How will the model look like? class Joborder < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :employee, :class_name => "Employee", :foreign_key = > "request_by" belongs_to :employee, :class_name => "Employee", :foreign_key => "process_by" end Is the model above the correct way?

i think they should have different names ...... belongs_to :employee1, ..... belongs_to :employee2, ...... .... the mapping is done through the class_name and the foreign_key -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
