Sorry, no, I'm looking for questions and examples to each belong_to one tutorial, and a given tutorial has_many examples and has_many questions. What I'm really looking for is a way to refer to questions and examples together in certain situations.
I'm wondering if I can do something like this (crazy fantasy code): class Tutorial < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions, :as => :sections has_many :examples, :as => :sections end That way, questions and examples could be represented as different sections of a tutorial. Then, when I want to display a table of contents for a tutorial, I could write: <% for section in @sections do %> <%= section.title %> <% end %> And get: (an example title) (a question title) (an example title) (an example title) (a question title) (a question title) (an example title) ... In the order they appear. I'd also need a "position" attribute on the sections for each tutorial, also, to make sure they appear in the right order. Does that make sense? I think single table inheritance might do this, but I'm planning on using examples and questions for a bunch of other things, so I don't think it would work that well. I'm thinking about defining a whole new "section" model, and using that, but I don't know yet. Thanks!
