Hi all,
I don’t know a better title for my question, sorry about that.
The problem I’m having is that I’ve got no clue how to do this:
Table issues:
Column created_by
Column closed_by
Both of those columns will hold User#id’s. For what I’ve read and
understood in the API, you can do:
Class Issue < AR::B
belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => :user
belongs_to :closed_by, :class_name => :user
end
But then, in my parent class:
Class User < AR::B
has_many :? # Issues trough created_by
has_many :? # Issues trough updated_by
end
I’ve stopped here because I feel I’m not going in the right
direction…
has_many :created_issues, :class_name => “Issue”, :foreign_key =>
“created_by”
has_many :closed_issues, :class_name => “Issue”, :foreign_key =>
“closed_by”

When you say, it sounds so easy…
Thanks a lot, again! =)
Ok,
Here are the associations:
Class Issue < AR::B
belongs_to :creator, :class_name => :user, :foreign_key
=> :created_by
belongs_to :solver, :class_name => :user, :foreign_key => :closed_by
belongs_to :owner, :class_name => :user, :foreign_key
=> :assigned_to
end
Class User < AR::B
has_many :created_issues, :class_name => :issue, :foreign_key
=> :created_by
has_many :closed_issues, :class_name => :issue, :foreign_key
=> :closed_by
has_many :assigned_issues, :class_name => :issue, :foreign_key
=> :assigned_to
end
If I do:
@issues = Issue.find(:all, :include => :owner )
I get error:
can’t convert Symbol into String

Fixed.
Instead of using symbols for :class_name => I used strings.
So :class_name => :user became :class_name => ‘User’.
