
end

the guy who wrote the second article reference, Ryan Heneise, is working on a patch for Rails to add the has_one :through.

In my case I have an address table that is linked to a few tables within the database. It turns out that in my case polymorphic association is probably the best bet anyway. Thanks for letting me know though, I am sure the plugin will come in handy someday.
