I have more or less the same problem. I''m trying to build a system where users can enter their friends. But the solutions seems not to work for me. I used same sql: CREATE TABLE `friends` ( `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', `friend_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', KEY `user_id` (`user_id`), KEY `friend_id` (`friend_id`),

I''m new to Rails3, and I''m just trying to get one last thing to work before I call it a night. The situation is the following (please if the code is horrible, just let me know, still learning): I want to log a dive. I might have a new location on that dive at which point I have to create a new Location, and then create the dive. A dive has_one location. A location has_many

Hi all, Windows XP Oracle 10g client OCI8 0.1.16 Ruby 1.8.5 Rails 1.1.6 I''m hitting weird behavior with the Oracle adapter and a find_by_sql call on a multi-table join. The SQL looks like this: SELECT DISTINCT e1.ip_address, loc.street, loc.city, loc.state FROM schema.net_element ne, schema.equipment e1, schema.equipment e2, schema.building b, schema.cust_loc cl, schema.location

I''m having issues getting checkboxes to update a cross-reference table correctly. I keep seeing entries in the locations_users table, for location_id and user_id, "11" and "2", respectively. The user id is fine, but there is no such location with id 11. There are only 5 locations and their ids go from 1-5! I can''t seem to find where the 11 is coming from.

The setup: class Location::Base < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name :locations ... end class Location::Address < Location::Base ... end class Location::Airport < Location::Base ... end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :location, :polymorphic => true, :class_name => "Location::Base" ... end I want a unidirectional belongs_to relationship. That

i''ve got an issue with integer columns in the database becoming strings in the model and I''m not sure why this is happening. perhaps someone can explain. given the following setup (simplified for example) tables: users ---------- id - int name - varchar(60) roles ---------- id - int name - varchar(60) roles_users (join table) ---------- role_id - int user_id - int

Say I want to gather info from various Models... Files, Folders, and put them into a ''display'' Object DisplayFilesystem that will standarize the info from both tables (for display only)... Class DisplayFilesystem attr_accessor :item_id, :name, :type, :description, :date def initialize @item_id = @name = @type = @description = @date = nil end end So in the code side

After searching arround I found a quite smart solution to me for binding form fields to model in an active way. I use aggregations with single value objects such as class Percentage attr_accessor :value def initialize(value) @value = (value.is_a? String) ? value.tr('' %'', '''').to_f : value end def to_s return unless value

I''m going though the paper back edition of agile development with Rails. On page #128 I encountered following lines of code: attr_accessor :password attr_accessible :name,:password What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? -=- Neeraj _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

Hi! Well, I thought this was easy, but for some reason it won''t work... Here is what I want to do: I am working on an API to a large database. The basic mapping is done, but I want to implement some convenience methods that take information for one object and does some calculations with it. The result should be accessible as attribute. So in a simple example: We have an object that

Hi all I have a problem with mapping url to controller which is deeper in controller directory (not root directory). I wanted to move acts_as_authenticated account_controller deeper to directory (let''s call it Foo) and route it as /Foo/Account, but i always seem to get exception that no route matched my request file structure: /app +- /controllers +- /Foo +-

Dears, [Rails 1.0.0] I''m working with a legacy schema, and around my 20+ models i''ve used some AR constructs. They are based on a finder_sql doing some dirty sql and using #{id} from the ''pivot'' model for extracting data in other tables. like : class Division < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "legacy_division" set_primary_key

I am trying to create a form for processing credit cards. For the credit card expiration date, I would like to leave the day field out of the form for obvious reasons. However, the following code is producing an error for me. Any ideas? Thanks! <p><label for="email">Expiration</label><br/> <input type="hidden" id="user_card_expiration_3i"

Hey All, Just started to play around with rails a bit today by creating a login system, but I''ve run into a glitch. ###user_controller.rb### class UserController < ApplicationController def login @title = "Log In" if request.post? and params[:user] @user = User.new(params[:user]) @userfind =

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

Hi! I have just added login feature to my rails application (followed the instruction from (Agile Web Development with Rails) but now I am getting strange errors (looks to me like some kind of routing problem) under the passenger/apache. The error is: 500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. From the log:

Ok, to keep things short. Im wondering if I need a secondary relationship table to handle my many-to-one relationships. Here is an example of what I''ve written down. For instance say I want to find all of the people in a given location. class Location < AR:Base has_many :people end class Person < AR:Base belongs_to :location end My SQL tables look like: CREATE TABLE

how can I get the benefits of integration testing with Rspec on Rails REL_0_6_3, please? When I first started playing with Rspec on Rails, I hacked spec_helper.rb to include the IntegrationTest interface (diff below) as it was the minimum change I could make to get the the ability to run multiple actions across controllers in my spec. I use it to specify authenticated sessions and stuff.
