Haha! The beard bit made me laugh :)
Well, in my model articles dont have a user association. They just
have comments and users can post comments to different articles
So basically article and user have a many to many relationship with
the comments being the join table (it contains both article_id and
user_id). The comments table also has an additional attribute, the
actual comment.
I guess the
has_many :articles, :through => :comments
reads funny. It could just as well been
has_many :articles, :through => :user_article
So, given this, when a new comment is being created, I would like to
be able to use a path like
user_article_comment_path([...@user, @article])
What should I put in my routes file to get this?
I can do this
map.resources :users do |user|
user.resources :articles do |article|
article.resources :comments
end
end
but this gives me unnecessary paths like
user_article_path
which I dont want. I hope this makes sense.
