I have a relations question. I have an events table where each event is owned by a user. So...
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end
And a user...
class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :events end
But, I also have an attendance_lists table so that other users can say they are attending an event (or not attending). So...
class AttendanceList < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :users belongs_to :events end
But now, if I'm going to add the relations to the user and event models, it would seem I would have...
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user has_many :attendance_lists has_many :users, :through => :attendance_lists end class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :events has_many :attendance_lists has_many :events, :through => :attendance_lists end
My question is whether ActiveRecord will be able to differentiate, using the relations above, the events a user is in charge of and events a user is attending. In the user model, will having two has_many :events, even though one has a :through clause, confuse ActiveRecord? Am I confused and not including something I should be?
