I have 2 distinct types of users (artists and curators) in my system and

they currently share all associations (eg has_one :portfolio).

However, a curator shouldn't have a portfolio so I would like to only

add that association when required. Obviously I could just return nil

for that method, but it doesn't feel right having that there in the

first place.

What's the best way to get around this? I've looked at using eval in

after_find to call the has_one, but couldn't get it working.

Have you considered STI ?

Fred

Any thoughts?

thanks!
