I''m making a simple questionnaire app using RoR. I''ve got a model for Questions, a model for Answers, and a third model, Qa, for matching each question to five possible answers through foreign keys. So, each qa has a question and five answers , a1-a5, through belongs_to and a :foreign_key, and then a selected_answer field for specifying which answer was selected by the user. The

For a while, I''ve been getting that HMT is replacing HABTM. It appears that HMT can do all of what HABTM can do and more. The question is: Should I stop using HABTM? Let''s take a simple case: A case has many categories For a given category, there are certain valid statuses Category has_and_belongs_to_many :statuses Status has_and_belongs_to_many :categories Question: Is

Hello everyone, I was trying to set up access control in a new application Im working on, I''m trying to use the excellent authorization plugin from Bill Katz, Its pretty straight forward to setup and should be to use. But when i try to give the same permission on two differents users on the same object i get an error. (Well , Im kinda new to all this rails stuff) r = Red.find(1) u1 =

Hi folks, I have a question regarding validates_uniqueness_of, and similar before-filter-like events attempting to guarantee some DB state prior to modification. >From my reading of ActiveRecord, validate_uniqueness_of appears to cause a SELECT on the underlying table attempting to ensure that a record with ID(s) specified in the validates_uniqueness_of statement is not already present, prior

I''ve just about finished up work on a plugin similar to acts_as_taggable, but for comments instead which would allow you to attach comments (possibly even a threaded discussion if conbined with acts_as_tree) to any object. Is there anyone that would be interested in it? I don''t want to go throug the trouble of finding some way to distribute it unless I know that there is a

TeamMembers project_id user_id role What I would like to do is have different roles so I can have in the project model has_many :core_members, :through => :team_members, :source => :user but I would like to limit this to only those with the "core" role in the team members table for

I have two ActiveRecord classes that point at each other with a "has_and_belongs_to_many" (habtm) relationship using a join table. The join table has an a few additional columns besides the _id columns. For those of you with the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails book, it''s exactly the same setup as the articles<->articles_users<->users example on p240. The habtm

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

Hi, I''m trying to figure the most efficient way to model the following. I can think of at least two ways to relate the tables but from a client/server perspective! I''m wondering how to best (and elegantly)relate them from an AR perspective. A project has many people, A person can work on many projects at any time, A project has many roles, A role is performed by a person, A

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

I''m working on a Rails app that needs to expose a RESTful web service. I''m curious to know some of the best practices as it relates to RESTful API design. Let''s say I have a set of related objects on the server side. I''ll use the venerable subscribers, subscriptions and magazines example to lay it out. class Subscriber < AR has_many :subscriptions

Is there a reason I can''t find any information on using the onsubmit attribute with form_for?

I''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

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
