I use the Clearance gem to add authentification to my website. The standard User model looks like this: <pre><code>class User < ActiveRecord::Base include Clearance::User end </code></pre> Now i want to add more properties to the User Model. I created this migration: <pre><code>class AddCustomernameToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration def change add_column :users, :customername, :string end end </code></pre> After rake db:migrate, the database now has one more column for :customername as next step I edited the User Model file so it looks like this: <pre><code>class User < ActiveRecord::Base include Clearance::User attr_accessor :customername end </code></pre> As the next step, I signed up a new user and used sqlite database browser to add the test string 'charly' in the customer name field for this user. In my controller, i now want to create a user object and print it out to see if all the data is present. <pre><code>thisUser = User.find(current_user.id) puts thisUser.inspect </code></pre> the console output is: <pre><code>#<User id: 1, email: "test@test.de", encrypted_password: "0494a9b3b692acaea96ab57bed500adf26dbafa5", salt: "75c889d099438476204ce46b9cb406fb1f73423c", confirmation_token: nil, remember_token: "907b9bd600246d0b8dcc06a782457665f614b368", created_at: "2012-03-21 20:59:44", updated_at: "2012-03-21 21:12:59", customername: nil> </code></pre> so customername is nil. somehow the data for this field is not pulled out of the database correctly. what am i doing wrong? Sorry, I'm a rails beginner. Might be a very simple thing to do, but I tried hard and googled all day and couldn't get it to work, so I turn to the wisdom of stack overflow. Thanks guys.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
