similar to: setting up has_many

hello. first things first - I am new to ruby on rails (ruby, too), so I''m figuring this is just a basic newbie error. I''m creating a basic photography website. And I have two tables with a relationship: photos: - id (set up as PK) - title - shutter - aperture - date - the_order ...etc photo_comments: - id (set up as a PK) - photos_id (set up as a FK) - author - date -

I''m working on a simple photo gallery in rails, it seems to be a good project for a newbie. I have photos and categories, many-to-many association. It worked well with HABTM. Then I decided that it would be good to be able to change order of the photos so that thumbnail pages would look less chaotic. So I created a Layout model which is a join model (or whatever it is called) that

Hey guys, I''ve been thinking lately about polymorphic associations, and I wonder: is there a noticeable or tangible performance "hit" from doing polymorphic associations when you''ve got your database under really high query load? So for example, maybe I have a "message" model, a "user" model and an "administrator" model, without any

I''m trying to create a data entry form but getting an error when it sumbmits. I am using an hash to get the names of the fields definied in the controller''s "new" function: def new @thing = thing.new @columns = Hash.new @columns[''thing_general''] = [ ["title","name"],

I tried: @item.stuff<<thing and in thing I have: def stuff_id=(value) # remember old stuff_id cuz Rails has lousy trigger equivalent logger.debug ''set stuff_id called'' end And apparently stuff_id doesn''t get called, but the fk is changed directly in the database? I''m about to abandon trying to do trigger related stuff in Rails and go back to

I''m a rails newb and have been Googling about this, but I''m still stumped. Not showing everything here, but basically it should be a pretty common setup so I''m sure others know what I''m doing wrong. - A meter can belong to many meter_groups - A meter_group can have many meters. - A user can ''subscribe'' to viewing a meter_group (Subscription)

I''m trying to use has_many :through, since my join model deserves being more than just an intersection table. But when I try to break the association, the break only seems "temporary": Let''s say my two tables are Users and Colors, and the join model is Favorites. user = Users.find(1) user.colors.length >> 2 c = user.colors.first >> #<Color:....>

I''m playing around with RoR and I''m having trouble figuring out how to describe a certain relationship. I''m building a social networking site where you have users who can comment on other users, photos, videos, and blogs. I''ve figured out how to have a comment belong to a user or media item through a polymorphic relationships but I dont'' know how to

How can I add specific content inside a tag when I create it using the tag helper? Is there an "inner_html" option?

I have made a sortable list which is sortable by dragging & dropping the list elements. It works, but the order of the elements will not be updated in the database. Hopefully someone could help me, or tell me what I''m doing wrong. Thnx! Rgds, Eric Controller: album_controller.rb class AlbumController < ApplicationController def show_sort_album @photos =

Hey all, I''m attempting create a photo album that can be re-ordered using the great scipts from script.aculo.us <http://script.aculo.us>. It seems to work as expected when I pretty much copy and paste the puzzle example but when I try and be a bit trickier (changing the movable elements to be divs containing images) things get wierd. I''m able to "pick" the

Does anyone have any experience with using flickr.rb? Seems the only thing which is documented for it is searching through your photos. Anyway, all I''m trying to do is return a list of my 20 most recent photos, but nothing seems to work. doing this returns 100 photos for a given user (which takes all day to load) @flickr = Flickr.new ''API KEY'' @user =

Hi everyone! I have a problem with defining 2 fk referencing the same table. I have a Program table and a Team table. The Program should have an away team and a home team fk. From my understanding, "the fk column should be named after the class of the target table, converted to lowercase, with _id appended". But, in my case, I have 2 fk referencing the same table. How can I do this?

I have an original_at column in my photos table. I''d like to get a list of distinct years that occur in this column, and some of the values are NULL. I see two ways of doing this. The SQLish way: photos = Photo.find :all, :select => ''distinct year(original_at)'' This is efficient in that it utilizes the database to do the filtering, and the code is not too ugly.

Hi all I have the following model: class PhotoGallery < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :title, :description, :file_path, :title_photo_id has_many :photos, :dependent => :destroy belongs_to :title_photo, :class_name => ''Photo'', :foreign_key => ''title_photo_id'' validates_presence_of :title, :description, :file_path

I''ve got a bunch of dynamically generated link paths that I want to use to link some dynamically-generated image paths. Specifically, I want to link thumbnails in a gallery to the larger images. But I''m stymied by Rails'' syntax. I can''t figure out how to do this. I tried this: <%= link_to(image_tag("../../images/photos/photo.photogroup/TN_

Hello there fellow RoR enthusiasts, I have been wrestling with rails 3 routes for hours trying to accomplish the following: I want to use the *same url helper* (photo_url) in my views but have a different route match made depending on the format of the parameter I pass. Seems simple enough, right?? If the parameter looks like nn.nn.nnnnnn.whatever, I want the param passed to
