similar to: how to has_many User::Role?

I''m stymied at how to create a fixture that establishes a has_many :through relationship. I''ve watched the railscast at: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/081_fixtures_in_rails_2.mov ... but that''s for HABTM relationships. I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:

Hi, I have 2 models: User and Article. I have this relationship: * User has many articles (and Article belongs to user) * User has and belongs to many articles (and Article habtm users) But this is tricky because of: current_user.articles ...this can return articles thanks to *has_many* and *has_and_belongs_to* relations.

I have two models Club and users. users are regular authenticated users and some of them might create a club. A club can also have members (essentially users) and there are attributes and models that apply to member but not to users. Here is what I have right now.
