Hi, I''m trying to write some methods which use a parameter to represent a Class name. A very simplistic example: def foo(class_name, conditions) x = class_name.find(:all, :conditions => "#{conditions}") end Unfortunately, this does not work. The only way around this problem that I can think of is to use eval: def foo(class_name, conditions) x = eval

I have several tables for enumerations. They all have the same content: id, name, position. I''d like to avoid the tedious work of defining a class for each one explicitly. Not least, in order to avoid clutter in the model directory. Here''s what I''ve come up with: class EnumRecord < ActiveRecord::Base def self.define_enums(*enums) enums.each do |spec|

Quick Overview: I have an ''Employee'', some ''Merchants'' and some ''Products''. A ''Merchant'' has many ''Products''. An ''Employee'' has multiple ''Merchants'', depending on their relationship. For example, the Employee may be the enrollment contact for one merchant and the

I am having a problem with doing a :through that goes back to the same table.

Hi, I cannot seem to create associations like this: class Project < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :manager, :class_name => ''User'', :foreign_key => ''manager'' belongs_to :liaison, :class_name => ''User'', :foreign_key => ''liaison'' end p = Project.new p.manager => 1 trying to retrieve associated objects

I have two classes: a Widget and a User. The User has an id that is referenced in two places on the Widget: owner_id and operator_id. How should I structure that reference for has_many?

I thought I had this nailed but.. now I''m seeing spots.. I''ve included my models below, feel free to ignore them. I''m really just after an example that works. I couldnt find one on the wiki... which is fair enough considering Ricks patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4022 that fixed them only went through 5 days ago.. Cheers -henster

All, If I have a table that has several discrete fields that all point to the same associated field, how do I model it. Specifically, If I have a project table that has 2 fields: specifying_company, and responsible_company. And one table of associated companies, how do I do the :belongs_to / :has_many stuff ie. For a given project company A may be writing the spec, but company B may be paying

Hey guys, I just came across this oddity, not sure what to make of it yet, but I think it might be incorrect behavior. When doing a @inst.find(:all, :include => ["hometeam", "awayteam"] ...) hometeam and awayteam are two references from a belongs_to that is of the same model and of the same table. I will get a pgerror stating that "matches", which is

A person has a many company_branches and A company_branch has many people. This join is represented using a "contacts" table. I am using a legacy schema so i am forced into using non-standard rails primary keys. I am using the new through relationship in rails 1.1. p=Person.find(1) b=p.company_branches # gives this error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: OCIError: ORA-00904:

Seemingly, when I use a symbol, I get an ActiveRecord error stating ''Can''t convert symbol into String.'' Why can''t I use a symbol here? Possibly this is a deeper misunderstanding of symbols in general on my part. #ActiveRecord error class Book < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :author, :class_name => :Person, :foreign_key => :author_id end #works

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

Hi all, I''m confused about how I''m supposed to specify a belongs_to relationship when the table includes multiple columns that reference the same parent table. In my case I have a "schedules" table with "opened_by" and "closed_by" columns, that both reference the "users" table. In theory, they can be two different user ids. table

Hi all, I have the following inside of an AR class definition: relationships=ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(my_relationships_sql) relationships.each do |relationship| has_many RelatedItems, :class_name => relationship[''RelatedClass''], :foreign_key => relationship[''ForeignKey''] end This kind of works, but how can I assign the name of the

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I would be very grateful for some advice.
