ruby on rails - How to tell ActiveRecord that a particular column belongs to a certain class and to fetch the associated class? -

i have class called conversation , column called "assigned_to" stores user.id.

i load conversations, load associated users, how can this?

my conversation class is:

class conversation < activerecord::base attr_accessible :description, :name, :assigned_to end

so need add together has_one :user, how link :assigned_to field? populating assigned_to field in controller, i'm trying show list user info , curious how this.

seems basic activerecord functionality, i'm relatively new , documentation doesn't seem have illustration column renamed.

i think should :

belongs_to :user, foreign_key: :assigned_to

if want more informations available options, can @ api
