Ruby on Rails

Greetings --

 

I am very new to RoR and I am reaching out for some assistance. I am creating a task management web app to practice and I'm not sure if I am running into more of a syntax issue or a design issue. The problem I am having is that I am trying to reference a task for a specific user. I have two seperate tables for both the users and the tasks, but on the task create method I also write to a third table which ties the user to the task via their own id. I have been able to keep the creation and the destory in sync, but the problem is that I'm not sure how to display the contents of the task record from the third table which ties the user to the task. Below are some specifics if anyone could help me understand this better I would greatly appreciate it.

 

I am trying to link these all together from a home controller. I can find the assigned task_id from the reference table, but I don't know how to extract the contents of the record:

 

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @mytasks = TaskOwner.where( :user_id => session[:user_id] )
  end
end

Thank you in advance,
