Hello! I have 2 table: users and buddies User: id, name, ... Buddy: id, user_id, user_buddy_id, ... So if you have 2 users 1,jack and 2,fred and fred is a buddy of jack, there is a Buddy object: id=1, user_id=1, user_buddy_id=2 I can declare only one belongs_to in Buddy and one has_many in User.

Hi, I''m having a little trouble figuring out how to make a self- referential HABTM bi-directional. I have a Employee class. Each employee can have a couple of bosses, who are also employees. The employee class has the following HABTM: has_and_belongs_to_many :bosses, :class_name => "Employee", :join_table => "bosses_courses", :association_foreign_key =>

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>

Hey everyone, I''m working on allow users to follow other users in my app so they can receive updates to what all their friends are doing (like Facebook/ Twitter).

Hi all I have a model Member that has a habtm relationship to buddies (also members). Now I wanted to sort them using sort, but this ends in an error "undefined method <=>"!

Here''s a simplistic model class. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :relatives, :class_name => ''Person'', :join_table => ''relatives'', :foreign_key => ''from_id'', :association_foreign_key => ''to_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :brothers, :class_name =>

I am running on Rails 2.2.2 on Solaris (and also on my mac) against mysql. For some reason, when I use a select in the partial, the database does not get updated with the changed value.

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''ve got a problem with some tables that don''t follow any RAILS standards. how do I define the join in the model when all three tables have wacky names? class Machine < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "tbl_CodeMgmt_Host" set_primary_key "Id" end class Pool < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "tbl_CodeMgmt_Pool" set_primary_key

Here''s a more detailed description of the data, code, and problem :- There''s a People table, with id, name, and a few things. Also a

Hi all, I started playing a couple days ago with Rails and it find it very interesting. But I''m a bit stuck with making it work with a concatenated primary key. I want to use my own names for the DB fields and I''m using SQL Server 2005. My tables look roughly like this: CREATE TABLE USERS ( USR_ID VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, USR_PASS VARCHAR(25) ) CREATE TABLE

I have a site where Users can become Friends with other Users. I used to do this with a habtm, but of course I want to stay up-to-date and convert this to a has_many :trough. Unfortunately I can''t get it to work.. the documentation on this feature is a bit sparse at the moment. This is my old habtm: has_and_belongs_to_many :friends, :join_table => ''user_friends'',

I''m trying validate date before they''re stored into the DB, but it seems, validation doesn''t work.. my model looks like this: class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :contacts, :foreign_key =>''company_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, :join_table => ''company_to_category'', :foreign_key =>

Hi all, I am having trouble trying to use reflect_on_association method with given the simplified model: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :contractor, :class_name => "BusinessUnit" end I expected the reflect_on_association method to return associated_foreign_key "contractor_id" but it returns "business_unit_id": ruby-1.9.2-p0 >

With the help of the Rails Recipes have got a self-referential HABTM relationship working, but I''m really struggling with getting a new entry from a form accepted. i should say here that the form is also submitting info for the join table too. So in my model I have: class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :subtypes, :class_name => ''Type'',
