In my model, if I have a field, that contains the id to another table,
twice
(like, primary associate and a secondary associate) I am specifying
this as
class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to: associate :foreign_key => "associatekey1"
belongs_to: associate :foreign_key => "associatekey2"
end
This doesn''t work -- but my question is how SHOULD the syntax for
specifying
this look? Thanks, Ralph

The assumption is that s/he is using the correct syntax (properly placed colons and commas). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
