...eam! Just having a bit of trouble with the many-to-many relationship of the same type. Im trying to build a buddy list. So I have a users table and want to allow each user to have a buddlist of users. Ive tried having a User model and a Buddy model where the buddy model has 2 fields user_id and a buddy_id but i cant get the buddy.name methods to resolve when getting a list of buddies.
