similar to: HABTM acting as list on Rails 2

Hi, I am interested in has_and_belongs_to_many with an acts_as_list relationship where the position field is in the join table. I found the following tutorial http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToUseActsAsListWithHasAndBelongsToMany Is there a newer way that is less complicated? What about the :through parameter that I read DHH is writing? Is that a reality yet? Thanks, Peter

I''m trying to figure out the best way to set this data model up. I''m still pretty new to Rails, but hopefully I could turn this into something useful to others as well. Here are the basics: User has_many items items are taggable (items habtm taggings, tags habtm taggings) I also want users to be able to order their tagged items. So if I''ve tagged 5 items as

Ok, David says on page 241 that sometimes a many-to-many relation with attributes are better implemented as an actual model instead of using HABTM. Well, I''ve got that situation and I can''t figure it out. All of the examples in the book have HABTM examples between 2 different tables, but I want to have a HABTM relation on 1 table with itself. (e.g., if I have a table Things,

Hi all , I have a habtm relation between 2 tables: - users - rights If there a way to affect a destroy dependance on those 2 tables only for the last instance? In my opinion, dependent => :destroy is not the solution because this delete all the linked instance. For example, if I have: # in User model this: - "Joooooo" - "Jeannnn" - "Tommmm" # in Right

Hello, Is it possible to have several HABTM-relationships for the same object? Example: Imagine I have 3 objects (classroom, student, teacher) and define the associations for the student as: class Student < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :classrooms has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers class Classroom < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :students class Teacher <

Hi all, I need to model simple typed polymorphic relations: ''John'' [''works_for''] ''Bill'' ''John'' [''speaks_for''] ''Microsoft'' ''Microsoft'' [''hold_shares_of''] ''Apple'' I''m having a hard time combining : - S.T.I.

Hi, Posting here since issue tracking isn''t the best place to discuss. I can understand habtm is moving towards deprecating support for extra attributes in join_table, and to use :through for those cases instead. To clarify, patch<http://dev.rubyonrails.org/attachment/ticket/5216/habtm_join_table_test.patch1.diff>for #5216 <http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5216>

Hello guys. I was able to figure out that my "stack level too deep" error I was getting with my HABTM destroy method was the result of a bug in rails 1.0. I upgraded to 1.1.2 and now the views and any console-run commands for destroying AR objects linked together via HABTM work just fine. I have HABTM setup between stories and submissions. The issue is that the destroy methods in

All, Win XP SQL Server 2000 Rails 1.1.6 (AR 1.14.4) I have two objects (Job and Warning) in a HABTM relationship. Below are the pertinent sections of the model files and the schema for the join table. job.rb: class Job < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :warnings, :foreign_key => ''JobReferenceNumber'' set_table_name :JobData set_primary_key

I don''t think this needs much explanation. Is what I''m trying to do even possible? class CreateLanguagesProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration create_table languages_products do |t| t.column :language_id, :integer t.column :product_id, :integer t.column :language_position, :integer end end class Language < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_list :scope =>

hi all, i''m new to this group and currently using Rails 3.0.3 and meta_where 0.9.10. i''m considering how to make a full-text searching feature to my project, and my models, for example, should be defined like below: class Group < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users # :title (string) end class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users

Is there a way to update attributes in a HABTM join table? Right now I am deleting the join and then recreating it with new attributes. I have a table "categories" and another table "items". They are both HABTM with the join table "categories_items" between them. If an item is joined to a category once, no problem, we create the join. But if an item is

For a while, I''ve been getting that HMT is replacing HABTM. It appears that HMT can do all of what HABTM can do and more. The question is: Should I stop using HABTM? Let''s take a simple case: A case has many categories For a given category, there are certain valid statuses Category has_and_belongs_to_many :statuses Status has_and_belongs_to_many :categories Question: Is

Hi there, I have a question on what would be the best way to save a HABTM model. A posting habtm categories, and a category habtm postings. class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :postings end class Posting < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end In my blog_controller, where the actual posting is saved, is where I think I''m

Hi, I have three Models: User, Group and File. User habtm groups and Group habtm Files How can I find all files that a particular user has access to? eg user.groups.files ? As user.groups returns an array, the above doesn''t work. Id like to find the files for all groups in that array, without adding any code to the User model. Thanks in advance PS I just posted this in the

Hello all This is my first post so excuse the basic question. (and any repeats I just got an email saying this post was too big so I have re-submitted a smaller version) I was following the thread on http://lists.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-May/038988.html regarding the STI on HABTM for RoR. I have a very similar problem and was hoping for some help. I have the

Hi there I have an habtm association between 2 Models. I regularly have to truncate the table on one side of the relationship and repopulate the table with a fresh csv file. I notice that f I do Model.delete_all, none of the records in my habtm join table get deleted, whereas if I use destroy_all they do. However, the overhead of using destroy_all is too great. For the amount of records I have

Pardon my newbness. I''m trying to create, populate, and save an object with an HABTM mapping. That''s not working too well so far ;) Assuming I have the mapping correct (HA!) and the db set up properly, how do I create the select and options? I guess mostly I want to know what I''m supposed to name it. I have a FilingEvent class - HABTM State (both models have the

Hi, I have a strange problem with testing classes which have a HABTM relation. It seems that while running my tests with rake the fixture for the association table is not loaded - as a result I get a failure on a test which simply checks the number of associated elements - it says it''s 0 although there should be one. The weird thing is that when I run the tests with rcov
