Hi there,

I have a model called Subscription which contains (and therefore links)  
a user\_id and an event\_id (both User and Event being additional models  
themselves).

When I call Subscription.find(user\_id = 1) for example, it will return a  
hash of all the records therein where user\_id is equal to 1.

How, then, do I access the full details of an event from the event ID’s  
returned?

I hope this makes sense to someone, any help is appreciated!

Cheers

Mick

Hi,

data = Subscription.find(user\_id = 1)  
p data.attributes # I think this will display every attribute  
connected to that object.

puts “Subscribers lastname: #{data.lastname}”

Not even 50% sure it´ll work, but give it a try! 🙂
