Hi,

I have a model property with has_many.  I find the property and then I
need to find the name of the building or the neighborhood that the
property belongs to.  The property is not always assigned a building or
neighborhood.

This becomes a problem when createing permalinks with permalink_fu.

has_permalink [:neighborhood_name, :building_name, :address]

The neighborhood name and building name are defined here in property.rb

  def neighborhood_name
      neighborhood.name
  end

  def building_name
       building.name
  end

If the property does not have a neighborhood or a building, then I get
an error:
The error occurred while evaluating nil.name):
  app/models/property.rb:425:in `neighborhood_name'


I know that I'm missing something really basic in Rails.  Can someone
help me out so that it generates the permalink even if the neighborhood
or building are empty?

Thanks.
