Hello,
I am working on a voting system. I wish to have a system that allows
users to vote every X amount of time. I am using a vote model that
creates a new record every time a vote is cast. How would i add a check
to stop users form voting more than once in the X amount of time.
here is the vote model
class CreateVotes < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :votes do |t|
t.column :time, :datetime
t.column :user_id, :int
t.column :celebrity_id, :int
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :votes
end
end
thanks for your time reading this post!!!

Write a custom validation that checks the database to see if any other votes conflict with it. class Vote < ActiveRecord::Base def validate if Vote.find(:first, :conditions => [''time < ? AND user_id = ?'', 1.day.ago, user_id] errors.add_to_base ''You cannot vote more than once per day!'' end end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

ok one more question. My site uses sessions to track all of the user information. This session is saved in a value called current_user. When a vote is cast i want to record the user that cast the vote so i can check and make sure that user is not voting more than once in a day. I also wish to support guest voting. This would record the ip address of the voting user. Should i set this logic up in the model? thanks again for your time -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
