I'm looking to give an object (buyer) a status. What's the best way to accomplish this? At the moment, I'm struggling to comprehend my way through the following:
1) Create a status model, then let the user add statuses as they see fit. These statuses can then be applied to a buyer. The buyer table will have a status_id column. This works fine, but I have a problem when I try to refer to the the status through a buyer. buyer.status gives me the following error: Unknown column 'statuses.buyer_id' in 'where clause': SELECT * FROM `statuses` WHERE (`statuses`.buyer_id = 12) LIMIT 1 I see what it's trying to do - go into the status column and find all statuses that have the buyer_id assigned. The problem is that I don't want a status to apply to only ONE buyer, I want them to be able to apply to multiple. I'm sure I'm missing something in my routes, or just not understanding the relationship and how I need to instruct rails of this. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance for any time spent helping. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
