In a belongs_to association, is there a way to tell if the associated object was newly created? Hopefully this will explain my question: A Firm class declares has_many<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#M000530>:clients and a client class declares belongs_to<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#M000532>:firm. Now you do the following: Create a new firm and add clients using firm.clients.create methods. Note both firm and clients are unsaved at this poin...

I wonder if you can have more than one has_many :through association between 2 models. For example... I have a model Teacher and a model Class Now, 1 Teacher works in many Classes, right?. So I need a join model like class Work < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :teacher belongs_to :class end But I also would like to know if a teacher CAN teach a class before I

I have a Deck object and a Card object with their corresponding tables. (You know a deck of cards.) When I destory a Deck it leaves orphaned cards in the database. Is there a way to set up the objects with ActiveRecord so that when a parent object is destoryed the child objects are destroyed as well? My code below. class Deck < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :cards end class Card <

...ed info in the has_regions column, so there''s no need to make a database query. Is this "synthetic" method documented in the Rails docs? I can''t find it in the has_many documentation... http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ ClassMethods.html#M000530 How can I avoid that query? Is there any way apart from changing the name of the has_regions column? Thanks in advance, xavi

Hi, Day 3 with rails here. Forgive me. If this has been covered many times before, pls just point me at the article. I worked through the Rolling with Rails tutorial (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html) built up my cookbook. Things work great. I now want to add Ingredients to my app. So, a Recipe will have 1 or more Ingredients and any single ingredient can be

Noob Question 31,265,232 if I''m searching on an object, say order, that has many "order_lines" and I want to display order lines by Quantity ( an attribute of the order_lines ) descending how could I do that without having to do a find() with :order, but something like; Order.order_lines.each do |ol| <!-- code to diplay the line --> how can I determine the field

I have two tables I am using single table inheritance with: Page and Item. "Page" has many "Items"; "Item" belongs to "Page". Item Model: class Item < ActiveRecord::Base end class Article < Item belongs_to :page end Page Model: class Page < ActiveRecord::Base end class Issue < Page has_many :articles end In my controller, when I

Wow, got myself lost as *soon* as I left the hand-holding exercises in the books. I''m trying to set it up so when I click the (scaffold-generated) ''destroy'' link on one (of a list) of parent MySQL records, the children records in a different table get deleted also. Very simple setup: my tables are ''customers'' and ''accounts'' class

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

Hi ! I just have a simple question. I am writing an app using rails to familiarize myself with the framework (which is pretty cool, by the way). I just wanted to know why these two work differently (since "find" should be a synonym for "detect" according to the Pick Axe) : current_item = @invoice.line_items.detect {|i| i.product.id == key} current_item =

I am trying to do a simple find through the current_user but get an exception. Either someone spiked my Starbucks coffee and I am screwing up all over the place or there is something wrong. def index @league = current_user.leagues.find(13) end # Error LocalJumpError in Admin/schedule todosController#index no block given If I pass a block to it it works fine, but it is just messy: =====
