Thanks for the link.. I am going through the guide. However, I am still wondering how can I include associations (has_many and belongs_to methods) in my plugin. Because I do not know what will be the model/table name used by user to associate my plugin's model to..
e.g.: for one application it could be user- :has_many photos or for another application- user :has_many songs . Thanks, Amita.
