Rails - Mar 2013 - How to create an object in one model at the same time as another

Hi,
I''m using Devise and Cancan in my project.  I''m a beginner
still.  I''m
trying to create a new Profile object  each time a new user is created.
Anyone know where to do this, as  there is no new action in User
controller.

I have a user model and a Profile model

User model:
user has_one :profile

Profile model:
profile belongs_to :user

How to create an object in one model at the same time as another

use a model callback -

:after_create :create_profile

private
  def create_profile
    ...
  end

Have a look at the Rails Guide on ActiveRecord Associations and you
will see that for a has_one association there will be a
create_association method defined for you.  So in the create action
for a user, after it is successfully saved you can call create_profile
to create and save a new profile.  Alternatively, as Jodi has
suggested, you could put this in an after_create callback.

Thanks.  The after_create callback works nicely as I have no new or 
create actions in the users controller using Devise/Cancan.  Not sure 
where they but thats another weekend project!
