errr, there was suppose to be only on table, and 3 model, one that really is the table and the other that inherit from the base one, thats why it does not save to the citysuggestions table, its not suppose to exist, you are user the same table for both models because their only difference are 2 fields. Treat city_sugestions as if it has its own table , but dont create a table for it.
I forgot to maention that the table should have a field called type so that when active record saves , it will save what type of sugestions you are saving to read a sugestion user sugestion[:type]= city_sugestion or just do City_sugestion.find(:all) i have to go to work no ill be available in 40 mintutes if you need more details On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 8:57 AM, Christian Fazzini < christian.fazz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Redhames, > > Ok my form for city_suggestions looks like: > > <% form_for @city_suggestion do |f| %> > <%= f.error_messages %> > > <p> > <%= f.label :first_name %><br /> > <%= f.text_field :first_name %> > </p> > <p> > <%= f.label :last_name %><br /> > <%= f.text_area :last_name %> > </p> > <p> > <%= f.label :email %><br /> > <%= f.text_field :email %> > </p> > <p> > <%= f.label :city_name %><br /> > <%= f.text_field :city_name %> > </p> > > <p> > <%= f.submit 'Save' %> > </p> > <% end %> > > When I submit this, it saves this into the Suggestions table.
