Can I make this work with MTI?

[birarda]

I have a superclass model Region and a subclass model Domain - in the database this is implemented with multi-table inheritance using the 'active_record-acts_as' gem.

Is there a way to have the ancestry methods return me items of the two different classes? Currently I can get all items back as regions and have to promote the objects that are actually domains - this is a database hit I'd prefer to wrap into the original call.

@birarda Did you ever figure out a workable solution using Ancestry?

[kbrock]

if you have implemented this as an STI, then this will work.
If you want ancestry to return from 2 different tables, that isn't available.

I too would like to hear about your solution.
