Hey guys,

With the upcoming merger between Rails and Merb, I have decided to
change my blog back to Rails from Merb, but still use DataMapper
instead of ActiveRecord.

Everything has worked fairly smoothly, except one thing. I have a has
many relationship between Post and Comments. When I try and do
@post.comments, I get an error...

"Cannot find the child_model Comment for Post"


What's weird is in my controller, if I have something like...

@comments = Comment.all(:post_slug => params[:id])     #params[:id] is
the title slug, which is the primary key for post

then @post.comments works.


So I think it stems from something in my model definitions, which can
be here...

http://pastie.org/365781


Now, this code worked in Merb, and let me use the @post.comments. I
think it has to do with the fact that my primary key for my Post is
the slug, and the foreign key is called post_slug in the comments. Is
there something I need to define when I say has n, :comments or
belongs_to :post? something like child_key => "post_slug" or
something?

I think its so weird that in my contoller if I search for the
@comments, and don't even reference it, its ok to say @post.comments.
I would love to know why, just for my own knowledge.

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!


(BTW to give back to the community, I will write a blog about setting
DM up with Rails and this fix included)
