similar to: Re Automatically creating associated records with after_create

Hi all. I am actually using ActiveRecord outside of Rails but I don''t see that it matters for this question. I want to automatically create a registration entry when I add a new user to my application. This works fine, but it''s not automatic: class User < ActiveRecord :: Base has_many :registrations end class Test user = User.new user.registrations.create end

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 have 2 tables... club and forum, which use the "type" as I''m subclassing the Club and Forum objects. Tables are: clubs: id title type forums: id club_id title type I''ve put an "after_create" callback in the Club as Club has_one Forum: class Club < ActiveRecord::Base after_create :create_forum has_one :forum def self.create_forum # create it

Hello, I''ve come across an issue that I''m sure is a bug when using after_create with a has_one association, but I''m not 100% certain if I''m missing something. This is pretty much exactly the code I''m using. Two simple classes (Account and Contact) and I create the contact after I create an account (via after_create). I''m not passing in a

It sounds like you want a polymorphic association - class Party < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments, :as => :commentable end class BlogEntry < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments, :as => :commentable end class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :commentable, :polymorphic => true end then include columns ''commentable_id'' and

In the RoR API documentation (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html) for callbacks, there is a note that says: "*IMPORTANT:* In order for inheritance to work for the callback queues, you must specify the callbacks before specifying the associations. Otherwise, you might trigger the loading of a child before the parent has registered the callbacks and they won?t

All, I''ve been trying to figure out a strange bug in one of my applications that I think I''ve narrowed down to a problem with rails fixtures. It seems as though the after_create callback is being run twice when I save a record. This is only happening a) in the test environment, and b) when there is a fixture file for that table. The test below only prints "Doing

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 User model with a protected method defined: def set_role(rolename) role = Role.find_by_rolename(rolename) permission = Permission.new permission.role = role permission.user = self permission.save(false) end and a subclass with: after_create set_role(''client'') This always fails for me with the error: undefined method `set_role''

Hi, I realized the order of the after_create callback is dependent on where in the class it is defined. I wrote a blog post about it, but am not sure where in the code one might begin to resolve this issue. I''m hoping someone else might be able to help out or guide me in the right direction: http://ablogaboutcode.com/2011/08/17/after_create-bug-in-rails-3/ Thanks, Pan -- You

I have a Topic that has_many comments. In the search results only want Topics to show up, but I want them to include the text of the comments that they have when they are indexed. To do this I''ve added a :comments_text field for acts_as_ferret and the comments_text method gathers the text from all comments up into a string that can be indexed. The trick is that when comments are added,

I am trying to create a record with association. Within the create method, I would also like to pre-populate dependent (has_many) records from a template in the database. The child records are <u>mysteriously rolled back </u> if I insert them in a loop. If I try to insert a single child record, it works.I have read the books and tried to google my way out of this but am at a dead

Here''s the setup (working off Rails 1.1.4): Class Project belongs_to :employee Class Employee < Person has_many :projects When I try to paginate(:employees, :include => :projects) I get the error "Association named ''projects'' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?" I can :include other models that the Person class has_many or habtm of, and if I

Hi all I''m moving to using Machinist in my rspec tests and am having a problem with an after_create callback method that i need to stub out. It seems like calling ClassName.make will trigger this callback before i''ve had the chance to stub it. Can i stub it in my blueprint for that class? Or, can i stub the method for all instances of the class before i call ClassName.make?

How to update attribute(s) and save a record instance without triggering the hooks: after_save, after_create, after_update? I know it''s possible with Record.update() but this is dynamic. Only receive the instance, without knowing its class (thus cannot call the class method update()). Or is there a way of knowing the class and calling the class method? Thank you. -- Posted via

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

Hi all, I have a question regarding the duplication of a model and it''s associations. For example, if I have ModelA and it has_many SubModelAs and has_many SubModelBs associated with it. Each of the SubModels a belongs to ModelA. Is there a quick way of copying ModelA and the structure that lays below it? In the end I''ll then end up with ModelB which is a copy of A, and it has

Hello, I have order model that has many lines. I would like to create order only when all order lines will be created: require ''rubygems'' require ''activeresource'' class PurchaseOrder < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://admin:secret@localhost:23456" end o = PurchaseOrder.create(:account_ref => ''123'', :lines => [{

I have 3 tables items (columns are: id, name , type) history(columns are: id, date, username, item_id, user_id) user(id , username, password) When a user "ABC" logs in and creates a new item, a history record gets created with the following after_create filter. How to set the username field in history table to "ABC". class Item < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :histories

Hi, I posted yesterday asking how to get form tags to reference the associated objects in a habtm relationship. I was hoping for Rails Magic, but it looks like Rails doesn''t have habtm magic beyond a certain point. Here was my solution for others who might have the problem. Also, I hope someone shows me that there is a simpler way. The Database Model: class Registration <
