Question

Say I have Project, that is in many-to-many association with Tag. I\'m using has_many through so I have separate join model.

Answer 1

I think what you want is validates_uniqueness_of:

class Taggings
  belongs_to :tags
  validates_uniqueness_of :tag_id, :scope => :project_id
end

This is what I'm using, and works well.
