similar to: has_many :through with :order?

I have a model like so class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :image_links, :order => :position has_many :product_images, :order => ''image_links.position'', :through => :image_links end The problem is that :order clause just gets ignored. How do you server records in a specific order when the order column is on the join model?

I was wondering if it''s possible to some how control the :order given on a has_many depending on another attribute? Or do I need to just create multiple has_many relationships pointing to the same table but with different orders and then select which one I use in the controller instead? e.g class Category < AR::B has_many :products, :order => //something magical?// end

Just when I started getting the hang of has_and_belongs_to_many relationships, I realize that I should probably convert several of my app''s joins to has_many :through type relationships. One example, pairing users with categories via subscriptions, where each user can be the "owner" of a category, has given me particular trouble when I try to update a user''s

My environment.rb contains config.time_zone = ''UTC'' If my understanding is correct, rails should assume time values coming from the database are UTC, and since config.time_zone is set to ''UTC'', it should not try to convert the times. Instead, rails is assuming that the db values are Eastern (my local zone) and is incorrectly adding four hours to convert to

I''m trying to order a find through a has_many association. I have a model called SalesOrder.

I''m building a simple support ticket system for use in our office. I''ve got a model called Ticket and one called Category and I''m trying to set it up so that I can add categories at will and assign many categories to a single ticket.

It would appear that using :include on a model that has_many with an :order on another model makes it so that the order is ignored. Is this supposed to happen? Strikes me as odd behavior. For example class Farmer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :cows, :order => ''position'' end class Cow < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_list :scope => :farmer end If I do

Hi all, I''m messing around with has_many, and has_many :through (on edge rails), using a join model. Branches and Projects join through ProjectsAtBranches.

But I cannot do @branch.projects << Branch.find(blah), or @branch.projects.clear, and then save the

It seems that using a join model that joins with two has_many''s will fail to generate proper SQL class StudentSemesterRecord < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :semester has_many :discipline_records, :through => :semester end class Semester < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :student_semester_records has_many :discipline_records end class DisciplineRecord <
