becomes(klass) Returns an instance of the specified klass with the attributes of the current record. This is mostly useful in relation to single-table inheritance structures where you want a subclass to appear as the superclass. This can be used along with record identification in Action Pack to allow, say, Client < Company to do something like render :partial => @client.becomes(Company) to render that instance using the companies/company partial instead of clients/client.
Note: The new instance will share a link to the same attributes as the original class. So any change to the attributes in either instance will affect the other. In your case: link_to 'Show', credential.becomes(Credential) You may also decide to have your controller specify the class instead, there is probably a clean way but I don't know it off the top of my head. - Daniel strd6.com On Sep 28, 1:13 pm, JHuizingh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a credentials_controller and Credential model.
