Linking Models

rubyonrails-talk

Hi...

I'm just starting with Rails 3.0.0.rc and am trying to get my models to link as I did in previous rails releases...

I.e...

I used to be able to tell the model: belongs_to :districts

then in the controller: def index   @districts = District.find(:all)   @provers = Prover.find(:all) ... end

then in the view have a line like: <% @provers.each do |prover| %>   <%= prover.district.name %> ....

I'm expecting this to join the provers and districts tables so I can return the district name instead of it's foreign key id...!

At any rate, in rails 3 this no longer works...

When asking for help, never just say "it doesn't work". Always explain how the actual behavior differs from the expected behavior. Include error messages if any. Otherwise, it's unlikely that anyone will be able to help you.

Best,
