search for: authorships

Good evening list members, I have the following model: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :authorships has_many :books, :through => : authorships end Should I be able to do the following? Author.find(:first).book_ids = [1,2,3] I ask, because it doesn''t. The docs state that it should, but it doesn''t specialise in the case of a :through This works fine BTW: Author...

Greetings again: I''m simplifying the case I presented earlier regarding the use of has_many :through. I''m using DHH''s example from "Persuing Beauty with Ruby On Rails". Here are his models: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :authorships has_many :books, :through => :authorships end class Book < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :authorships has_many :authors, :through => :authorships end class Authorship < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :author belongs_to :book end Here''s the code sample he provides to e...

A question on authorship and attribution policy for the Wiki. I originally credited Alan Bartlett for the page content on HowTos/ConfigureNewVideoCard, but he was not comfortable with that and the reference got removed in the edit process. I generally do not include my name on Wiki pages I create, but it is fairly common practice. Should there be a statement in the Guidelines covering this

It's a bit of a philosophical question right now, but at some point in a developing package's life - particularly one that starts small but is subsequently refactored in growth - there may be no code

There's overlap but they are not the same thing. You can see whether someone is a copyright holder by referring to the license you had and whether there is any of their content remaining. But that might not

Hadley, With all due respect, I'm not sure what exactly your deliniation between author and contributor is, but from what I can tell I don't agree with it. >From the blogpost regarding your new purrr package: "Purrr wouldn?t be possible without Lionel Henry <https://github.com/lionel->. He wrote a lot of the package and his insightful comments ..." And yet he is

Simply advice: The former co-author contributed, so he is still author and probably copyright holder and has to be listed among the authors, otherwise it would be a CRAN policy violation since even if he does not develop further on, he developed parts of the so far existing package (if you talk about a CRAN package). I am not a lawyer, hence I cannot speak for copyright/license stuff in

Those of you who track applications of R may be interested in the following: "The purpose of this paper is then to apply modern text analysis techniques using the R statistical packege [sic] to compare the works attributed to Shakespeare to those of leading alternate candidates such as Sir Frances Bacon, Christopher Marlow, and Edward de Vere...".

An example from the sos package: Its DESCRIPTION file says Author: Spencer Graves, Sundar Dorai-Raj, and Romain Francois. However, the package includes a findFn function, whose help file includes an Author(s) section, which reads, "Spencer Graves, Sundar Dorai-Raj, Romain Francois. Duncan Murdoch suggested the "???" alias for "findFn" and contributed the code for
