Dear Hobo wizards,

Yes, it's me again with another doubt :), this time related to association
classes.

Let's pretend that we have the following models and relationships:
A blog Post has a many_to_many association with Topics  through PostTopic.
Now, PostTopic has an additional field "relevance", a 1-10 value that
represents how relevant the Post is for the associated Topic.

Example:

Post A -> Politics (relevance: 8)
               Economy (relevance: 5)
               International Relations (relevance: 2)

Post B -> Economy (relevance: 10)
               Politics (relevance: 3)

Hence, relevance is a field of the association class and not of any of the
other two.

I would like the user to be able to set the value to relevance while editing
a Post, if possible.
I have noticed that the default form for Post does not provide this feature.


What would be the Hobo recommended way to do this?

The models look like:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  hobo_model
  ...
  has_many :topics, :through => :post_topics
  has_many :post_topics
  ...
end

class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
  hobo_model
  ...
  has_many :posts, :through => post_topics
  has_many :post_topics
  ...
end

class PostTopic < ActiveRecord::Base
  hobo_model
  fields do
        relevance :integer
        timestamps
  end
  belongs_to :post
  belongs_to :topic
  ...
end
