Hello; I''m at this point essentially a Rails hobbiest: entranced, enthralled, immersed but not writing Rails apps commercially. I am sure my question has been asked and answered but I searched and couldn''t find it, so.... Is there somewhere a list of methods that become available via associations? I was doing a project with acts_as_tree and was struggling with a breadcrumb navigation. Trying to do some nonsense with a recursive function climbing up the tree via "parent". I finally stumbled across "ancestors" and it was a snap. But I didn''t know about "ancestors". Is there a resource somewhere that spells out what you "get for free" from the common associations such as has_many and acts_as_tree and has_and_belongs_to_many? Thanks a million. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
