Hi, Why is it that polymorphic associations only work with the :has_many and :belongs_to relationships? Why can''t it be a :has_one? Matt

Why can''t it be a :has_one?The answer to this sort of question is always one of three things. Either it''s not useful, it''s not feasible, or someone hasn''t taken the time to make it work yet. In this case I think it''s the last one. Remember that Rails features almost always are developed in response to needs for real-world development - people don''t just sit around implementing features in the hopes that someday they will be useful. I hope that didn''t sound snarky. Just trying to answer your question. -- Josh Susser http://blog.hasmanythrough.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Maybe I''ll have a look at how the polymorphic stuff hangs together to see if I can get anywhere with doing it. Matt
