FYI, I figured this out. I shouldn''t have been using capital letters
in my classes. But now, I''ve run into a different problem.
These two classes:
class UserProfile < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :UserGroup
end
class UserGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :UserProfiles
end
become:
class UserProfile < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :usergroup
end
class UserGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :userprofiles
end
I''m not getting the error below when I make this call:
<% for user_profile in @user_profiles %>
...
<td><%=h user_profile.usergroup.Name %></td>
...
========Error=====uninitialized constant UserProfile::Usergroup
Thoughts?

Here''s another tip to preserve sanity: Follow the dictionary when deciding whether a name is one word or multiple words. This rule tells you to call the class ''UserGroup'' and the table ''user_groups'' instead of ''Usergroup'' and ''usergroups''. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
