Repost: Pluralization of non-noun names

Rails
1

People,

I didn’t get an answer to this before so I am trying again:

I could change an existing “policy” table to “policies” with no drama
but the are a number of related tables ie:

p_2quot
p_addr
p_cc
p_cs
p_direct
p_div
p_exss
p_ll
p_mp
p_note
p_prop
p_prov
p_rent
p_rnwl
p_sdiv
p_seq
p_wrkrs
p_xaddr

Each policy may or may not have a corresponding record in one of these
other tables - if it does it could be a one-to-many or a one-to-one
relationship. Is there a way to create new nouns in RoR so that I could
create the corresponding plurals like:

p_2quots
p_addrs
p_ccs
.
.
etc

and the system would work as normal?

Thanks,

Phil.

Hey Philip, pluralization works on english words instead of variables.
Thus, I would recommend do the following:

  1. just simply rename the offending tables because it seems that some
    wouldn’t
    produce a valid pluralization to begin with. However, you maybe
    able to create
    a mapping with rails that should prevent you from changing the
    actual table names.

If someone on the list knows a solution for this rails user, please
post to the mailist.

Peace,

Arun,

Thanks for that! - the pluralizer seems to work on my non-english nouns!

Regards,

Phil.
