Multiple categories for a product

Rails
1

I’m currently using acts_as_tree to handle my categories hierarchy.

Animals
Birds
Dogs
Themes
Farm
City

My product model currently just has a “product_id” column, with an
acts_as_tree object and belongs_to :category

If I wanted to define a product that belonged to more than one category
(ie
“Rooster” – could belong to both Bird and Farm categories
simultaneously),
what is the best way to do this?

var (bonita, farley) = new Dog;
farley.barks(“very loud”);
bonita.barks(“at strangers”);

Then you need a new model to have a relationship through :slight_smile:

something like this
category <=> categories_products <=> products

and then categories_products should continue only (category_id and
product_id)
