:through and STI

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m trying to use :through and STI using the trunk version of Rails, but
I get the following error see bottom of this msg[1]

here are my classes.

class Player < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class Ladder < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :subscriptions
has_many :players, :through => :subscriptions
end

class SingleLadder < Ladder
end

class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :players
belongs_to :ladders
end

Any ideas??

`const_missing’: uninitialized constant Players

Your belongs_to associations should be singular:

class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :player
belongs_to :ladder
end

Whoops! Well spotted - looking at your URL it seems you’re the man to
ask :wink:

Thanks,
