Ah yes, sorry, I've galloped through and grabbed the wrong end of the stick. Here's another gallop :-) # posts model belongs_to :user belongs_to :author, :class_name => "User" and add a migration for the author_id field to be added to the posts table. Same principle of changing the class_name for the association - just putting it on the right model this time! :-D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
