I've been googling this for the last day, and right now all I've got is a headache. There are several articles on this - but they are not making sense. One is using a field :association_foreign_key that I can't find in my documentation. I admit it, I'm lost.
Assume I have a Categories table. To make it simple, give it one field, a name. A category can be at the top level (no parents) A category can be subordinate to another category (it's child - and obviously, the first category is the parent. This is a self-referential many-to-many. OK, I know that I need a join table - for grins, lets call that Relationship with two fields: category_id and parent_id. This isn't carved in stone. If I need another layout - and it works - I'm happy as I can be. What models do I need, and how do I define these relationships? Can anyone help here.
