It is not entirely clear what the questions are. I find it best to think about the problem in terms of models and relationships. It seems that you have models Feature, Event and EventFeature, where Event has_many :event_features and also has_many :features, :through => :event_features Then if you have an event then its features are event.features. So can you confirm that is correct (or not) and ask the question again? Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
