I am working on a project that involves many different types of users, each with their own sets of information. I decided to condense the variety of users into a single class to deal with things like logging into the site, and use single table inheritance to account for the rest of the logic. Since the different user types require different information I made new models to store this extra information, linking them back into the relevant classes with has_many and belongs_to.
The trouble comes up when I try to load a form creating a new user and their information. I receive this error: uninitialized constant BasicUser::BaseDetail The parts of code I think might be relevant are: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #user.rb class User < ActiveRecord::Base end #basic_user.rb class BasicUser < User has_one :details, :class_name => 'BaseDetail', :foreign_key => "user_id" accepts_nested_attributes_for :details, :allow_destroy => true end #basic_detail.rb class BasicDetail < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :basic_user end #routes.rb map.resources :basic_users, :controller => 'user' map.resources :users #register.html <% form_for @user do |user| %> <% fields_for @user.details do |details| %> #some form stuff <% end %> #more form stuff <% end %> #home_controller.rb def register if !param_exists? :user @user = BasicUser.new end if param_posted? :user @user = BasicUser.new(params[:user]) if @user.save redirect_to :controller => "user" end end end ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've been working with Rails 1.2.6 up until now (I wanted to use accepts_nested_attributes_for) and so this is my first day with the new version. I have very little understanding of routes, and indeed the only reason I have them there at all is because without them I get the error "undefined method `basic_users_path' for #<ActionView::Base:0x5a51db0>." On a similar note, rails has become much slower since I updated to 2.3.5. Can this be fixed, or is it probably just my computer being worthless?
