You need to let ActiveRecord know about the association: (You don't specify the Rails version you're using, but I'm guessing 2.x) class Review < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :reviewable, :polymorphic => true belongs_to :review_user, :class_name => 'User' # or perhaps: # belongs_to :reviewer, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'review_user_id' end class Book < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :reviews, :as => reviewable end class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :reviews, :as => :reviewable # can users be reviewed like Books, etc.? # if you mean for user.reviews to be the set of reviews # that this user wrote, then you want: has_many :reviews, :foreign_key => 'review_user_id' end Does that work for you? -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
