Hello folks- In one particular app, it would be useful for the customers to be able to specify the significance (and presence) of fields. For example, consider a CONTACTs database. User 1 wants to have phone1, phone2, phone3, and User 2 wants to have 4 address fields. Generically, this could be done by having a CONTACT with, say, 10 strings, 10 integers, etc. The user''s account

Hello All, We use a different custom form builder for our app, but I wanted to use facebooker''s typeahead widget in side the other form builder. I don''t know much about form builders, but I created a file in lib/ doing this: http://pastie.caboo.se/178776 It works great, except that the id''s and class names get messed up. Instead of school_name, I get

I am doig something very simple here and this is not working correctly. So any help is greatly appreciated. I ahve this code in my template: <% form_for :company_branch, @company_branch, :html => {:id => "company_branch_form"} do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :street1 %> <%= f.text_field :street2 %> <% end %> <%= observe_form("company_branch_form",

Hi, I''m having a weird validation issue. Validation isn''t working for certain attributes and, for some reason, it''s also affecting things outside of validation. For campers on certain camp types, we require some information about their school. I tried to validate the information this way: validates_presence_of :school_type, :if => Proc.new { |c| !c.booking.nil?

Hi All I was wondering if I can avoid a time-consuming for loop on my 600000 obs dataset. school_id y 8 9.87 8 8.89 8 7.89 8 8.88 20 6.78 20 9.99 20 8.79 31 10.1 31 11 There are, say, 143 different schools in this 600000 obs dataset. I need to thave sequential identifiers, 1,2,3,4,5,...,143. I was using an

Hi there, I love the acts_as_* family that rails uses. I''ve also found I can create something similar by dropping the following code into my activerecord classes: class MyClass < ActiveRecord::Base class << self alias_method :count_with_unapproved, :count end def self.find(*args) options = extract_options_from_args!(args) if options[:conditions].nil? options[:conditions] =

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 am relatively new to rails and I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am using the composed_of method in an ActiveRecord class to create two aggregate properties: shipping_address and billing_address. The object properties are getting populated from the form and validation is working - no problem. When I call order.save, though, everything is being saved except the address fields. I am not

Every once in a while, I pipe up and whine that "belongs_to" should really be ''refers_to" [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2130]. It''s time again. I''ve got a bunch of stuff going onto eBay, so, like any good engineer, I don''t just post it manually: I design a Rails-based inventory database that creates a semantically-correct XHTML/CSS auction

Perhaps this is intentional, but it seems unlikely: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :school end p = Person.find(:first) p.school # nil p.school_id = School.find_by_name(''High School'').id p.school.name # High School p.school_id = School.find_by_name(''Primary School'').id p.school.name # High School <= Shouldn''t this be Primary

Hi There, I''m trying to user fields_for inside a form_tag, but i can''t catch it on my controller. I just take some html code off to makes it easy to read my view... i''m using campuses_path(current_church, @campus) instead form_for @campus, because my route is like resources :campuses, :path => ":church/campuses" <%= form_tag

I am doing some very very basic unit testing. If I take away the uniqueness validation, the tests pass.

I have a weird problem going on. All of sudden, records for a certain model will not save with #save Please take a look at this: >> p = Payment.new(:payment_reason_id => 1, :payment_method_id => 1, :date => Date.today, :amount => ''5.00'', :payable => Student.find(608)) => #<Payment id: nil, school_id: nil, payment_reason_id: 1, payment_method_id: 1,

I''ve read the stuff about polymorphic associations here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/UnderstandingPolymorphicAssociations But I''m not sure what exactly they are and what their advantage is. Are they the same as HABTM, but they''re "two-way"? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am running into a problem with two of my tables and the "uninitialized constant" error when using migration. I get the "uninitialized constant Note" when running the following code in my migration file: create_table :notes do |t| t.column :id, :integer t.column :noteshare_id, :integer t.column :title, :string t.column :covered, :string

Hi, My saves are failing me and I can''t figure out why. I am trying to save an address id to a user object just after I create the address. This isn''t the exact code, but it shows what I am trying to do. class AddressesController < ApplicationController def create @address = Address.new(params[:address]) saved_address = @address.save @user =

hello.. i am currently trying to use :through to attach two of my models together using geokit. for some reason, i am running into a problem: ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): as i have two models, one that is geocoded, and one that belongs to that model. the models look like: ,----[ employer.rb ] | class Employer < ActiveRecord::Base | acts_as_mappable | before_validation_on_create

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this. This is more towards the database design for the scenario below: Say for example, I have a person table and this person can have different address types. One could be Home and the other could be say Office. Should be model this Table people id fname lname Table addresses id person_id addr1 addr2 .... or Table people id fname lname

undefined method `each'' for 0:Fixnum at line @school = School.find_by_title(params[:school_id].gsub(''-'', " ")) for team in @school.teams ........ end @school does exist cause i tried with .find(:first) and it gave the same error. Also I''m getting undefined method `reject'' for #<Game:0x24ca1c4> From @home.game_ids = @game
