similar to: newbie q on activerecord - has_one and has_many on same table?

A lot has been posted about validation issues with associations, however, I don''t see this issue addressed specifically. ex: class Foo has_one :schedule, :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :schedule class Schedule belongs_to :foo validates_presence_of :foo_id this creates a circular dependency that breaks test frameworks like pickle and machinist. At first I was

People, In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own "description_id" in the book table?

While I''m happy to continue talking about the vagaries of Rails deployments, I also need to actually build apps. :) I may have discovered a bit of a problem with :include as it applies to has_one associations. First, let me say that I''m a big fan of :include for reducing the number of SQL calls. There are times when I wish it could go more than 1 step away from the parent

Having problems with STI. Names below have been changed to protect the innocent. Imagine a system that allows someone to apply for one of two different types of school scholarships. Each scholarship goes through a different review process, represented by a state machine (this is not a state machine question).

Heya everyone! I am quite new to Rails and I am reading AWDwR. I am at Task E "Check Out!". I understand it quite well, but I have a problem with the last playground exercise: Add a Table which contains the payment types. All goes well, but I am not sure whether I should use has_many or has_one(as in the Playground wiki at http://wiki.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/PT-E-3). I use the

I''m new to Rails3, and I''m just trying to get one last thing to work before I call it a night. The situation is the following (please if the code is horrible, just let me know, still learning): I want to log a dive. I might have a new location on that dive at which point I have to create a new Location, and then create the dive. A dive has_one location. A location has_many

Hi All, Probably this has been asked numerous times, I apologize already! Can somebody point me to a good tutorial on how Rails works with relations? I know about database design and normalization, I also know about programming in general (and OOP for that matter). Only thing I can say is that I''m following the "Four days on Rails" tutorial by John McCreesh. He writes

I''m attempting to wrestle an old DB into Rails. This relationship is giving me trouble: class Show < AR::Base has_many :segments end class Segment < AR::Base belongs_to :show has_one :media #this has no PK/FK relation end A Segment is "linked" to Media by Media.name, which is the result of concatenating Segment.name and Segment.part. As I said there are is no

There is a another way?? class Usuario < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :persona has_many :solicituds, :dependent => :destroy has_many :convenios, :through =>

My apologies if this is a dumb question, but I''ve searched around and haven''t been able to come up with a solution. Is there a way when specifying a has_one association to specify a default value for an object if data is missing in the child table. For instance: class Student has_one :university end if no university is associated to the student in the database, I would

I have a problem with the :include option in find for my has_one :through association. I have Users, Profiles and Customers, all connected to each other with a has_one :through => :membership association like this: class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base #could also be user or customer has_one :membership # i saw an acrticle of Ryan about has_one :through, there this would be has_many, is

I''m having a difficult time wrapping my head around a set of models and their associations and seeing how they map into Rails. I''ll try to lay out my problem using the has_many and belongs_to structures. I have a RuleSpace, a Rule, and a Subject. A RuleSpace has_many Rules A RulesSpace has_many Subjects through Rules A Rule belongs_to (many) RuleSpaces A Rule has_many

Hi, I am very confused about an aspect of has_one and has_many relations, with regard to using the build method, and saving the belongs_to side. It''s a somewhat long post. so please bear with me :) First let''s consider the has_one scenario. Let''s say I have a student who must own exactly one car: class Student has_one(:car) end class Car belongs_to(:student)

Hello, im trying to wrap a fairly ugly legacy schema using AR.

I''m looking for a way to make this work (I think the code is more explanatory at this point): ## THIS WORKS has_many :images, :as => :imageable, :dependent => :destroy, :order => ''position ASC'' # @product.images => # ## THIS DOESNT has_one :featured_image, :as => :imageable, :conditions => "position = 1" # @product.featured_image =>
