How to refernece polymorphic join association

I was wondering if you could help me with a quick question on writting polymorphic join associations.

I have User has_many Favorite(polymorphic). The user has favorite Posts and Favorite Comments.

I want set up a direct association on User to Post

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :favorite_posts , :as => :favoriteable, :source => :posts end

I'm not quite sure how to describe that :favorite_posts association. Right now, I'm just using a little method to bridge the gap, but would prefer something more conventional, if possible.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Here's what I'm gathering that your models look like:

class User < AR::Base   has_many :favorites end

class Favorite < AR::Base   belongs_to :user   belongs_to :favoritable, :polymorphic => true end

class Post < AR::Base   has_many :favorites, :as => :favoritable end

In that case, you're looking for the :source_type option to has_many (on User):

has_many :favorite_posts, :through => :favorites, :source => :favoritable, :source_type => 'Post'
