Hello there,
I am having a problem inheriting an already inherited class. errr..
sounds more complicated than it is.. look:
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
# has a name and description field
end
class Reference < Item
# has a something field
end
class UrlReference < Reference
#has an url field
end
.... now If I do make a u = UrlReference.new in the console for
example, the 'u' instance does NOT have the url field.. only the ones
from Reference and Item...
How come? I guess that's basic ruby.. but how do I properly inherit
from other classes which again inherit from other ones? Did I miss
something here?
Cheers & thanks,
-Joerg
