Hello. I want to be able to set what''s in an association without Rails trying to update the database. Assume a Page has many Links. I want to be able to say this... page = Page.find :first links = Links.find :all, :conditions => ["page_id != ?", page.id] page.links = links Without Rails trying to update the database and trying to set page_id on all the records in links. I wish it was as simple as saying... page.instance_variable_set(''@links'', links) but it''s not because links is an association proxy object. Any ideas? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
