Hi all, I''m quite new to ferret and acts_as_ferret and what to see if I can implement the following requirement using them. Suppose I have two model classes: Article and Comment. It''s obvious that one article may have many comments, so this is a one-many relationship. If I want to add full text search to these models, I''m supposed to use acts_as_ferret in both of the

I have a Production model, which represents a farmer''s crop. After create (via after_save) I call a method that creates one or more Supply models, which represent a week of anticipated product harvest. After each of those are created, a class method gets called that tries to match each new Supply with outstanding orders for the same time period. If a match is made, a transaction (an

In Blinksale, the settings link in the top right takes you to the / account url. From there, the side nav takes you to /account;templates / account;reminders , etc. >From what I''ve read, ;templates and ;reminders are custom rest actions for a given resource. But the controller (account) does not appear to be of rest nature. Also, when creating a new account, the url is / firms/new .

Hey All, I have a form that submits data to multiple models. I have class Man < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :notes has_many :contacts validates_associated :contacts, :notes validates_presence_of :first_name validates_presence_of :last_name class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :man validates_presence_of :contact_info class Note < ActiveRecord::Base

PROBLEM I have two models, Blog and BlogComment. When a blog is initially created, it has no comments. Upon creation, the title and body are automatically added to the ferret index and directly searchable. However, when a comment is added to a blog, that comment does not get added to the index and is therefore not ferretable. The desired behavior is that when a comment is added to a blog, that the

Greetings, I was on IRC about 7 hours ago and suggested that the FAQ be updated slightly. Rather than sit on my ass and complain I figured I'd ask a few people, and see if the idea was worth the time. Here's what Ive started with: http://www.dimension.net.nz/theora.html I'll be adding to it over the next 24 hours - mostly in the area of Playback and Encoding. Just threw it together

Hi, AFAIK after_create is called after_save if the entry does not exist in the DB. Is there a way to tell if a specific model is new or not in after_save? I have to do something like: def after_save add_to_history ''save'' end def after_create add_to_history ''create'' end However after_save is called when creating too. -- cheers, M.

I have a very strange problem here. I do not get this. So any help is greatly appreciated. Basically I have a model that calls a method in the background process in the "after_save" method. Let''s call the model products. So what happens is this: 1. I create a new product. 2. Everything works and the product is saved with id 13. 3. A method is called in my background

Does after_save in a model delete if an exception is raised in there? I simply did def after_save raise ''hmmm'' end and it raised the exception but there was nothing in the database. I removed that entire method and its in the database. Is this correct? Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson@contuitive.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hi, I have a Product and a corresponding Keyword (1:1 via belongs_to and has_one). I want to ensure, that two attributes (:name) of the two models alway stay in sync. What''s the easiest way to accomplish that? I did play around with before_/after_save hooks and with AR::Observers but in the end I''d always get infinite recursion... Thanks, Timo

I''ve got a web-app currently partially working. The user uploads a .txt, .docx or .doc file to the server. Currently the model handles those files, saves some metadata (the extention and orig filename) then saves the file to the hard drive. Next it converts the doc and docx files to plain text and saves the output to a txt file. My problem is I want to copy the plain text contents of

Hi, I have a multipart form upload field uploaded through <%= file_field("profile", "profile") %> Once a submit happens, the action basically does something like: profile = Profile.new(params["picture"]) This invokes the models = to method: def picture=(picture_field) ...do a bunch of assignments here end def validate ... do a bunch of validations

Hi, Something has been bothering me about model validation: how do I know that the database has not changed in between when I validate my model''s data, and when it actually gets saved to the database? As a simple example, say I have a User model like: class User validates_uniqueness_of :username end When this gets saved to the database, the validation code checks that there is

I use authlogic for authentication and paperclip for handling user''s profile picture attachments. I use the following method to get the current_user def current_user_session return @current_user_session if defined? (@current_user_session) @current_user_session = UserSession.find end def current_user return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)

Hi, I have a model similar Basket shown below. If customer_type is set then it should also set customer to nil. Likewise, if I set customer, it should inspect the customer_type attached to the customer and set accordingly within Basket. However implementing it as below doesn''t seem to work. Am I missing a better way to achieve this? I had also considered using a before_save

In a belongs_to association, is there a way to tell if the associated object was newly created? Hopefully this will explain my question: A Firm class declares has_many<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#M000530>:clients and a client class declares

class User < AR end user = User.new Let''s say that I have a user instance with me. After this record is saved I want an after_save callback which would print the id of the record. The only catch is that I am not allowed to change the User class. How can I accomplish my goal? Is that even possible to add an after_save callback on a particular instance object. Any metaprogramming

Any suggestions on how best to gain access to session-type information while in an ActiveRecord callback, such as after_save? I am encrypting some information in the database, using the generalized encryption/decryption handler in "Agile Web Development With Rails" (p 375ff). I got it working, and now I want to reference a session field (a user PIN) which is NOT stored in the

okay... i have two models employee - id - username order - id - number - created_by - approved_by now created_by and approved_by are both id''s of employees. in most cases, two different employees. currently i do something like //controller @open_orders = Order.open_orders //model def self.open_orders find(:all, :conditions => [''is_open = ?'', true],

Mark and Joel, I found two serious bugs about xattr and inline-data. the first bug: in ocfs2_mknod(), we check and found the ACL or security xattr entry could be set into inode in ocfs2_calc_xattr_init(), then don't reserve block for them. But in ocfs2_mknod_locked(), if we found ocfs2 support inline-data, then set id_count with the max_inline_data. After that, we set acl/security xattr
