I see you have created a controller for your join table which seems it's ArticleTags and have a scaffold on it. I am wondering if this is the ideal way to work through the association or if there is a better way. For example if you wanted all articles with a tag that has a name of "test", then this would come from the ArticleTagsController? I could be completely off in my understanding of all this. I am new to rails and active scaffold. I am wondering if creating a controller for a join table is ok and creating a scaffold for this controller.
