I have a model called Post and a observer called PostObserver. I also have in environment.rb file the line: config.active_record.observers = :post_observer I read that observers default to the model with the same name, but the model class isn''t being observed. Observe works if I put in the ForumController: observer :post_observer But this doesn''t seem right. Jose -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
