model inheritance

Hi all,

When I have class User :has_many :events end

class Event :belongs_to :user end

class Game < Event end

Why Can't I do: user = User.find(1) user.games.build(params[:game])

I need to add to class Game < Event :belongs_to :user end and class User :has_many :events :has_many :users end

then user = User.find(1) user.games.build(params[:game]) will work.

Since Event already belongs_to user shoiuld game than also since it inherites?

Regards, Stijn

I assume you meant to write has_many :games :slight_smile:

You can't do user.games.build without this since there is no games
association, only an events association. You shouldn't need the extra
belongs_to :user (which as you say should just be inherited from Event)
