Ian,

quick Q regarding your so far awesome plugin: I have a user model
which has many 'items', which is basically a h_m_polymorphs
association to all sorts of models (e.g. images, texts, etc)

now, every user also has related users via a relationship model and
therefore has an overall .relationships association and many :through
=> :relationships subsets thereof (e.g .friends , .colleagues, ...).

Now what I'd like to get is all polymorphic .items of all related
users of one particular user. I gave it a try all evening but somehow
it didn't work :( Did you ever give that combination a try?

Cheers and greetings from Germany,
-J

Not yet, the plugin is in its infancy though - you're more than
welcome to fork, and add some specs for the cases you;re after - then
we can see exactly where it's falling down.

Cheers,

Morning Ian,

will do over the weekend most likely, the specing out :) However, one
thing I noticed with the current version is problems with
will_paginate:

http://groups.google.com/group/will_paginate/browse_thread/thread/1ec4603a09704001

Basically I have hmp, will_paginate and had n_h_m_t installed
together, and wp's pagination worked just fine without nhmt installed,
installing it broke the .paginate method on collections :(

I hereby declare everything I've said for nullified, invalid and
lie! ;) Read: I've re-added the plugin and get no exception anymore.
Doublechecked the log of the past commit, and I only changed my apps'
readme beside removing nhmt.... so I am kinda confused.

I'll keep an eye on it and when/if I stumble upon that again, I'll
post the stacktrace up here. For the time being I crawl back into my
cave and feel bad for blaming nhmt ;)

Thanks Ian,
-J
