Okay, here was my issue in detail. Because I have 37 controllers/models, I needed to make it easier for me to manage them. So I performed a lot of inheritance. But, I forgot to add true associations.
Example Controller: class UniversalTemplatesController < ApplicationController # contains all functions for all 37 controllers end class RushingOffensesController < UniversalTemplatesController # contains only an authenticate routine - nothing else end etc. etc. for the next 36 controllers Example Model: class InheritanceTemplate < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true # contains all methods that other 37 models need end class RushingOffense < InheritanceTemplate # I forgot to put my associations in here # Instead I put them in the InheritanceTemplate model # thinking they would inherit - untrue # Correction is below belongs_to :team end etc. etc. for the other 36 models class Team < ActiveRecord::Base # I did have has_many :inheritance_templates # This was wrong # Correction below has_many :rushing_offenses has_many :passing_offenses etc. etc. end Now I can do: Team.all :join => [:rushing_offense, :passing_offense] etc. I can't believe I made this simple mistake. I guess it happens when you have so many models/controllers and are working on a large project. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
