It occurs to me as a missing feature that there''s no way to indicate a lookup table relationship (as opposed to other sorts of foreign key relationships) in Rails and that the scaffolding generator could recognise this lookup and render a drop-down list automagically for the lookup table.

Hey, I have been progressively learning more and more rails each day (from both a current project, reading the agile book, and this list).

I''m going to take another stab at this question (my first one received no replies): I have two models: Author has_many: books Book has_one: author I have two tables: authors id ... books id author_id ... I let the scaffolding fly and it created the CRUD goodness for each model, as expected. However, I want to have only one view/controller "set" for both models; when I

For those who cant access IRC, or just looking for a quick browser based alternative, i started an open jabber powered webchat for rails. Hopefully this will be a nice alternative for people to go to ask questions, get some help, offer some help, etc. I hope the community enjoys it, just trying to give a little back for all the hard work.

Hi, I''m looking into write scaffold generators that will, amoung other things, scaffold active record associations (eg. generate select boxes for belongs_to where you can choose a parent object) for quicker prototyping. But... My question is: Is there anyway of finding out what associations exist from examining the lodel classes themselves or indeed any other way of finding out this
