hey all. I''m trying to set up a many-to-many relationship with products and categories. I''ve got the product model (product.rb) set up: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end and a similar one for category.rb And I''ve got the tables set up -- products, categories, categories_products But when I load, I get: undefined method

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

I''m new in Rails, and I''m building my first application. I''m trying to make a FAQ for this application, organized by product (questions about each product) and category (questions of different categories or topics), and there is something I can''t figure it out how to do.

Hi there, I''ve tried to add a m:n mapping table using the migration mechanism. ruby script\generate migration add_categories_notes_mapping and filled the migration file with: class AddNotesCategoriesMapping < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :categories_notes do |t| t.column :category_id, :integer, :null=>false t.column :note_id, :integer,

Found the issue. In the association table (categories.products) it is very important to use lowercase column names. I.e, product_id and category_id. I had Product_id and Category_id in SQL....

i think there ara two ways of relate products and categories , basically i want to fix one product(e.g hp dv7....) to some categories (notebook,17"notebooks...) i made a table named categorization(incuding category_id,product_id fields) then in models i write these codes below class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :categories, :through => :categorizations

I have a database with a field called ''category''. ''category'' contains the categories separated by a "," i.e. 1, 2, 5 I know with something like: @products = Product.find(:all, :condition => "category = ''1''") I could get some results if any of the ''category'' fields only contained "1" but

Hello, I have the usual Categories and Products table scenario, mediated by a Categories_Products join table. When I create a new Product and into a given Category, I notice that my join table is not being populated. Shouldn''t the join Categories_Products table be populated?

Hello, Say, I have a pictures table, and there are many objects which can have pictures, so I define a picturable type. Now, to make the query for pictures more efficient I should index the picture table using both picturable_type and picturable_id. Is this the correct approach to indexing the table, or can things be done better? I want the database retrieval operation to be extremely fast (I

I have two tables ("products" and "categories") that have a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and I need to be able to arbitrarily sort products in the scope of a category using something like acts_as_list. Problem is, since each product can belong to multiple categories, it doesn''t work to use acts_as_list and have the "position" field be in the

I really hope this is not a bad question (as in he''s abusing the list). However I could use a little direction (even though I''m reading books, tutorials) Right now I''m getting a undefined method `category'' for 4:Fixnum The specific lines from the rhtml file are: <td><%= link_to position.category_id.category, :action => "show", :id =>

I''m working on a simple CMS. The main data type are "listings" a listing habtm (has_and_belongs_to_many) categories and subcategories. Subcategories belong_to categories. Subcategories are basically the same as categories, but they are treated differently in a few situations. The problem is, I can''t seem to write the view/controller/model code that allows me to

My goal is have one rake task called "deploy_demo" which purges the database, migrates to the current schema, and loads the db from a set of fixture files in a specified location.

Hi I''m new to Rails. This is my first application and I''m trying to set up a schema I''ve hand-crafted as a migration.

I was brainstorming today about a smooth way to define conditions in an sql query, when the numbers of attributes increase, so does the uglyness. So instead of passing a hash, I thought you could specify the conditions directly in code. I hacked together some example code which actually turned out to work. The result is concise and pretty beutiful. def search(params) Ad.find(:all) do

I have a form that sends the following query string to my Rails controller: transaxion[category_association_attributes][][category_id]=2& transaxion[category_association_attributes][][amount]=12& transaxion[category_association_attributes][][category_id]=1& transaxion[category_association_attributes][][amount]=8 But ActionController parses it as:
