Suppose I have a belongs_to relationship and the thing it belongs to, belongs in turn to something else. For example, I would like to do: belongs_to :city belongs_to: :county, :through => :city While it is not too much trouble to do obj.city.county, there are times when I need to iterate through the attributes and include this second-order attribute. Special code to handle this messes up

Hi Let''s say we have model Foo. Each Foo instance can have several bars. Those bars are primitive, so they shouldn''t be models. For example, Foo might be a type of convention, and the bars might be years the convention was held in. Naively, we would have a conventions_years date, and put: has_many :years inside class Convention. But then we''d get an error, since for

Hi, I often find myself using bits of code like this inside ActiveRecord, perhaps it''s useful for others, or others can improve on it: ########### # fix user input before validating it before_validation :sanitize_input # santize input before actual validation is called # this uses the little methods defined below def sanitize_input trim %w(adres postcode woonplaats email naam

Why the string interpolation is not working inside the Nokogiri method `#search` ? require ''nokogiri'' doc = Nokogiri::HTML::Document.parse <<-eotl <div> <p>foo</p> <p>foo</p> <p>bar</p> </div> eotl doc.class # => Nokogiri::HTML::Document class Person attr_accessor :name end ram = Person.new

I''m trying to setup a fairly simple GUI with Ruby to perform some SQL queries. There are a few drop-down boxes where users can select different options and then one button that when clicked should get the text from each drop-down in order to perform the query. Once it gets the result it should display it to a text control. The problem is I am not sure how to actually reference each

I have two model classes: class Item < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :channel, :counter_cache => true validates_presence_of :channel end class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :items, :dependent => true end In the Channel controller I have variable channel.items, an Array of Items. I would like to use the Array find method. However, channel.items.find() is a Rails

Hi fantastic rails core developers. Speaking of version 2.3.5: I find it rather error_prone that values such that "some text" is silently converted to false when stored in a boolean DB field. Among other things it means that assign "some text" to boolean fields on a model will not generate any validation messages (it will silently be converted to false). I think it is like

(Nuby to Ruby and Rails...) I''ve implemented security using the login generator in a simple app so that I have a user table, a roles table, and a join between them (roles_users). All works as expected. I now need to check if a user has a specific role, but my approach is off somehow. Here''s what I''ve tried thusfar: user_roles = @session[:user].roles
