ActiveRecord using model in another model

[quote author="xwero" date="1206547990"]Why do you put the getCategoryName in the Newscontent model? It should be in the Newscategory model where it belongs.[/quote]

At first I've done that, but after a while, I changed it. Since my content always belongs to a category, I would like it to 'automatically' fetch the categoryname.

Suppose we stick to your idea. How would you join those two together? Can you give an example because I'm stuck here ;-)
