Thanks to all for the advice on my previous post. I''m a little bit
further down the road now with learning about associations and have got
the skeleton of an Ajax tool in place (to add and remove items).
I''m now a little confused over this detail in the api docs:
"Any additional fields added to the join table will be placed as
attributes when pulling records out through has_and_belongs_to_many
associations"
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/
ClassMethods.html#M000436
But from what I can find, the extra fields aren''t being added to my
associated objects.
I did some searching, which threw up the suggestion that :finder_sql
needs to be used to override the default SQL which apparently *doesn''t*
add the additional fields!
Does anyone have any insight on this?
