If I have the following (abridged) setup:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :groups, :through => :memberships
end
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :users, :through => :memberships
end
and my memberships table has:
user_id
group_id
joined_date
Let’s say I’ve got: @group.users.each do |user| . end
How do I access their joined_date attribute? It’s gotta be easy but I
can’t
seem to figure it out. Do I need to write extra model code to pull out
a
single membership record?
Thanks,
Chad
sorry for the spaces sent html on accident

The membership model exists to serve as the meeting place for all the
info – so go directly for the memberships:
@group.memberships.each do |m|
# do stuff with m.user and m.joined_date
end

Ah… that’s perfect. I was trying to pull a list of members and get
the membership info from that as opposed to pulling memberships and
getting member info.
Thanks!
