Rails: Multiple "has_many through" for the two same models?

Can't wrap my head around this...

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :fantasies, :through => :fantasizings
  has_many :fantasizings, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Fantasy < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :users, :through => :fantasizings
  has_many :fantasizings, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Fantasizing < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :fantasy
end

... which works fine for my primary relationship, in that a User can have many Fantasies, and that a Fantasy can belong to many Users.

However, I need to add another relationship for liking (as in, a User "likes" a Fantasy rather than "has" it... think of Facebook and how you can "like" a wall-post, even though it doesn't "belong" to you... in fact, the Facebook example is almost exactly what I'm aiming for).

I gathered that I should make another association, but I'm kinda confused as to how I might use it, or if this is even the right approach. I started by adding the following:

class Fantasy < ActiveRecord::Base

  ...

  has_many :users, :through => :approvals
  has_many :approvals, :dependent => :destroy
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  ...

  has_many :fantasies, :through => :approvals
  has_many :approvals, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Approval < ActiveRecord::Base
开发者_开发技巧  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :fantasy
end

... but how do I create the association through Approval rather than through Fantasizing?

If someone could set me straight on this, I'd be much obliged!

Keep your first set of code, then in your User Model add:

has_many :approved_fantasies, :through => :fantasizings, :source => :fantasy, :conditions => "fantasizings.is_approved = 1"

In your Fantasizing table, add an is_approved boolean field.
