Patrick,
Thanks... I checked again and the example I posted was a bit off of my
real example, which uses associations and scopes. According to the
docs:
All \scopes are available as class methods on the ActiveRecord::Base
descendent upon which the \scopes were defined. But they are also
available to has_many associations. If,
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :shirts
end
then elton.shirts.red.dry_clean_only will return all of Elton’s red,
dry clean only shirts.
So a better example would be:
b = Blog.first
b.entries.unseen
I guess in this case, the method :unseen is bound to the set returned
via the association, and not the class itself?
