Rails - Sep 2011 - polymorphic association

Hello,

I have a scenario where I want to save a author image and book image to
assets table...

I am using a polymorphic association.

And author_name is inside the books table.

now when I save the image the imageable_type says "Book" for both. And
off-course it''s a correct behavior, but I am just trying to figure out
is
there any way where I can save author image and  imageable_type should have
"AuthorImage" and it should call the same Book model

Solution: Other solution I am thinking to separate the Author from book and
have it in another table.

Please it will be really helpful if someone can help me out.

Thanks
abhis

I think you''re adding only book_images and no author_images at all. But
I''m nbot sure, because you''re not providing your code

Try something like this:
@asset.imageable = @author
or
AuthorImage.create attributes

I don''t know if you made the right decision with using polymorphic 
associations. You need to provide more information what your 
associations are. For example: Author has_many Images OR Author has_one 
image
And can the image belong to a book and an author as well?
