search for: location_typ

...ecifically, the headache involved with the many-to-many and the caching and everything isn''t worth the cost. I just want to be able to store a location for a Person (and for various other models that are unrelated to Person). Some questions: Why does Person need both a location_id and a location_type? In order to instantiate the location, it needs to look up the whole row in the locations table, which includes a "type" column (as required by single table inheritance). Why won''t the new sexy fixtures work on this (regardless of whether Person has a location_type column)? T...

Is it supposed to do that? I find it very confusing. AR 3.0.10 class Unit has_many :units, :finder_sql => proc { "SELECT * FROM `#{table_name}` WHERE `location_id`=#{id} AND `location_type`=#{Location::UNIT}" } end Both should return [].

Q. What resource do readers recommend for referencing regarding best practices for form construction in Rails? I have the following situation: location_type of Locations may have one of five (5) possible codes. Presently I have these codes listed in a drop-down select constructed thusly: <p> <b>Location type</b><br /> <%= f.select :location_type, [ [''MAIN - Main Address'', ...

...filter the autocomplete results by the value of the select. My view code looks like this: <%= form_remote_tag :update => "search_results", :url => { :action => :search } %> Location: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :location, :name %> <%= select :loc, :type, @location_types.map { |l| [l.location_type] } %> <%= submit_tag "Search", :class => "search_btn" %> <%= end_form_tag %> Is this possible? Thanks, Chris
