Hello, Thank you all in advance for your help with this. Environment: Windows XP Pro (Development only) Ruby 1.84 Rails 1.1.0 SaltedHashLoginGenerator Plugins: file_column, userstamp I have a user table per the salted_hash_login generator. I have an orders table that has a column named created_by that is updated by the userstamp plugin.

I have a model with a belongs_to association. The first model is called Thing and the associated model is User. I''m attempting to assign the user to the thing. To accomplish this I used a before_save method, like this: class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key => "created_by_user_id" def before_create self.created_by = get_user() end I had trouble getting the assignment to work. I initially tried simply created_by = get_user() (no ''self'') I don'...

DB field names: If I have a table that references 2 or more separate users from my users table, is there a recommended naming convention for this situation? In my case, I have 3 users associated with a record in my projects table: requester_user_id created_by updated_by I could name one of them "user_id", and then projects.user would work I guess, but wouldn''t work for the others. Is there a recommendation for this kind of situation? Plurality in Classes: Not in class names as much as in the part where you say belongs_to, has...

...s handling invitations of users to tasks in a task management application. If the user issuing the invitation is the user being invited (ie the user assigned themselves to a task), I want to activate the invitation immediately in the model. The trouble is that this: if self.assignable == self.created_by self.activated_at = Time.now self.activation_code = nil end fails to detect equality correctly. I''ve tried ===, eql? etc. When I look at .__id__ when I know that I set assignable equal to created_by, the values are different (wildly so; one is like 4 and the other is a fi...

Hi, I want to automate somewhat the addition of created_by/updated_by fields on my models (i.e. to include username). What''s the best/recommended way to do this? Would it be to: a) Find out how to extend the ActiveRecord::Base itself (I haven''t extended a class before yet) b) Use a plugin type approach where you have to add a tag m...

Hello, I''m not sure if I''m missing something blindingly obvious here. All the relationships that Rails comes with assume 0..n, yes? It''s not a strict 1 to 1 or 1 to n because it''s optional. My question is this - What is the best way to implement a required relationship? For example, if I require that a comment is made by a user (a user has many
