Imagine I want to track people, and the clubs that they belong to. table people with columns person_id, person_name table clubs with columns club_id, club_name And I have the association table: table clubs_people with columns person_id, club_id Now I know how to do this habtm between the two, in order to associate people with clubs that they belong to. However my application also needs a

I have a people table: CREATE TABLE people ( id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, first_name varchar(75) default NULL, middle_name varchar(75) default NULL, last_name varchar(75) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1272 ; and a people_people table: CREATE TABLE people_people ( person_id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,

I am having a problem with two models that each have a HABTM relationship to the other. For example: CREATE TABLE people (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE teams (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE people_teams (person_id INT, team_id INT); The person model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :teams And the team model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :people The trouble comes when trying to destroy

I''m terribly new to Rails, so bear with me. I have an application I am working on which deals with projects and subcontractors. There can be several subs on each project and each sub can work on several projects. I have my join table set up and has_and_belongs_to_many in both models. If I manually put data in the join table, this works in my show view: <% for subcontractor in

Chris, Finally got time to fully play with your suggestions. Had to re-code a bit of stuff but the concept works - just like a bought one :~). Many thanks for the solution, Kind Regards, Eric. For those curious - here''s what it was about; On Monday 02 January 2006 02:10, Eric Sloane tried to type something like: > Hi, > I''m trying to figure the most efficient way to

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

I know there have been threads on this before but I was thinking shouldn''t multiple collection_select automatically update habtm relations when you update_attributes? In order to get multiple collection_select to work I use: collection_select(:user, :group_ids, Group.find(:all), :id, :name,{},{:multiple=>'''',:name=>''group[id][]''}) In fact if I

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 Chris, Yesterday you kindly submitted an answer to my question on modelling many to many relationships. I''ve briefly tried the proposed solution but so far with no luck. Before I get too involved - I''d like to know if mapping three way :join_tables is "legal" in a Rails sense. I only ask since you put (untested) in your mail and I can''t find any docs on

Heyo! I am setting up a self-referencial habtm relationship with the users of my app. I am using Chad Fowler''s "Rails Recipes" to get me started, and everything works great with the join table "people_friends". I add friends by doing somebody.friends << somebodyelse. However, with my app, there is an approval process so my join table has columns person_id,

Hi, I''m trying to use collection_select with a habtm relationship. Let''s say you have two tables: books and authors with a many-to-many relationship. Is there any way in rails to render something like selection boxes for each author, so that the user can change them? I tried this (and several more variations) but it doesn''t work: <% for @author in @book.authors

Hello, I have a question about HABTM and counting records. I have these models class Sort < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :reports end class Report < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :region has_and_belongs_to_many :subjects has_and_belongs_to_many :sorts end And i would like to get a count like @sort.reports.count The problem is get this query:

Hi, I posted yesterday asking how to get form tags to reference the associated objects in a habtm relationship. I was hoping for Rails Magic, but it looks like Rails doesn''t have habtm magic beyond a certain point. Here was my solution for others who might have the problem. Also, I hope someone shows me that there is a simpler way. The Database Model: class Registration <

Hi, I am trying to perform a query with ActiveRecord that I want to put into a Rails application later. For now I just wrote it within a plain old Ruby script for easier testing. I am working with an existing database so I had to map some foreign keys myself. As you can see from the models below, the database has a structure of Prospectlists <=habtm=> Contacts <=habtm=> Accounts

I need to have a table related to itself via a join table. Will HABTM support this? That is: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :recipes, :join_table => "recipes_recipes" end More importantly -- how does RoR support MULTIPLE self-joins? I.e., to relate the table to itself via multiple join tables. SFAIK, HABTM won''t support multiple

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

Hello Experts, I have a HABTM association as followed: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :user end class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :type has_and_belongs_to_many :account end class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :user end I have the following query; I Have a parent user who is creating another user under its

I''ve just been bodyslammed by a problem with has_and_belongs_to_many - as far as I can tell, if it doesn''t appear at the top of other relationship definitions it doesn''t seem to work right. For example: class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :genres has_many :albums has_many :videos has_many :cds has_many :collections end ..works fine

This has me scratching my head: a Person has many Things a Person has many Collections a Collection has many Things ...Things in a Collection are ordered ...Things in a Collection can be related to (created by) any User ...a collection has additional attributes, such as a name etc I am confused about habtm in rails (especially when using acts_as_habtm_list) vs. going the :through route.

Briefly, I want to create an :insert_sql attribute for a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and then add items to that relationship using push_with_attributes. Is that possible? Less briefly: I have a legacy postgresql database where one of the join tables has an ID column, so I had to set up the association with a custom :finder_sql attribute, as follows: class Topic <
