copied!<p>need help resolving this issue,I am trying to use the populate method to replace Id's with a reerenced document, but when I output the returned result, the documents are not returned, instead the Id values still remain. here is my schema and detail code to clearify, thanks</p> <pre><code> var CommentSchema=new mongoose.Schema({ comment:{type:String}, accountId:{type:mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref:'Account'} }); var StatusSchema=new mongoose.Schema({ comments:[CommentSchema], accountId:{type:mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref:'Account'},//should be replaced with docement status:{type:String} }); </code></pre> <p>ACCOUNT SCHEMA</p> <pre><code> var AccountSchema=new mongoose.Schema({ email:{type:String,unique:true}, password:{type:String}, name:{ first:{type:String}, last:{type:String}, full:{type:String} }, contacts:[Contact], status:[Status] }); var Account=mongoose.model('Account',AccountSchema); var Comment=mongoose.model('Comment',CommentSchema); var Status=mongoose.model('Status', StatusSchema); </code></pre> <p>//This is how I save new Comments</p> <pre><code> app.post('/accounts/:id/status', function(req, res) { var accountId = req.params.id; models.Account.findById(accountId, function(account) { account.save(function(err){ if (err) throw err; var status=new models.Account.Status(); status.accountId=accountId; status.status=req.param('status', ''); status.save(function(err){ account.status.push(status); account.save(function(err){ if(err)console.log(err) else console.log('successful! status save...') }); }); }); }); res.send(200); }); </code></pre> <p>//QUERY -I expect this query to replace the accountId with the referenced document, but when the query runs, accountId still holds the id rather than the referenced document</p> <pre><code>var getActivity= function(accountId,callback){ Account.findOne({_id:accountId}).populate('Status.accountId').exec(function(err, items) { console.log('result is:'+items); }); } </code></pre>

Querying!

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
