Hi All, I'd like to integrate a simple user-oriented messaging system into my app. I have a Message model, with :from_user_id, and :to_user_id (for the user that sent and the user that recieved the message).
Obivously, (User) has_many :messages will fetch the messages that a certain user has created, but not the ones that they have been sent. Currently, I have this: has_many :messages, :foreign_key=>:to_user_id has_many :sent_messages, :class_name=>'Message', :foreign_key=>:from_user_id So I have to get all the messages with 2 separate calls(and sets of queries). This doesn't seem quite right to me, and was wondering if there is a better way. Is it possible to retrieve all messages for a user (recieved AND sent) in 1 relationship? Many thanks for reading. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
