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

I''m a newbie and loving rails but I''m stuck. All I want to do is to be able to show in my "list.rhtml" view the information between two tables who both have a HABTM relationship. So this is what I have as follows. -------------------------- TABLES -------------------------- # Projects create_table "projects", :force => true do |t| t.column

If I have a class, Asset, which has and belongs to many associated Asset objects, how do I do this? has_and_belongs_to_many :associated_assets, :class => "Asset", :foreign_key => ?????, :association_foreign_key => ????? Right now, my table has a :first_asset_id and a :second_asset_id, but I don''t see how the objects themselves are supposed to distinguish one from the

hi all, i''m new to this group and currently using Rails 3.0.3 and meta_where 0.9.10. i''m considering how to make a full-text searching feature to my project, and my models, for example, should be defined like below: class Group < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users # :title (string) end class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users

Hi, I am trying to restrict duplicate has_and_belongs_to_many associations. I tried to find support for a association validation for duplicates but couldn''t find anything. I understand I could use :uniq=>true on the model association but this would only prevent it from displaying duplicates, I want to stop duplicate associations being inserted in the first place. I have a vague

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

Hello all, I have an Order object that has and belongs to many Products and has and belongs to many Loan Types. This is so I can select multiples of each in my order entry screen via checkbox groups. I''m having some trouble with saving multiple HABTM associations for a single model object; only the first HABTM association declared in the model will save during the initial @order.save

Hi Chris, Yesterday you kindly submitted an answer to my question on modelling many to many relationships. I''ve briefly tried the proposed solution but so far with no luck. Before I get too involved - I''d like to know if mapping three way :join_tables is "legal" in a Rails sense. I only ask since you put (untested) in your mail and I can''t find any docs on

Hello all, I''m trying to create a HABTM checkbox action that adds/updates ''users'' to a ''project''.

Hello, Is it possible to have several HABTM-relationships for the same object? Example: Imagine I have 3 objects (classroom, student, teacher) and define the associations for the student as: class Student < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :classrooms has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers class Classroom < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :students class Teacher <

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 <

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

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
