Hi Armen I think you should look into polymorphic associations. Something along the lines of: class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true end class Post has_many :comments, :as => :attachable end class Article has_many :comments, :as => :attachable end should work.
