Thought I''d post this in case it''s of use to anyone. Maybe even a recipe? It''s just some simple helpers to show AIM status on a webpage. I searched before coding it, and didn''t find anything similar.

Well, I''m working on adding a new type of user (organization) to my application, using a different database table than the standard User table (in the end, I think it works out being easier to deal with than creating another column in the original User table for account type). However, I''m running into a user registration problem. I can register both types of users fine,

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first.
