Hi, I'm also new to rails and I'm trying the same thing. I'm extending
the Getting Started example to learn.
I've made an extra table called `clients`: (id | name) and I already
had the table `posts`: (id | title | content | created_at | updated_at
| client_id). The index view for posts loops through all the posts I
want to show the client name. I believe the way to do this is like
this:
<% @posts.each do |post| %>
<tr>
<td><%=h post.client.name %></td>
<td><%=h post.title %></td>
[...]
I have set up all the assocations (posts belongs_to client, client
has_many posts) but it doesn't work. I'm probably making a simple
mistake but hey, I'm new :)
Thanks in advance.
