has many :through, accessing join model attribute (newbie)

from the rails recipes i have a has_many through "working". I can list a user and what magazines he subscribes to. but I can't seem to figure out how to get the other attributes from subscriptions. (like last_renewed_on)

reader_controller.rb

def list_reader   @readers = Reader.find(1) end

If you are using edge Rails, it makes it a lot easier to handle this kind of relationship. I would look at the DHH's Railsconf 2006 pdf presentation online. It has similar examples. Another great resource is Peepcode screencast on RESTful Rails.

Since the has_many through plugin has become part of the edge Rails, will it create any problem if I have the plugin installed and use the edge Rails at the same time?

I'll check those out. thanks
