Hi, all. I'm wrestling with subclassing models in AR. Wondering if i'm running up against a limitation on sub-subclassing, or if the syntax has gone awry here.
My app has BlogPosts, which are a sub of Articles. It's got Writers < RegisteredUsers < Users. When I try to call registered_user on a BlogPost, I get nil. Any & all help appreciated. class Article < ActiveRecord::Base etc.... end class BlogPost < Article validates_presence_of :section_id, :title, :body belongs_to :registered_user end class NewsArticle < Article belongs_to :writer end require "digest/md5" class User < ActiveRecord::Base etc... end class RegisteredUser < User validates_uniqueness_of :name has_many :comments has_many :events, :class_name => "Article", :foreign_key => "user_id" has_many :blog_posts, :class_name => "Article", :foreign_key => "user_id" end class Writer < RegisteredUser has_many :news_articles, :class_name => "Article", :foreign_key => "user_id" end >> @post=BlogPost.find(:first, :conditions=>'user_id=1') => #<BlogPost id: 505, title: "Cubs outlook", type: "BlogPost", user_id: 1> >> User.find(1) => #<Writer id: 1, type: "Writer"> >> @post.registered_user => nil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
