So I have the following model class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic has_many :topics, :order => :position acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :topic_id end that I use for a site''s navigation. Everything (list, create, edit, even the drag&drop sort) works fine, except the destroy function, which the vanilla version def destroy

I am working on an Rails application that uses a pretty complex category structure through out the site. I have defined a table to house all the info and a FK to reference parents within the table CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL, parent_id int(11) default NULL, constraint fk_category_id foreign key (category_id) references

I am trying to create a record with association. Within the create method, I would also like to pre-populate dependent (has_many) records from a template in the database. The child records are <u>mysteriously rolled back </u> if I insert them in a loop. If I try to insert a single child record, it works.I have read the books and tried to google my way out of this but am at a dead

Hi I''m pretty much a newbie to Rails and I have at least two projects under development that are going to need the same type of constructs and I''m struggling to get my head around how to achieve what I want using Rails models and relationships. In one project I have a hierarchy of (geographical) sites. For example: Earth Europe Ireland Cork Kerry Galway

hi, I''ve got the following tables in mysql notation: CREATE TABLE `nodes` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `parent_id` int(11) default ''0'', `group_id` int(11) default ''0'', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), ); CREATE TABLE `groups` ( `parent_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

I love the query interface (ActiveMethod::QueryMethods), but one thing has bugged me: why doesn''t it generate calls for polymorphic associations? For example: class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent, :polymorphic => true end I would expect: MyModel.where(:parent => a) to be equivalent to: MyModel.where("my_models.parent_id = ? AND

Hi, I''m using the latest gem version of rails under MacOS Tiger. I was trying to use acts_as_tree as described in the rails book. So I have something like: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "title" end create table categories ( id int not null auto_increment, title

I am working on a small model mixin called attachment_kung to make attachment_fu polymorphic, so you no longer need a different table and Model class for every associated attachment (Productimage, Ad_doc, etc). All you really need is one model and table to handel all your attachments - in some cases, anyway. I have the code working, but have run into one small hitch that I can''t seem to

Hi, I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I would be very grateful for some advice. I''ve got the following code. class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base include Versionable # Some methods to handle my versioned objects has_many :versions, :class_name => "FooVersion", :foreign_key => "parent_id" belongs_to :curr, :class_name => "FooVersion",

For some reason, rails is generating this SQL: SELECT FIRST 1 * FROM questions WHERE (parent_id IS NULL) ORDER BY position DESC 1. There is no column named position referenced in my code. 2. POSITION is a reserved word in SQL92. It is the name of a string function that returns the offset of one string within another. I believe that this is a bug in Rails. Either position should be

I am creating a database for movies (films) and television shows (shows) that will have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships with the pictures table. CREATE TABLE screenshots ( id serial NOT NULL, filename character varying NOT NULL, content_type character varying NOT NULL, primary key (id) ); CREATE TABLE films ( id serial NOT NULL, name character varying NOT NULL,

Ok, So, I''ve got two data tables associated through a foreign key. class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent, :class => Parent, :foreign_key => "parent_id" # also has attr1, attr2 end class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children, :class => Child, :foreign_key => "parent_id" end So, I''m trying to build the new/edit

I am using ruby 1.8.4 with rails 1.0 under fedora core 3 on a WIntel platform. Rails appears to be losing key information under some circumstances. Specifically, in the Questions class that follows, the presentation_id property is apparently being lost. The STDOUT dump from the create method indicates that the presentation_id should be 42, but the dump from the database shows that it is 43,

Is it possible to put conditions relative to the current instance in has_many''s :conditions? For example, in a forum app: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic has_many :self_and_descendants, :class_name => "Post", :order => "lft", :conditions => "topic_id = #{topic_id} AND (lft BETWEEN #{lft} AND #{rgt})" end With the

Hi there, I try to develop a medical application using ruby on rails. There are many categories which can contain subcategories. I defined the model like this: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :notes belongs_to :parent_category, :class_name=>"Category", :foreign_key=>"category_id" has_many :sub_categories,

Hi, I got Image model that has_attachment and belongs_to 2 other models via polymorphic association. The problem is that I''d like to customize has_attachment options (resize image) depending on which model the Image is related to - i.e. if Image belongs to Article it should be resized using different settings than if it belongs to Header. Is there a smart way to do it or do I have to

Hello guys, I''m a newbie in RoR and I have a problem. My DB structure is ====================================== topics table : id(int,11) name(varchar,255) categories : id (int,11) topic_id(varchar,255) name(varchar,255) ====================================== --Models:-- class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :categories end class

What is the best way to add action after a belongs_to assignment? (Just like ''after_add'' in has_many assignment). I see that there is no callbacks for belongs_to. I have tried overriding parent= : alias :parent_before_mod= :parent= def parent=(the_parent) parent_before_mod = the_parent if save # my actions here end end but when I tried to assign parent, parent_id

I have a couple of resources, one nested in the other, such that my resource spec in routes.rb is: map.resources :parents, :has_many => :children This will generate a route for a new child that assumes that the parent has already been saved, something like: /parents/:parent_id/children/new But what if I want a route that handles the case where the parent resource is also new, and thus

I''m trying to set up a directional self-referential HABTM to represent an arbitrary semi-hierarchical structure; it works for any data prepopulated into the db, but when I try to create a new relationship, I just get NULLs in both key columns (or 0''s if I turn on the no-null constraint). Here are the migrations: class CreateNodes < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up
