Hi all, Currently I''m having to do this: def self.authorized_roles(controller, action) specific = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, action) all_actions = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, ''*'') all_controllers = self.find_by_controller(''*'') role_ids = [] specific.each do |role_item| role_ids <<

I have been struggling for quite sometime with this. Is there any way to configure the Model to store user defined value in the inheritance_column instead of the default value (which is class_name) The problem I have is like this: I have a User model and there are different models which inherit from this like Admin, Premium, Professional, etc. Each of these inherited models are identified by a

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

This is pretty simple, but I must be missing the obvious. I''ve got a table that''s similar to this: USERS: - id int - username varchar(64) - password varchar(64) - role_id int ROLES: - id int - description varchar(16) I''ve had no troubles doing has_many relationships at all. But I want to map the user.role directly to the role model automatically (which sounds

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I want to display a different select box wether the current user is an admin or an user. So I thought I could do this in my view where my form is displayed : <p class="form-input"> <%= f.label(:role_id, ''Role:'') %> <% if (current_user.admin?) then collection_select(:user, :role_id, Role.find(:all, :order =>

I''m trying to learn rails as I go along, and having a bit of trouble. There is an undefined method cropping that I don''t know why rails thinks should be there. Firstly, I''m using rails 3, ruby 1.9.2 I have a controller with an index action This part works fine, but i am trying to add a comment form to the page that is rendered by that index action. Supposing my

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

I have an inner join query that Action Record can''t seem to pull off conventionally, so I''m trying to use :finder_sql to utilize an sql query that works beautifully in SQL. The problem is, when I try to call the method, I get the following: private method `gsub'' called for #<Array:0x267de04> Here is my has_many code: has_many :mod_privileges,

I''m looking for a way to select a default value from a select box, like this: select("user", "role_id", Role.find_all.collect {|r| [ r.name, r.id ] }, { :default_value => ''5'' } (of course, there is no ":default_value") If the form is being used on a ''create'' page, it should display a default in the select box. If

There''s a number of calls in the Rails source to convert_to_model, which takes an activerecord object instance: convert_to_model(object) Here''s the thing. All convert_to_model does is calls to_model, which returns self (the ActiveModel instance). Am I missing something here? Why call a method that returns the same thing? @user => #<User id: 3, name:

Need some advice. I''ve got two modules: artists and paintings. In my home page, I''ve got a 2nd page that says "Browse paintings", which displays ALL paintings of ALL artists. This is being rendered by paintings#index. In another page, I should show all paintings of a specific artist ONLY. Meaning, paintings from ONE artist. I cant use paintings#index for this anymore

I have a dataset, which contains a day column that I would like to retrieve results on. Is there any reason why daily_stats.where(''day = Date(?)'', dte).first returns and empty set, daily_stats.find(:first, :conditions => [''date(day) = ?'', dte]) returns the correct data and daily_stats.where({:created_at => (date.midnight - 1.day)..date.midnight}).first

What is the best way of checking this? I have 3 tables: groups users group_members class GroupMember < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :group belongs_to :user validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => "group_id" Then I want a method here that checks if a given user is a member of a given group. What is the right way of doing that? def

Hi guys, I have the strangest thing happening. The funny part is its doing exactly what I want to do, I just don''t understand how. Basically here is my model. class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users has_and_belongs_to_many :rights def self.names names = Array.new() for role in Role.find :all names << role.name end return

Hi all, I am trying to reproduce rails 3.2 behaviour with fields_for and nested attributes. class ControllerAction < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :interactions, dependent: :destroy has_many :roles, through: :interactions scope :controllers, lambda {|name| where("controller_name_id = ?", name)} scope :actions, lambda {|name| where("action_name_id =

Hello all! I have a conundrum that I''m _sure_ someone else has already thought of and solved. How does one best handle the scenario of association object changes and data integrity? For example, if I have a standard ecommerce site that sells Products and people can have Orders and an Order has_many Products... then, what happens if Product #3 is part of Order #2 but at some point, the

Hi list, how are ya? So, my current project is just begging for the ability to have parameterized associations in my ActiveRecord classes. Basically I need something that is a cross between named scopes and standard associations (has_many specifically). I''m wondering if such a thing exists or, if not, if anyone else has an elegant, equivalent solution? Example: class Sprocket <

I''m lost on regular expressions to begin with... I''m trying to fix a value to one of 4 radio buttons as there will be value of either 1,2,3 or 4 in @roles_users... <TD><input type="radio" id="roles" name="case_managers[case_manager_name]" value="Case Manager Admin" <% if =~ @roles_users /1/ checked =

Hello everyone, I was trying to set up access control in a new application Im working on, I''m trying to use the excellent authorization plugin from Bill Katz, Its pretty straight forward to setup and should be to use. But when i try to give the same permission on two differents users on the same object i get an error. (Well , Im kinda new to all this rails stuff) r = Red.find(1) u1 =

Hello forum readers, Let''s say i have two models: Person and Role (i replicated the problem with Post & Tag as well, as i thought the problem was linked to some application-specific rights problem, but it wasn''t). In Person, attr_accessible role_ids is declared, so it accepts an array of Role ids as an argument when creating / updating. If i fire up the rails console and
