Have a look at the Rails Guide on ActiveRecord Associations and you will see that for a has_one association there will be a create_association method defined for you. So in the create action for a user, after it is successfully saved you can call create_profile to create and save a new profile. Alternatively, as Jodi has suggested, you could put this in an after_create callback. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
