I have a question about the usage of Merb::Controller#url. When I have nested resources, requesting the new action works differently than I expected. I was wondering what the intended usage is. For example: Say I have r.resources :articles do |article| article.resources :article_attachments end irb(main):002:0> show_routes [:articles, "/articles"] [:article_attachments, "/articles/:article_id/article_attachments"] [:article_attachment, "/articles/:article_id/article_attachments/:id"] [:edit_a...

Let''s say you''re using the restful_authentication plugin. You have a model called articles. On the index action of the articlescontroller you simply want to spec out that it''ll scope the results to the ownership of the current_user.

...ello everyone, I would like to eager load scoped records to avoid queries executed in a loop (huge performance impact). The "scoped" part is what is giving me a hard time. I''m using Rails3 RC. Does anyone have any idea how I can do it? Here is a test case : we have an "Article" and a "Comment" Activerecord models, article has many comments comment belongs to article Comment has a scope defined like this (app/models/comment.rb) : ---------------------------------------------- def recent where ["published_at >= ?", 2.days.ago] end -------...

DHH''s acts_as_taggable is now much more usable with this patch. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3866 This patch adds scoped finders, documentation, and tests: # Get tags for all articles in a blog @blog.articles.tags # Get tags for articles in a blog published in the last year @blog.articles.tags :conditions => [''published_at > ?'', 1.year.ago] # Get related tags from article tags in a blog @blog.articles.find_related_tags [''code'', '&...

Rails model association collections allow you to do nifty things like: article.comments.find(:all, :conditions => {:created_at > 1.day.ago}) Has anyone found a good way to mock this up? I''m currently doing this: @comment1 = mock_model(Comment) comments = mock(Array) comments.stub!(:find).and_return([@comment1]) @article = mock_model(Article) @artic...

In the Agile Rails book, on page 232 (PDF, 4th edition) there is an example of (within ActiveRecord) marking an article as read by a user at the present time. Short example code (from the book) here: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :articles def read_article(article) articles.push_with_attributes(article, :read_at => Time.now) end # ... end However, it seems this...

Hello, I was wondering whether there is a nice Rubyesque way of selecting from a pair of HABTM models where one of them is inherited from another object. Here is the situation: I have a ''posts'' table from which ''replies'' and ''articles'' are inherited. Articles have_and_belong_to_many categories, but neither posts nor replies do (it just does not seem to be very useful). I want to have a page which shows (paginatedly) the articles in a selected category. So given a category, I would like to return an array of all of the...
