Why does it seem like I''m having so much trouble with this? I created a topics table, and a replies table. In my Topic model I used the following lines of code: has_many :replies has_one :first_reply, :class_name => ''Reply'', :order => "created_on" has_one :last_reply, :class_name => ''Reply'', :order => "created_on DESC" Thought I would be good at this point to paginate like so, where the created_on value is in the replies table: @topic_pages, @topics = paginate :topics, :per_page => 10, :include => :last_reply, :order => "created_on DESC" This doesn''t display all 10 topics though, for instance if the hottest topic has more than 9 replies it will only show that one topic. Seems that my code is pulling all of the replies for each topic from the database instead of just the last one. I don''t think Active Record is taking into account my :has_one declaration, any thoughts on how to fix this? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
