Hi Gedeon
You can't delve into associated objects for excerpts directly - but the
excerpts object just looks at methods, not columns, so just create a method
that pulls all the association data together, and call that via excerpts
instead.
def wb_content_body
writeboards.collect(&:writeboard_contents).flatten.collect(&:body).join(' ')
end
# ...
project.excerpts.wb_content_body
Cheers
