Hey, I have a small social network app and i am creating a kind of activity stream for a user. A user can post shouts and photos (models Shout and Photo). These 2 models have a profile_id and place_id (where shout is posted or photo is uploaded). What i want to do now is get an array of these 2 models (objects) to make an xml file like this: <objects ..> <shout>...</shout> <photo>...</photo> <shout>...</shout> ... </objects> I can retreive these models by place_id or by profile_id! How can I do that? Wouter
Please can someone help me!

Shout model: belongs_to :place belongs_to :profile Photo model: belongs_to :place belongs_to :profile Place model: has_many :photos has_many :shout So what i want is getting a list of these 2 models combined. It is possible (look @ http://brightkite.com/objects.xml -> also created with ruby on rails) <objects> <photo..> <note..> <..> </objects> so what i want now is for example: http://mybuddynetwork.info/profiles/1-admin/objects.xml and i get then all the photos and shouts from that user! Same for a place (all the photos and shouts at the place). How can i do that? Thank you, Wouter

It was not clear to me. I have not used to_xml, but a glance at the docs at http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/XmlSerialization.html suggests that associated models can be included by using :include, or have you not managed to get that to work? Colin
Yes that is the question :D
i have used include but is not a good option for me.. it includes the
model (object) in the child of the xml file like this
<objects>
<otherobject>
<shout></shout>
</otherobject>
</objects>
I managed now to get an array of the shouts and photos like this
@objects = [@place.shouts, @place.photos]
and i get the objects in the xml file but the xml is like this now:
<array type="array">
-<array type="array">
--<array>
<body>..
THIS IS PHOTO
--</array>
-<array type="array">
--<array>
<body>..
SHOUT
--</array>
so i get first the shouts and then the photos and this again in an
array.. not how i wanted.. and it has to be sorted on date and not
first the photos and then the shouts..
Any idea how to solve that?

You should probably use includes or joins in your statement so that you are pulling all the data in together.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Wouter wrote:> Any idea how I can do that? How can i use that?@shouts = Shout.find(:all, :include => [:place, :profile]) @photos = Photo.find(:all, :include => [:place, :profile]) You can also use a :joins in the model if you tie it all together properly.

You can still just use one request, but you need to build your associations better. I''m not sure exactly what you have in each and every table but something you should consider here is not to over-normalize your db/tables too much. For instance, if one of those tables just contains one or two columns, does it have to be a separate table? Or, can combine it with another table? If you need to have separate foreign keys for specific areas of a table, you can look at self-referential joins. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hey if you see at my example above:
<array>
<body>Ahaaa</body>
<created_at
type="datetime">2009-08-14T15:56:40Z</created_at>
<id type="integer">71</id>
<place_id type="integer">51</place_id>
<profile_id type="integer">1</profile_id>
</array>
==> SHOUT
<array>
<caption></caption>
<created_at
type="datetime">2009-08-14T17:14:55Z</created_at>
<geo_lat type="float">50.7727</geo_lat>
<geo_long type="float">4.53766</geo_long>
<id type="integer">20</id>
<image>/Users/woutergo/Documents/workspace/myBuddyNetwork/
public/
system/photo/image/20/14njk8w.jpg</image>
<place_id type="integer">51</place_id>
<profile_id type="integer">1</profile_id>
<show_geo type="integer"
nil="true"></show_geo>
<updated_at
type="datetime">2009-08-14T17:14:55Z</updated_at>
</array>
==> PHOTO
so in these 2 objects there is a profile_id and a place_id. I only
need to have these 2 objects combined per place or per profile (sorted
by profile_id or by place_id)!
A place has photos and shouts and a profile has photos and shouts..
I am creating an android Application and for this i need to make one
request with these 2 objects combined in 1 xml file.
I hope someone can help me, really need to find this!
Thank you for your effort!

No sorry I dont need to make a view. I have this already for shouts and photos. I only need to find a way to make the corrent xml file like i posted already!
