I need to have a table related to itself via a join table. Will HABTM support this? That is: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :recipes, :join_table => "recipes_recipes" end More importantly -- how does RoR support MULTIPLE self-joins? I.e., to relate the table to itself via multiple join tables. SFAIK, HABTM won''t support multiple

Here''s a simplistic model class. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :relatives, :class_name => ''Person'', :join_table => ''relatives'', :foreign_key => ''from_id'', :association_foreign_key => ''to_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :brothers, :class_name =>

I have a problem declaring a relationship through a join_table ; the SQL generated by ActiveRecord is correct, but there are two columns called ''id'', and the final object gets the ''wrong'' column ... Here''s a more detailed description of the data, code, and problem :- There''s a People table, with id, name, and a few things. Also a

Hi, I am trying to perform a query with ActiveRecord that I want to put into a Rails application later. For now I just wrote it within a plain old Ruby script for easier testing. I am working with an existing database so I had to map some foreign keys myself. As you can see from the models below, the database has a structure of Prospectlists <=habtm=> Contacts <=habtm=> Accounts

hi, I found a bug in ActiveRecord association SQL INNER JOIN codes. in has_many, has_one, habtm and belongs_to queries the foreign key is determined from the table name of reflection and self. but that''s worng because if you use a global prefix or suffix for your tables the foreign keys will be in format of PREFIX_CLASSNAME_SUFFIX_id which is wrong, because it breaks the advantage of

I have a site where Users can become Friends with other Users. I used to do this with a habtm, but of course I want to stay up-to-date and convert this to a has_many :trough. Unfortunately I can''t get it to work.. the documentation on this feature is a bit sparse at the moment. This is my old habtm: has_and_belongs_to_many :friends, :join_table => ''user_friends'',

Hi, I''m having a little trouble figuring out how to make a self- referential HABTM bi-directional. I have a Employee class. Each employee can have a couple of bosses, who are also employees. The employee class has the following HABTM: has_and_belongs_to_many :bosses, :class_name => "Employee", :join_table => "bosses_courses", :association_foreign_key =>

Hi all I have members in my application, and every member can assign other members as buddies. class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # Hat folgende Buddies has_and_belongs_to_many :buddies, :class_name => ''Member'', :join_table => ''members_have_buddies'',

Hi I have collected some code for cross sell products on this website. CREATE TABLE products ( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, name varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ); INSERT INTO products VALUES (1, ''alpha''); INSERT INTO products VALUES (2, ''beta''); INSERT INTO products VALUES (3, ''gamma''); CREATE TABLE cross_sells ( product_id

Trying to model a bunch of users that have friends that are other users. clearly a job for has_and_belongs_to_many, but the trick is, they have ratings for their friends. I have gone through the Rails Recipes book, and it seems like I''m trying to combine the self-referential many-to-many recipe (12) and the many to many relationships where the relationship itself has data recipe (16). So

I have more or less the same problem. I''m trying to build a system where users can enter their friends. But the solutions seems not to work for me. I used same sql: CREATE TABLE `friends` ( `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', `friend_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', KEY `user_id` (`user_id`), KEY `friend_id` (`friend_id`),

Briefly, I want to create an :insert_sql attribute for a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and then add items to that relationship using push_with_attributes. Is that possible? Less briefly: I have a legacy postgresql database where one of the join tables has an ID column, so I had to set up the association with a custom :finder_sql attribute, as follows: class Topic <

(well, from me anyway. I promise) Trying to follow the "Self-referential Many-to-Many Relationships" recipe from the Rails Recipes book. This is what I''m doing: Tasks can have a predecessor relationship with each other. My Task class has this: has_and_belongs_to_many :predecessors, :class_name => "Task", :join_table => "predecessor",

Hi all, I''m working with a legacy sqlserver db and I''m trying to override the insert sql in as defined in the HABTM method below(becasue the join has three primary keys), but I''m getting the error: ''undefined local variable or method `record'' for Project:Class'' has_and_belongs_to_many :people, :class => ''Person'',

With the help of the Rails Recipes have got a self-referential HABTM relationship working, but I''m really struggling with getting a new entry from a form accepted. i should say here that the form is also submitting info for the join table too. So in my model I have: class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :subtypes, :class_name => ''Type'',

ok, guys i have followed the self referential recipe from the book it works perfect but now i have some doubts, at the end the model are modified to force the user beign added as a friend that add too who are adding him so how i can make that the full relationship doesn?t be complete until the friend beign added approves it(talking in the implementation of the code of course)? by the way,

I am having a problem with using SIngle Table Inheritance with a has_one relationship, and I am at a loss of what could be causing it. Below is the related code and the error message. class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :wishlist end class List < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end class Wishlist < List has_and_belongs_to_many :items, :class_name =>

I''m trying validate date before they''re stored into the DB, but it seems, validation doesn''t work.. my model looks like this: class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :contacts, :foreign_key =>''company_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, :join_table => ''company_to_category'', :foreign_key =>

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>
