similar to: ActiveRecord - Multiple Address for a single record

I am trying to get polymorphic relations to work for my app. What I am trying to do is explained by this picture http://iroll.org/code/ I can''t figure out the code for in the controller to create a new phone_number and assign it to a person. I have tried everything I can think of. A) do my models look correct? B) what would the commands look like in the console or a controller action

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

I may be totally wrong about what the fields_for method is supposed to do, but for some reason I thought using it scoped an object around an association. For example, I have a User class and when you''re creating a new user I want to use fields_for to add a BillingAddress to the user like so: <%- fields_for :billing_address do |billing_address_form| -%> <%= render :partial

Hello, I have a question for you. In my application, I want to make sure that the database doesn''t have any NULLs in fields. I can''t use validates_presence_of, because it will puke if there''s an empty string ("") So... is there an EASY way to check if a list of fields is null? Right now, I''m doing: def validate() [...]

hello it seems like this question has appeared a few times with no answer: how do you get rails to issue ''write'' statements (ie ''CREATE/UPDATE'') to the database without committing each time? I tried setting ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction before calling any action on my object, but as soon as myObject.save or myObject.update is called,

I have the following models: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :billing_address belongs_to :shipping_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :billing_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :shipping_address, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes[''has_shipping_address''] != ''1'' } def after_initialize self.build_billing_address

I would like to have a customer that has references to two addresses, a billing address and a shipping address. In a non-rails environment I would have two keys in the customers table, billing_address_id and shipping_address_id to reference the addresses. It appears that ActiveRecord expects the parent id to reside in the child table, regardless of whether the relationship is one-to-one or

I''m wondering whether I''m wasting my time trying to verify that an addition I''ve made to legacy code is in fact setting a new attribute on a model. Substruct''s (http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct) OrderHelper contains this method: 1 def create_order_from_post 2 @use_separate_shipping_address = params[:use_separate_shipping_address]

Hi, I use ruby console to experiment acts_as_ferret, but I ran into file rename error when I try to rebuild index after doing a search. is this normal? I am using Ferret 0.10.9 in windows XP. Loading development environment. >> Address.rebuild_index => {} >> Address.find_by_contents(''US'') => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x4f2ffcc @total_hits=2,

Hello, I posted a similar email, earlier in the week, but I still must not be getting it. I have a customer that aggregates two addresses; a shipping address and a billing address. Addresses can also be referenced by other objects in a similar way, so I would really like to avoid putting the keys referencing the customer or other objects in the addresses table. Addresses are exclusively

i''m doing a site for someone that has a form set up to collect contact information from the user. i installed the vpim gem and was hoping to give my client a way to download all of the contact''s information as a vcard. using the examples, i was able to get it working in ruby, but i''m not quite sure how to generate and download a vcard on the fly. has anyone done

I''ve been searching the web, wikis, and more, and I haven''t turned up examples of how to have multiple entities in a single-table inheritance related to anything. I have an addresses table, but multiple entities can have Addresses: both Person (which has 2 addresses) and Retailer. I''ve been told that I need to use single-table inheritance, and this was my attempt:

Running into an interesting problem that at first glance appears to be a bug in the AR association code. However, it''s explicitly coded this way so I''m not so sure. I have some code like this: class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :addressable, :polymorphic => true end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses, :as => :addressable,

Hi Everyone, Ran into an interesting case last night, and I was hoping that someone on the list here could give me some guidance. I''ve got a Polymorphic association for Addresses (which can belong to two different models). The catch is, one model requires a strict, precise address, and the other only requires a City, State and Postal Code. I want to use :validates_presence_of :street,

I am trying to make a simple application which consists of contacts and their addresses. class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses end class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :contact end I would like to be able to edit/add addresses from within the edit/add of the contact. I scaffolded the contact and address objects and modified the contacts/_form partial as

One more question: Is there some way to set the human_name of a column? e.g.: human_name for column address1 shouldn''t be Address1 but "Address, line 1". If not, should I make a hash with my custom names?

Hi, I am getting a number of segmentation faults using Ferret 0.9.5, Fedora Core 5 and Ruby 1.8.4 I installed it with the recommended gem install ferret and example segmentation fault creation line would be as follows: @records = FerretConfig::INDEX.search("address_line_2:\"Dumbarton\"") I am also using acts_as_ferret and rails 1.15 but think this is an issue with

I''m working on a small project with a friend, and one of the things we needed to do was send off an email whenever someone signs up an account. His implementation was pretty simple - throw a deliver_welcome call inside the controller after the signup. I''m sure that this is a pretty common thing to do. The problem, in my mind, was that the app now became tied to two places -

I am not sure if this is a bug in ActiveRecord or is this the intended behavior. If it is then it does not make sense to me. In a nutshell: If you change an aggregate object attribute created via composed_of method (see Agile Web Development - Second Edition Chapter 17 page 313 onwards) and then save the model, the change to the model (composite attribute specifically) will not be saved UNLESS

The Rails API doc (api.rubyonrails.org) says that :autosave is still a valid option for belongs_to in the latest version of Rails. However, a look at the activerecord/lib/active_record/associations.rb (line 1590) reveals that it is not in the @@valid_keys_for_belongs_to_association array. I also noticed that it''s not in the ActiveRecord API doc (ar.rubyonrails.org). Does anyone have any
