Hello, I get an error while retrieving records from the following model structure. Tables foods - id, food foodallergies - food_id, symptom_id, a few other columns symptoms - id, symptom Models class Food < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :foodallergies has_many :symptoms, :through => :foodallergies end class Symptom < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :foodallergies has_many :foods, :through => :foodallergies end...

I am using many-to-many using :through since I need to store additional information in the join table. I am doing this and it seems to work. I want to verify that this is the best way to do this. Tables foods - id, food foodallergies - food_id, symptom_id, a few other columns symptoms - id, symptom Models class Food < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :foodallergies has_many :symptoms, :through => :foodallergies end class Symptom < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :foodallergies has_many :foods, :through => :foodallergies end...
