I've used inheritance with many of my models. To expand upon what Fred is saying here, you really need to do two things. I'll show you an example use and then you can configure your own class to use it: One of my models is an inheritance template: class InheritanceTemplate < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true end Other models inherit from this template by doing the following: class MyPage < InheritanceTemplate set_table_name "my_pages" #pluralized table name end etc. Notice in the classes that are using the inheritance template you should also set the table name so that there's no confusion going on in the templates. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
