Rails - Jan 2008 - has_many questions

I am working on a project where I am uploading data about houses and
need pictures to accompany it. I have a model for ''housing''
and
another one for picture.
my housing class
has_many :picture

and my picture class
 belongs_to :housing

My questions are

1. I want to use one form to create a new house with a bunch of
pictures. how do I do this

2. a scaffold can generate the traversal of my housing table in my
view, but how do I display the pictures.


3. I was told to use attachment_fu, and the tutorial was great at
telling me how to upload an image, but it didn''t show how to link an
image to another model.

4. when I generate a scaffold  via "ruby script/generate scaffold
housing add_housing" why don''t the forms contain the logic to
upload
pictures with the housing data.

I have been relying on books and google searches to get me started,
but they have only discussed single models, and I haven''t found a good
resource for doing what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It doesn''t even have to be the answer, so long as it points me to
something that will explain what is going on and help me get this done.

Don''t. Create another action for that. It gets pain in the ass to
handle
image post data on edits :)

Use the docs, Luke! with attachment_fu you do @picture.public_filename.

Well...
@picture = @housing.pictures.build(params[:picture])
@picture.save

Don''t expect scaffold to be ''oh mighty God''.
It''s only for starters and
isn''t suited well for most cases in life.
