Hello,

```
 I'm very new on rails, I discovered it last week so, sorry if my

```

question are stupid, I am wainting for some books on rails, read some  
documentation but can’t solve this problems.

```
I imported gem for autenticate account (signup, login, logout) but

```

I want to extend it so the user fills some important information that  
will be stored in other table rather than users, this is the table  
company, when the user creates their account, a company would be  
created.

So I modify the rhtml of the view, include some fields of the  
company table, an in the controller user in signup method

```
 def signup
                @user = User.new

```

I inserted this line  
@company = Company.new

also in def create  
@company = Company.new(params[:firm])  
@user = User.new(params[:user])  
end

The form inserts the data for user, but not for company, any idea how  
to accomplish this?

Thank you
