Rails - Nov 2005 - Modules and models

Hello!

I have a question on using modules with models.

If I do, for example, "script/generate controller Section::Users"  
Rails creates /controllers/section/users_controller.rb which contains:

class Section::UsersController < ApplicationController
end

Then, using "script/generate model Section::User" Rails creates / 
models/section/user.rb with:

class Section::User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Now, if I try to do something like "scaffold :user" in the controller
and "set_table_name :users" in the model, browsing to "/section/ 
users/" I get the following error:

NameError in Section/users#index
uninitialized constant User

The same if I use something like "User.find(:all)" in the controller.

What''s the problem? Why can''t I use a module for models?
There''s
surely something I haven''t considered...

Thanks,
Silvano

Hello Silvano,

I may be oversimplifying things but why not just have:

script/generate model User

I think it can''t find Section::User because you are referencing it as
just
User. That''s not the same thing, those are two different classes.

If you did Section::User.find(:all) I''m guessing it would work?

I''m still a newbie, so someone correct me where I''m wrong.
