rails map.resources with has_many :through doesn't work?

Question

I\'ve got three (relevant) models, specified like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  has_many :comments
  has_many :comments_receiv         


        

Answer 1

A quick-n-dirty solution would be to add a custom method (e.g. getusercomments) to your users-controller that would return all the comments:

def getusercomments
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@comments = @user.posts.comments
end

Then add this method to your users-route:

map.resources :users, :member => { :getusercomments => :get }

Afterwards you should be able to call the following to get all comments of a user:

http://some_domain.com/users/123/getusercomments
