Hi,
I have a user
model, a movie
model and this association in user.rb (I use has_many :through because there are other associations between these two models):
has_many :has_seens
has_many :movies_seen, :through => :has_seens, :source => :movie
I'm trying to get an array of the ten most recent has_seens
associations created.
For now, the only solution I found is to crawl through all the users, creating an array with every user.has_seens found, then sort the array by has_seen.created_at and only keep the last 10 items… Seems like a heavy operation.
Is there a better way?
