Is there any method defined that lists all the uploads of a post or tell us which post upload belongs to? I see there are relations defined in Post model

> has\_many :post\_uploads  
> has\_many :uploads, through: :post\_uploads

But it is hardly used. If I upload an image to a post, it updates the “raw” field in Post to determine the uploads. There is no direct relationship. Why PostUpload is not used?

With any instance of `Post`, you can do `post.uploads` to fetch all the `Upload`s that belong to a post.

`PostUpload` is being used in `through: :post_uploads`. I think there might be some confusion here. Perhaps you can provide me with more context?

@tgxworld

I pulled the latest code from master, created a new topic and uploaded an image. Now in rails console

> Post.last.uploads # =\>   
> PostUpload.count # =\> 0  
> Upload.last #=\> contains the uploaded image  
> Post.last.raw #=\> contains a link to uploaded image

Ah thanks, I think I found the problem. `keep_reverse_index_up_to_date` uses `a/@href` value to determine upload. I’m currently using a plugin for private attachments, that doesn’t store absolute url of attachments in `a/@href`. I may need to overwrite `keep_reverse_index_up_to_date`. Thanks anyways 🙂
