For example I have table Questions. With fields id, text, and test_id. test_id is not being displayed in my view. I am hoping this means Rails has picked up that it is an id for another model. If so, then how do I utilize that? If not, then do I need to avoid 'id' in any field names other than the main id field? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
It'll be because fields named xxx_id are supposed to be foreign fields. You have to customise stuff to make that show up how you want... scaffold won't do it. -Nathan On 31/03/06, Arch Stanton <d6veteran@gmail.com> wrote: > For example I have table Questions.

You really should check the documentation before asking this list. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ ClassMethods.html On Friday, March 31, 2006, at 9:17 AM, Arch Stanton wrote: >unknown wrote: >> It'll be because fields named xxx_id are supposed to be foreign >> fields.
