What I've done is just define a separate table. IE, EstimatedBigDecimal is stored in the estimated_big_decimals table, and classes that use it have `belongs_to :price, :class => "EstimatedBigDecimal"`. It seems wrong, but it works smoothly and allows me to define a custom view, custom input, et cetera for it. Now granted, my classes weren't quite as simple as EstimatedBigDecimal, but simple enough that a separate table certainly seemed questionable! cheers, Bryan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
