These helpers allow you to generate urls and render partials on objects without knowing what class they are ahead of time. http://www.sciwerks.com/blog/2006/05/24/polymorphic-urls/ http://www.sciwerks.com/blog/2006/05/24/polymorphic-partials/ Hopefully you will find them useful.

As part of an application I am developing, I have been delving into the dark art of Rails testing. Since the existing literature on the topic is a bit sparse, I have written up a couple of brief articles on testing strategies for rails. The first one is on the usefulness of ''Positive and Negative Controls'', and the other is a simple way to make sure you are working with

Is there any way to set a field name that is different than the method name used to populate it? My example: In Rails, I''m using acts_as_ferret on a Article model that has_many Authors.

Hi, Just get started with Rails and I''m trying to read ahead and find out whether Active Record supports auto-creation of database tables for you? Is this supported, or is the concept that you write your own database DDL to do this? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There is a dedicated section about eager loading in the docs. A coworker discovered eager loading does not work in polymorphic associations the hard way :-) so I''ve written a patch that documents it: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10610 There are at least a couple of tickets that implement something that would change that though: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9640

I haven''t been able to dig up anything
