Rails - Feb 2007 - after_create not creating the right object

I have 2 tables... club and forum, which use the "type" as
I''m
subclassing the Club and Forum objects. Tables are:

clubs:
id
title
type

forums:
id
club_id
title
type

I''ve put an "after_create" callback in the Club as Club
has_one Forum:

class Club < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create :create_forum
  has_one :forum

  def self.create_forum
    # create it (taken from console)
    @f = Forum.new(:title => ''Forum'', :club_id =>
self.id)
    @f.save
    @f.type = ''Forum''
    @f.save
  end
end

Now I know this is a bit "longhand", but if I do it from the console
as it is there, I end up with the right data in the table e.g. title,
club_id and type are correct.  But if I create it via Club.create, it
doesn''t put in the type at all, thus making the application fail.

Success should put a record in the clubs table and a record in the
forums table with the correct type (Club and Forum).  What I end up
with is a Club in the clubs table and a default type in the Forum
table.

Very confused.  This should be working, and isn''t!

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Paul
