How do I override rails naming conventions?
I'm no RoR expert, but did find a possible approach. From the referenced site you can add inflection rule inside the config/initializers/inflections.rb file:
# Add new inflection rules using the following format ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.irregular 'clothing', 'clothes'end
For rails 2.3.2 and maybe 2+, you need to do it a little different:
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en' inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1' inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi' inflect.uncountable "equipment"end
Add this in your environment.rb file if you are trying to stop database pluralization
ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false
