ACL fields going through a few relations

[jamesarthur]

Hi

At present, ACL fields can either be attached to the current table, or go through 1 relation (e.g. "acl_id" or "addressbook.acl_id"). Is there any way to go through more than one relation? If not and I rewrote ActiveRecord::_getAclJoinProps to allow it, would you consider including the changes in the trunk? (I've thought about mimicking the sql that grouoffice uses to check ACL but I'd much rather not do that.)

Thanks

That's not possible at the moment. Adding that code could potentially introduce a lot of bugs so I'm not willing right now...

I solved this problem for now by joining to a view with the acl_id field pre-joined.
