So I am working on this project but I am having trouble with a find statement. My code is mostly working but it falls apart when more entries are added. I am working on a submission manager. I want a table of submissions for editors of a specific genre for which they haven''t commented. When they comment I want it removed from table so that only the submissions they need to work on are showing. I tried two methods that produce the same results. One I used a find statement and another I tried a named scope. Right now I can filter out the submissions of the specific genre and then remove ones that have been commented on but soon as a second editor comments on them they show up again. Here is my code for the named scope (In the submission model) named_scope :not_commented_by, lambda { |u| { :include => :comments, :conditions => [''comments.editor_id != ? OR comments.id IS NULL'', u.id] } } (In the User Controller) @prose = Genre.find_by_name(''Prose'').submissions.not_commented_by (@user) Here is my code for the find statement (In the user controller) @prose = Genre.find_by_name(''Prose'').submissions.find(:all, :include => :comments, :conditions => [''comments.editor_id != ? OR comments.id IS NULL'', @user.id]) Can anyone explain why this would stop working when a second comment is made? Anyone have suggestions for implementing this better? Thank you for your time, Christian

Thank you for your response and patience. I apologize for the double post but I thought since I forgot the [Rails] tag that my post was rejected. named_scope :not_commented_by, lambda { |user| { :include=> :comments, :conditions => ["(submissions.id = comments.submission_id AND comments.editor_id != ?) OR comments.id IS NULL", [user.id]] } } I don''t think this represents what you were trying to say: select submissions.* from submissions left outer join comments on submissions.id = submission_id AND editor_id =1 where comments.id IS NULL; but I am not sure how to implement this statement into a find statement or named scope. I am trying to make it so it doesn''t pull comments of the page of the current editor if that editor has commented already. So in essence being a to do list of submissions. I appreciate your help though I do now at least see what the issue is. However I am still stumped on how to solve it. I was on the right track before because I was trying to narrow doing the submission to the comment but it never seemed to work for me.

I think my last post may have been confusing and after re reading it I would like to clarify. So I understand I I am pulling multiple submissions for each comment since I am including all comments. I need to somehow filter these comments for my editor before I then remove the ones which have been commented by the specific editor. I am still unclear on how to do this but I think it has to do with combining two find statements. Thanks!

After hours of trying this is my best guess, @presort = Genre.find_by_name("Prose").submissions.find(:all, :include=> :comments, :conditions => ["comments.editor_id = ? AND submissions.id comments.submission_id", @user.id]) @prose = @presort | Genre.find_by_name("Prose").submissions.find(:all, :include=> :comments, :conditions => ["comments.editor_id != ? OR comments.id IS NOT NULL", @user.id]) Anyone have a solution for this issue?

you can join you can use "detect" or "find_all" after pulling the data for first time these are array methods provided by ror On Nov 15, 3:34 pm, christian <trimp...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> After hours of trying this is my best guess, > > @presort = Genre.find_by_name("Prose").submissions.find(:all, :include=> > :comments, :conditions => ["comments.editor_id = ?

So for your example, the scope on Submission would be: named_scope :not_commented_by, lambda { |u| { :joins => "LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.submission_id = submissions.id AND comments.user_id = #{u.id}", :conditions => ''comments.id IS NULL'' } } Hope this helps! --Matt Jones
I tried using the join you suggested ":joins => "LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.submission_id = submissions.id AND comments.user_id = #{u.id}" and even tried modifying it a bit to make it work and it gives an error. Specifically Mysql::Error: Unknown column ''comments.user_id'' in ''on clause'' I will try learning more about joins but it seems the issue is using comments.user_id in the join will not work. I am not sure how to approach it if this is the case. Thanks.
