similar to: Nested Attributes and find_or_create

I am attempting to use find_or_create on a foreign table with a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with my current table. I am doing the following: term = school.terms.find_or_create_by_code("FALL06") the queries in the log show the expected SELECT statement to query if there is a join table record between the school and term with code "FALL06": SELECT * FROM term INNER

Today I just spent 3 hours (and before a demo!) trying to figure out why my polymorphic association fields were breaking. Turns out someone else put in a patch for this 6 months ago. I''m not sure if its the same solution I''d use... I''d rather find_or_create attempt to use AssociationProxy#build if its available and only Base#new if we''re not on a proxy.

This patch relaxes DynamicFinderMatch to recognize find_or_create / find_or_initialize without a trailing _by_attribute_list. I''ve found this useful when the relevant attributes have already been built up through a chain of associations or named scopes.

Hi, Song has_and_belongs_to_many :people accepts_nested_attributes_for :people Person validates :uniqueness => true If person record not present, nested attributes working great! in rails way. i.e., inserting into songs, people and people_songs table correctly.

Is there any ActiveRecord''s dynamic finder that can allow me to find first association or create it if it doesn''t exist. Something like this (not this code is conceptual - it does not work!): Comment.posts.find_or_create(:first) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

I have a problem declaring a relationship through a join_table ; the SQL generated by ActiveRecord is correct, but there are two columns called ''id'', and the final object gets the ''wrong'' column ... Here''s a more detailed description of the data, code, and problem :- There''s a People table, with id, name, and a few things. Also a

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

Hi, I''m currently stuck with a problem I just can''t find a clever solution for. I checked every tutorial, issuetracker, API reference I could find but found nothing to "enlighten" me --> I desperately need your help :-). My Question is: is it possible to use nested forms for habtm associations? --> Here some more info about what I wanted to do and what failed

Trying to model a bunch of users that have friends that are other users. clearly a job for has_and_belongs_to_many, but the trick is, they have ratings for their friends. I have gone through the Rails Recipes book, and it seems like I''m trying to combine the self-referential many-to-many recipe (12) and the many to many relationships where the relationship itself has data recipe (16). So

so i am trying to save to a join table in a habtm relationship, but i am having problems. from my view, i pass in a group id with: = link_to "Create New User", new_user_url(:group => 1) User model (user.rb) class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :user_groups accepts_nested_attributes_for :user_groups end UserGroups model (user_groups.rb) class UserGroup <

I''ve just been bodyslammed by a problem with has_and_belongs_to_many - as far as I can tell, if it doesn''t appear at the top of other relationship definitions it doesn''t seem to work right. For example: class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :genres has_many :albums has_many :videos has_many :cds has_many :collections end ..works fine

Hi Chris, Yesterday you kindly submitted an answer to my question on modelling many to many relationships. I''ve briefly tried the proposed solution but so far with no luck. Before I get too involved - I''d like to know if mapping three way :join_tables is "legal" in a Rails sense. I only ask since you put (untested) in your mail and I can''t find any docs on

Hi ! (See references at the end) I have a slight problem. Whenever I save one of my domain models, which contains an has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with another one, the relationships are doubled. My domain is a series of pictures, where each picture can be tagged with one or more words. So, a picture of my dog could be tagged "Jordy, Dog, Dog 2005", for example. In my

I have a class Player, and a class Game. Game has two HABTM relationships to the Player table through seperate relationship tables. class Game < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :players, :uniq => true has_and_belongs_to_many :victors, :class_name => ''Player'', :uniq => true end When I add Player A to players, and Player B to victors, and save the

Anybody know how I can override delete/destroy in objects that have has_and_belongs_to_many behavior specified? I''m having issues overriding delete for an ActiveRecord object that contains a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. Delete and destroy are properly overridden for objects that do not have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships specified, but as soon as I add any the overridden

Rails 3.1.3 I have tables, Video and Script having association, Video 1 --- n Script So, every Script needs the parent id, in this case, video_id. If I simply create a new Script instance, the view renders as follows. <%= render :partial => "new_script", :locals => { :script => Script.new(:video_id => @video.id)} %> which works fine. Now I would like to

Hi all, I have two types of models which I''m not sure how to model (or if it''s even feasible) with ActiveRecord. Let me know if you''ve got any good ideas. 1) For those of you who are familliar with del.icio.us, you probably know that you can bookmark a site, and add your own tags to it. Each person has their own tags for a site, even though multiple people can

Hi all, I''m using Windows Xp, Mysql 5, Webrick, Rails 1.0 I''ve 3 tables which have HABTM relationship. My tables names are all set to uncountble.

Hello, Is it possible to have several HABTM-relationships for the same object? Example: Imagine I have 3 objects (classroom, student, teacher) and define the associations for the student as: class Student < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :classrooms has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers class Classroom < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :students class Teacher <

So I''ve worked through Agile Web Development with Rails and I''m now trying my first little app to get into the swing of things. Its a task tracking app where people can create tasks and assign them to others, and also log time against the tasks. I''m having trouble working out the model relationships. This is what I''ve got so far, but its not right as
