Hello, I have code like this def items my_items = self.items if self.added_items self.added_items.each do |ai| my_items.push(as.item) end end return my_items end the added items are a join table when you connect to other users items. Then im trying to display the complied list. but when doing this, it changes the user_id of the added item from the user that created to the current_user. not fully understanding why, or if there is a better way to handle this. any help would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
