I am having trouble with an many to many polymorphic association with STI involved. The problem is described clearly in the following StackOverflow question, so I will leave this thread short: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6582074/activerecord-has-many-through-polymorphic-associations-with-sti I am posting here hoping to get advice/direction/a solution for this, as I''ve so far been

If I define an association (in my case a polymorphic one) in an STI parent class, and try to eagerly load it in a subclass, I get the following error: ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError: Association name ''myassoc'' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it? If I redefine the same association again in the STI subclass, it works. Is this a bug or what? -- You received this message

I have a MasterEvent model. It has attributes that is required by another model Event. The user selects the MasterEvent model and I create the Event model by merging the attributes of the selected MasterEvent with the attributes that were presented for the Event model in the form. I have association declarations in the MasterEvent and Event models. If I use STI does the subclasses inherit the

I would like to associate a ‘product’ model with 3 models inherited from ‘image’: part, action and accessory. I have it working with Has_many :through relating products to images through attachments, I then have to determine the ‘type’ of the STI extension. This means i have to go product.images. While this is ok, i can see it getting tricky when i want to go products.images <<

Hi, lets say I have a a table, "Linkings" that I am using for polymorphic associations. One of the associations is to the "person" table, and there are several other associations. "Person" has 2 types, "slacker" and "suckup". It is modelled as such: class Linking < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person belongs_to :linkable, :polymorphic

I''m having trouble trying to get this to work. How the heck do you get a polymorphic controller to work? Especially integrating it with a view? Let''s say that we have shows, and episodes, then comments. A show has many episodes, an episode has many comments. the route is /shows/1/episodes/1/ Now to add a comment to that episode, how would I do it? Let''s say that the

I have the following three models created applying the polymorphic concept ========================================================================== class SoftwareCi < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :ci, :as => :content end class HardwareCi < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :ci, :as => :content end class Ci < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :content, :polymorphic => true end The

Hi all. I''m having a problem naming a polymorphic relationship. Here''s my thinking... First, an analogy. You''re walking through the mall. Through a window you see a game you''re interested. I''m attempting to model the relationship between your interest and the game you''re interested in. I have an InterestList. It''s job is to maintain

Hello everyone, I am racking my brain with a modelling question and can''t wrap my around the benefits of STI or Polymorphisms. I am trying to model Questions and Answer behavior but I think I am not using rails full power here.

Hey guys, I''ve been thinking lately about polymorphic associations, and I wonder: is there a noticeable or tangible performance "hit" from doing polymorphic associations when you''ve got your database under really high query load? So for example, maybe I have a "message" model, a "user" model and an "administrator" model, without any

I love form_for, but I really hate <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => {''f'' => f} ... <% end %> I''ve been thinking of instead allowing <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= f.partial ''form''

I have a couple models that inherit from a base class that then inherits from AR. When they are used in a polymorphic relationship the "type" is always the base class. Just curious if anyone has a reason why it doesn''t use the *actual* class rather then the base_class. I have patched AR to use the actual class if !base_class.table_exists? but it adds another query each time

If anybody on edge familiar with this could help, that would be "great" :) I have different types of things I want to be "reviewable". So, instead of having a slew of HABTM... this new Polymorphic Associations schtick seemed like the best solution. I have everything setup as I thought it should be (so I think)... but it doesn''t appear to be working correctly. Here

Hi. I am currently developing a small course system for student and teachers. The system is divided in sections and sections have many messages, comments, documents and schedules. Pretty easy to set up using ROR, just add some belongs_to and has_many relations. But everything becomes much more complicated when the section items (message, comment and so on...) all has comments. And they can also be

I have done a little polymorphic associations stuff and have refreshed my memory on it again. What it seems like is that if I have a particular record and I want to make it easy for many different parent records to associate with it using has_one or has_many, that is fine. If I want a parent record to have multiple kinds of children through one association, I don''t see how to do that

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models. I could use STI, but I think the table would just have too many columns. Now, I wanted to let the Dog''s, Whale''s

Seems the only issues I ever have with Rails are these bizarre fiddly little things that make no sense. Can''t for the life of me understand why I''m getting undefined method on form_for in a view? And it''s actually part of the acts_as_authenticated plugin that''s doing it. But how can it not know about form_for? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a resource map like this: map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :sreg10record end So a User is supposed to have (at most) one Sreg10record. The problem is in the views. I tried following this tutorial: http://www.akitaonrails.com/2007/12/12/rolling-with-rails-2-0-the-first-full-tutorial which proposes something like: <% form_for( [@user, @sreg10record] ) do |f|
