You need 2 Models obviously, with an has\_one/belongs\_to association.

Class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_one :userinfo  
end

Class Userinfo \< ActiveRecord::Base  
table\_name “userinfo”  
belongs\_to  
end

the userinfo table has to have opne column “user\_id” for this  
association to work.

then you have 5 input fields in your view:

#login\_form.rhml

\<% form\_for :user, @user, :url =\> { :action =\> “login” } do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.text\_field “name” %\>  
\<%= f.password\_field “password” %\>

\<% fields\_for :userinfo, @user.userinfo do |u| %\>  
\<% u.text\_field1 :column1 %\>  
\<% u.text\_field2 :column2 %\>  
\<% u.text\_field3 :column3 %\>  
\<% end %\>

\<% end %\>

in your controller you can then access the data fo the 2 use fields  
with params[:user] (e.g. params[:user][:name]) and the userinfo with  
params[:userinfo] in the same way. you create an new user, and an  
associated userinfo item:

#controller  
…  
#Create the user (saves automatically)  
@user = User.create params[:user]  
#Create the associated Userinfo item (saves automatically)  
@user.create\_userinfo params[:userinfo]

…

If you find typos, keep them 😉
