I have a working Rails app with several related tables, but can''t find an answer to this question in the Dave Thomas Rails book.

I''m attempting to wrestle an old DB into Rails. This relationship is giving me trouble: class Show < AR::Base has_many :segments end class Segment < AR::Base belongs_to :show has_one :media #this has no PK/FK relation end A Segment is "linked" to Media by Media.name, which is the result of concatenating Segment.name and Segment.part. As I said there are is no

(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

It occurred to me over the last few days that in fact I hadn''t been a model ShoreWall Citizen so I went to the site and visited this link for inspiration: http://www.cityofshoreline.com/about/history/index.html Here I was reminded of just how open source communities are suppose to work. Just like the early beginnings of Shoreline, Tom has brought together many scattered settlements
