Hello, is it possible to setup a model/table schema like this: Groupable --> Membership <-- Group ^ ^ | | User UserGroup I tried the following but failed: Groupable (table with ''type'' column) has_many :memberships, :as => :groupable has_many :groups, :through => :memberships

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

This is what I have class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :image, :polymorphic => true acts_as_list :scope => image end class Place < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :photos, :as => :image end class Child < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :photos, :as => :image end I want to be able to reorder the images. What I need is for the position of the photos to be set

No matter what I try I''ve been unable to work how to get this to work with the cool ActiveRecord helpers. I''m not sure if it''s possible, Josh Susser''s blog suggests it is, but damned if I can work it out... I have: Container which can contain one or more Element. An Element is a polymorph of either a Container or a Chunk. An Element can exist in one or more

It is my understanding that originally controller names where singular. In all the examples of RESTful controllers the names have been pluralized. So what is the new convention? Singular or plural controller names?

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

Is there any sort of dynamic finder for polymorphic associations? For example if I had: class InviteNode < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :inviteable, :polymorphic => true end I would like to be able to search by: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable(some_object) instead of having to do: InviteNode.find_by_inviteable_id_and_inviteable_type(some_object.id, some_object.class.name) obviously I

Polymorphic associations work great until I try to do some eager loading through :include. In my example, the interface name is ":imagehaver". Here''s my little eagerly loading find line: Image.find(params[:id], :include => :imagehaver) All it gives me is an ActiveRecord::EagerLoadPolymorphicError with no further explanation. I haven''t been able to dig up anything

Consider the following: class Event belongs_to :event_object, :polymorphic => true end class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base end class EventedAsset < Asset has_one :event, :as => :event_object end EventedAsset.find(:first).event generates the following SQL: SELECT * FROM `events` WHERE (events.event_object_id = 1 AND events.event_object_type = ''Asset'') LIMIT 1

Hi people, I''m looking into polymorphic associations as a way to cleanup some messy parts of my code. I think they will allow me to do exectly what I need, but since there''s little to none written on this subject, I''d be delighted if someone could shed some light on this. Especially what the different options and needed table structures need to be. Thanks, -

Hey, I am starting my store application again for the 3rd time, I am just trying to get eveything right so that I don''t come up with any more complex problems later. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction. I have a store that sells lots of types of product. e.g. CDs, T-Shirts, DVD Each product type has different associations. Cds - multiple artists, multiple genres,

Recently, I converted a single table inheritance design over to polymorphic associations as that made a lot more sense from a database perspective. One of the features of the ui, a drag and dropable list of items, needs to be completely reworked though. Instead of having one table with a "sort" column, I have 1 polymorphic table "items" acting as a pointer to 3 or 4 other

There is a dedicated section about eager loading in the docs. A coworker discovered eager loading does not work in polymorphic associations the hard way :-) so I''ve written a patch that documents it: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10610 There are at least a couple of tickets that implement something that would change that though: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9640

Could someone please help me with this association scheme? I am familiar with habtm as well as the :through association but this one has me stumped. Here is an example DB. Tags Table: ------------------------- id name Taggables Table: -------------------------- id tag_id taggble_type taggable_id For purposes of this example say that there are 2 other tables that can be tagged and their model

I have a MasterEvent model. It has attributes that is required by another model Event. The user selects the MasterEvent model and I create the Event model by merging the attributes of the selected MasterEvent with the attributes that were presented for the Event model in the form. I have association declarations in the MasterEvent and Event models. If I use STI does the subclasses inherit the

Hello, I''m trying to solve a problem without success. Look at: I have 3 models (Recipe, Comments and User) an Recipe has many Comments an User has many Comments an User has many Recipes I tried to implement this using polymorphic associations with the Comment model. But the expected behavior needs to be: When a new comment is created i need to refer it in Recipe and Comments. To

Hi friends, i''m usgin the edge version because i need eager loading on polymorphic associations support, but i see this: Message.find(:first, :include => :owner) #This generate this query: SQL (0.000072) SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 Message Load (0.000389) SELECT * FROM `messages` User Load (0.001070) SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE (users.id IN (1,2)) And this Message.find(:first,

I have just updated rails and added polymorphic associations but they are not working properly. I''m following the recipe 17 of "Rails Recipes" and I''m getting an "Unknown key(s): as" error. These associations work properly on the console. The problem occurs when I''m listing the items... perhaps the problem is pagination. Is this a bug or what

My app has an association that''s got me scratching my head. I have Users, and Images. A User has many Images. (Yes, another picture sharing app, but it''s for a small niche, and it doesn''t end in -r!) I would like to express a "Favorite" relationship between both Users to Users, and Users to Images. This seems like the opposite of the standard
