thats all nice and well but my problem basically is how to put the data in the content table(with forms initially intended for the "owner" tables)
the function i mentioned in the link is the function that deals with that problem. the only problem is that i don't have the "right" place to put it. the best place i could think of is in a class that inherits ActiveRecord and that all the models inherit it. is there a better place?
