Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

I have an inner join query that Action Record can''t seem to pull off conventionally, so I''m trying to use :finder_sql to utilize an sql query that works beautifully in SQL. The problem is, when I try to call the method, I get the following: private method `gsub'' called for #<Array:0x267de04> Here is my has_many code: has_many :mod_privileges,

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

Hi all, Currently I''m having to do this: def self.authorized_roles(controller, action) specific = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, action) all_actions = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, ''*'') all_controllers = self.find_by_controller(''*'') role_ids = [] specific.each do |role_item| role_ids <<

I''m putting together a Rails application that will display information from an existing database. The database has a "job" table that contains a "type" column. I''ve successfully overridden the names of the table and the name of the inheritance column by adding def self.table_name() ''job'' end Job.inheritance_column

Hello, I stumble upon this error when loading a subclass of the Transaction class. For full details, see the pastie: http://pastie.org/4053678 Error message: ActiveRecord::SubclassNotFound: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: ''Transactions::DummyDdnlTransaction''. This error is raised because the column ''type'' is reserved for

This is pretty simple, but I must be missing the obvious. I''ve got a table that''s similar to this: USERS: - id int - username varchar(64) - password varchar(64) - role_id int ROLES: - id int - description varchar(16) I''ve had no troubles doing has_many relationships at all. But I want to map the user.role directly to the role model automatically (which sounds

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I want to display a different select box wether the current user is an admin or an user. So I thought I could do this in my view where my form is displayed : <p class="form-input"> <%= f.label(:role_id, ''Role:'') %> <% if (current_user.admin?) then collection_select(:user, :role_id, Role.find(:all, :order =>

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

I''m looking for a way to select a default value from a select box, like this: select("user", "role_id", Role.find_all.collect {|r| [ r.name, r.id ] }, { :default_value => ''5'' } (of course, there is no ":default_value") If the form is being used on a ''create'' page, it should display a default in the select box. If

There''s a number of calls in the Rails source to convert_to_model, which takes an activerecord object instance: convert_to_model(object) Here''s the thing. All convert_to_model does is calls to_model, which returns self (the ActiveModel instance). Am I missing something here? Why call a method that returns the same thing? @user => #<User id: 3, name:

So by default to get STI, I would have something like: create_table :items do |t| t.column "type", :string t.column "title", :string end But if I want to store those type values in a separate table, such that I have ... create_table :items do |t| t.column "item_type_id", :string t.column "title", :string

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

I''m pretty sure that there''s a better way to do this: @roles = Role.find(:all) @selected_role = Role.find(@user.role_id) Can someone help me? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''ve made a inheritance rework some weeks ago that would possible fix it since it only loads the inheritance support in the class that''ll use it. In STI case, it would load only if the class that descends directly from AR has been inherited and the column specified in the inheritance_column is available. People here told me to wait until next release so we can dig into this, but

Hi! I have a legacy table that has a column named "type" and need to remove this automatic subclassing by ActiveRecord. The api pages are vague about this, and I tried self.inheritance_column = "xtype" which seemed to get me half-way. In the validate_on_create method, the value of self.type was my model Class name. How would you disable this feature? -- Posted via

Hi guys, I have the strangest thing happening. The funny part is its doing exactly what I want to do, I just don''t understand how. Basically here is my model. class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users has_and_belongs_to_many :rights def self.names names = Array.new() for role in Role.find :all names << role.name end return

Hey, I have been looking at ActiveRecord''s serialization code, and noticed that ActiveRecord::XmlSerializer#serializable_attributes purposely excludes the STI inheritance column per ``options[:except] = Array(options[:except]) | Array(@record.class.inheritance_column).'''' Is there a particular reason for this? Would anyone be opposed to my writing a patch to have this

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause.

Hi all, I am trying to reproduce rails 3.2 behaviour with fields_for and nested attributes. class ControllerAction < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :interactions, dependent: :destroy has_many :roles, through: :interactions scope :controllers, lambda {|name| where("controller_name_id = ?", name)} scope :actions, lambda {|name| where("action_name_id =
