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_many, etc. S...

The module requires that your application''s user object (User by default) contain...

Hi everyone. This is a real noob question that I''m hoping someone out there can help me with. I have followed the tutorial How to Ad created_by and updated_b<http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Howto%20Add%20created_by%20and%20updated_by>y and it works ok for retrieving the data. I''m using the Login_Generator. I cannot get it to work on create or update. I think it''s because I can''t get a class method to supply me with the required current_user method. I just get a nil object returned. I tried to u...

It is working fine. The validates_uniqueness_of :created_by, :scope => :recipe_id isn''t working. I can easily go about adding multiple Ratings per Recipe for a user.

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 manually to...

Quick question about userstamping records in a similar way to timestamping. There is an example of how this might work at: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Howto+Add+created_by+and+updated_by/versions/7 This seems to work fine on my development system. However, I am not sure how the User.current_user method, which is required, can guarantee to return the correct user since this is a static accessor/method. If I set the class-level current_user as part of my request processing, the...

Hey, Just wondering.. Are there are any automagic constructs in rails for keeping track of number of views/clicks associated with the record? For example, created_at and updated_at are automagically updated on edit/new actions, are there any similar constructs for clicks/views of the record? Thanks.

Are class attributes thread safe? For instance, the userstamp plugin creates a User.current_user attribute and then it aliases the ActiveRecard create and update methods to write created_by and updated_by attributes using the value of User.current_user. For some reason I can imagine a case where multiple users are logged in at the same time and saving objects, and the value of User.current_user would be indeterminate. It could be that I''m applying too much "Javathink" because...
