I am trying to build a shared-appointment system, where users can subscribe to appointments and be updated whenever changes are made to them. I have three objects in this system, appointments, users, and subscribers. Subscribers are a polymorphic object like so: class Subscriber < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :subscribable, :polymorphic => true end The tricky part is

I have a situation where I want to show the user details about an appointment they entered. They enter their name, phone number(s) and other private data in a form. I save that data in the controller with a POST from a "confirmation" page. I could simply show the params when that page is rendered (the save one), but if they use the browser refresh it''ll save the data again.

I''m not quite sure how to get at this data using Actrive record.. I''m trying to get all the appointments made for a particular project. I''m using four models, Projects, Tasks, Resources and Appointments. The SQL gets me what I''m looking for but how do I do it using Active Record? Select a.* from appointments a join resources r on r.id = a.resource_id join

Hello, My health care organization is looking for a way to do appointment reminders. We currently have staff members who spend part of each day manually calling patients to remind them of their upcoming appointments, and we would like to automate this process. Our electronic health record software would provide such information as the patient's name, phone number, and day and time of

Hi Railers, A long, long, time ago, i made a Framework/CMS in php. There were two core models: Content and Content_type. Content_type was only a list of content types (as expected): new, article, etc. Content_type was not mandatory, but it allowed later to "deactivate" types of contents, for example. So then Content stored the common attributes/properties between the different content

Hi Everyone, I have data in a long format e.g. there is one row per patient but each follow-up appointment is included in the row. So, a snippet of the data looks like this: TrialNo Drug Sex Rand Adate1 Date1 Dose1 Time1 Adate2 Date2 Dose2 Time2 B1001029 LTG M 15719 30/04/2003 15825 150 106 29/08/2003 15946 200 227 B1117003 LTG M 15734 30/04/2003 15825 200 91 03/09/2003 15951 250 217

Is find_all_by deprecated and/or find_first_by for 2.0.2? If not, what is actually deprecated? just find_all(..) and find_first()?

So....let''s have a look if I understood the issue: -Find_all_by is actually the same like Find(:all), however Find_all_by is much shorter and less complicated than the syntax of Find(:all) -So in my CONTROLLER it says @files = find(:all) however I don''t want to see all files displayed in my selection box, because I only want to see the foles whose mandant_id is the same like

Hi I''m not too sure how best to explain this but here goes! I am trying to write an appointment system. I have, through example, just about got the dynamics correct. Even tried to play with some table joins (and excuse me if I''ve used the incorrect terminlogy). But no matter what I try I can''t seem to get the following code to work. I have a cart filled with Treatment

looking at ways to return an archive, by year/month in the past, (via php) i''d do something like pull all the entries, ordered by date and iterate through them, doing a check on the month and year and adding them to an array if there was a change that method doesn''t really feel very fluid or rails-like. any suggestions?

Hi, Suppose I have a model class which has a time field: class CreateAppointments < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :appointments do |t| t.string :name t.datetime :startTime t.datetime :endTime t.string :description t.timestamps end end end When I test drive it in rails console, I can input any value int he startTime and endTime such

I have a large dataset (~1 million rows) of three variables: ID (patient's name), DATE (of appointment) and DIAGNOSIS (given on that date). Patients may have been assigned more than one diagnosis at any one appointment - leading to two rows, same ID and DATE but different DIAGNOSIS. The diagnoses may change between appointments. I want to subset the data in two ways: - define groups

I''m wanting to write a spec that a model is applying an :order option to a find call, but I don''t want to completely specify all of the find parameters. So I want to write something like this, say in a controller spec User.should_receive(:find).with(:all, hash_with_at_least(:order => ''user.name ASC'')) get ''index'', :sort =>

I finally plunked down for the beta RSpec bundle and I''m working through the initial example. Although I''m a fairly experienced RSpec user, I''m stlll learning new tricks. Anyway, I''m going though the mastermind example, and everything is going well, except that I decided to also try out the Textmate bundle for Cucumber. I decided to use Ben Mabey''s

I''m trying to use stories to drive some high-level design. I''ve got some branching scenarios where I want to follow a scenario, to establish a base situation, and then have different scenarios which ''branch'' out from that state, possibly several levels deep. I asked a bit about this a few days ago, and David pointed out the rather undocumented GivenScenario
