Maybe this is normal operation, but this doesn’t seem right to me.
I have models:
account
– has many listshares
– has many lists ( through listshares )
list
– has many listshares
– has many accounts ( through listshares )
listshare
–belongs to account
–belongs to list
I would have expected that if I perform the action list.destroy, then
any records in listshares with the associated list_id would be deleted
too… but they are not.
If they should be, my model is wrong somewhere. If not, I can stop
pondering, and code the listshares tidyup manually.
has_many :listshares, :dependent => :destroy
? ( You said listshare)
When I put that in the LIST model, it does remove listshare records
if a list is deleted, but now I’m confused about something else of
course!
I don’t always want to delete a list… sometimes I want to just remove
the relationship between a list and an account - in sql terms to
delete from listhshare where account_id = x and list_id = y.
I can’t work out how to do that ( apart from using sql )
Thanks in advance
