multiple belongs_to a single model

i came across this post by s.ross and i am having a similar problem. but mine is related to output.

<http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/ 3f3a0f4b1e8ab157/e5d055c888a155da?lnk=gst&q=multiple +belongs_to#e5d055c888a155da>

in his example his he has multiple associations

     class Bug < ActiveRecord::Base         belongs_to :reporter, :class_name=>'User', :foreign_key => 'reporter_id'         belongs_to :assignee, :class_name=>'User', :foreign_key => 'assigned_to_id'

everything works great, in console but in the app.

@bugs = Bug.find :all for errors in @bugs errors.date - no problem works fine errors.reporter.name - gets an error errors[45].reporter.name - works fine

what am i doing wrong

this works in console ie:

@bugs = Bug.find :all one_error = @bugs[45] one_error.date (good) one_error.reporter.name (good) one_error.assignee.name (good)

it has to be something simple. tia

does anyone have an idea on this.

i have check all the capitalization

variable.association.assocation_variable

i really need some pointers on this.

Can you give us a concrete version of it, rather than this abstract
version?
