Im currently using composed_of in many places in my AR models where I don''t want to do a has_one association. The problem is, is that I would like to model instantiated immediately when it is found. For example: class Page < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :background, blahblahblah end When I call Page.find(1). I want the background object to already be instantiated with @background before I actually call page.background. Is there anyway to do this. I tried Page.find(1, :include=>"background"), but this isnt built in to Rails yet. Any ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
