similar to: Nested forms and deleting/removing has_many associations

I want to have a parent model that I can add child objects (via a has_many association) using the rails 2.3 nested form syntax. However, it seems like rails throws an error during validation of the parent model if I have a validates_presence_of :parent_id defined in the child model. Is the only solution to this to remove the validates_presence_of :parent_id? This seems like a hack-ish workaround.

My question is whether the rails helper methods for handling associations can be nested (see examples below). I suspect not as currently I''m getting "unknown method" if I try and use two associations in one call. The essence of the code is class User << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :items class Items << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :reservations belongs_to

I''ve tested this on both 2.3 RC2 and Edge. This pastie contains model, helper and view: http://pastie.org/415742 When I save a vocabulary - its terms don''t save. I''m fairly sure it worked in RC1. Would appreciate any insight. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to combine the new nested forms in rails 2.3 with a has_many through relationship via checkboxes. Basically I have a page model, a page_category model and a category_items join table. Pages have many page categories through category items. The category_items table is polymorphic so i can use it for other models who need categories (maybe this is

Hi, I''m trying to create a Blog in it''s own subdirectory for an E-commerce site. Everything is hooked up just fine for the basic posting, but when I try to add Comments, I''m getting all sorts of headaches! I''m referring to the screencast by Ryan Bates on the rubyonrails.org site. Basically, my controller is Blog::Comments, in my Blog::Post comment form I have

I have two models, links and tags, associated through a 3rd model, link_tags. I added the following to my link model, has_many :tags, :through => :link_tags has_many :link_tags accepts_nested_attributes_for :tags, :allow_destroy => :false, :reject_if => proc { |attrs| attrs.all? { |k, v| v.blank? } } and put this in a partial called by the new and edit forms for links,

Hi everyone. I''ve made a default change to has_many :through associations that I felt was important to make before they''re released. This is after some tickets and confusion I''ve seen regarding has_many :through. class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :channel end class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :connections

Hi, I haven''t done any associations before, so please forgive my incorrect use of terminology... If I set up a has_many :through association, can I manipulate the associated instances directly (like an Array), or do I need to manipulate the join model? For example, suppose I have two classes and the associated join model: class foo has_many :foo_bars has_many :bars, :through

Hi. I have a couple of best practices questions regarding polymorphic associations, naming join tables and user permissions. Currently I have implemented the user authentication model from the rails recipes book. Basically it goes something like this: MODEL CLASSES: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base

Given the models Country, State, City and Person as follows. class Country < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :states end class State < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :country has_many :cities end class City < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :state has_many :people end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :city end Is there any way that doesn''t allow to delete

I''ve got a User model and a Book model. A user is required to submit books each month to be reviewed by other users. I have the following relationships defined: # the join model book_review.rb belongs_to :user belongs_to :book end book.rb # each book is reviewed by many users. This allows us to get the BookReview # objects associated with this book has_many :book_reviews,

Hi, I am trying to use ActiveLdap for authentication in my rails app. But I am running into a problem with the "belongs_to" and "has_many" associations. Here ist how my models look like. class Person < ActiveLdap::Base ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "uid", :prefix => "ou=People", :classes =>

I am search for a nice tidy solution to the following or if only to talk the problem out aloud. I have three tables products has_many :pricings pricings belongs_to :product belongs_to :pricing_group pricing_groups had_many :pricings I would like to have a single page where I can add/edit a product and on the same page administer the pricing for that product for each pricing group.

I just now thought of this, and sure enough it works like a charm (at least so far in my limited testing): has_many :events, :dependent => :delete_all has_many :upcoming_events, :class_name => "Event", :conditions => "date > NOW()" The purpose of this is that it makes eager loading of subsets of associations possible without replacing all the magic of the

Hi all, I have some problems with a few temporary objects, this is the relation between them: A -(1,n)-> B -(1,1)-> C B -(1,n)-> D C -(1,n)-> D I have a "wizard" to create "A" objects, I''m storing everything in the session, something like this: a = A.new session[:a_object] = a ... b = B.new b.c = some_c_instace a.bs << b ... d = D.new b.ds

Is it possible to serialize ActiveRecord objects and ActiveRecord children to XML? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have these 3 models. class Ivr < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :klusterings, :dependent => :destroy has_many :klusters, :through => :klusterings, :uniq => true end class Kluster < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :klusterings, :dependent => :destroy has_many :ivrs, :through => :klusterings, :uniq => true end class Klustering < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :kluster

Am interested in the new PATCH method that will be included in Rails 4, but have a question/concern, and forgive me if I''m misunderstanding it. So, if the request parameter _method is set to "patch", the update is processed as a patch. But, let''s say you have a model called Airplane and Airplane has a collection of FlightCrewMembers which it

So this functionality isn''t supported natively in Rails 3 (or any versions before that for that matter) But I had found a work around via this blog post: http://geoff.evason.name/2010/04/23/nested-has_many-through-in-rails-or-how-to-do-a-3-table-join/ This didn''t work on Rails 3 because it wasn''t able to properly build the query from the join with symbols. I was

Considering an object with several has_many :through => associations, what is the ''best'' way to handle validations? As an example: class Student < ActiveRecord::Base # some attrbutes like # :name # :grade # relationships has_many :students_assignment, :dependent => :destroy has_many :assignments, :through => :students_assignment has_many
