Hello, So I have an Attribute model with lists the attributes of an object. The attributes can be of different types so I have derived classes as well, in this case I have a derived SubjectiveAttribute. The problem I'm having revolves around my User model. A user is allowed to give each attribute a weighting (which tells the system how important an attribute is to a user). So, there's a Weight model and then Attribute has the associations has_many :weights and has_many :users, :through => :weights. The problem is that SubjectiveAttribute is related to the users in a different way, subjective attributes can be rated as well as weighted. So SubjectiveAttribute has the association has_many :ratings and has_many :users, :through => :ratings.
def Attribute belongs_to :attributable, :polymorphic => true has_many :weights has_many :users, :through => :weights def SubjectiveAttribute < Attribtue has_one :attribute, :as => :attributable has_many :ratings has_many :users, :through => :ratings Is this ok or are there problems which could occur that I'm no seeing? Are there going to be clashes or confusion when I do something like sub_attribute.users or attribute.users?
