I'm sure there's more than one way, but here's a suggestion.
You have a User now
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# whatever
end
Create a
class AssociatedUser < User
establish_connection :associated_site
end
Define associated_site in your database.yml
Then you can simply "clone" your user
a_user = AssociatedUser.new
a_user.attributes= user.attributes
a_user.save
And done :-)
Caveat: if this is an existing user (already saved in the first app) then
you probably want to replace the above with something like
a_user.attributes= user.attributes.except("id")
to avoid clobbering someone else's account.
Serving suggestion, write lots of tests before implementing :-)
