similar to: update only the join table in a HABTM - how?

Hello, this is my second Rails app, and the first one I did had simple data mapping. This time I am building a site for a photographer, and they want to upload photos, and create galleries that only certain clients can log in and have access to. There will be multiple galleries, and the access to them will vary depending on how the admin assigns it to each client. There is also a porftolio

Hi everybody I am totally new to rails and I am trying to start a tiny project to get familiar with rails. But I already got my first problem and I would be happy if somebody could point me in the best and cleanest direction. I am trying to develop a small gallery app. Since I would like to add more features in future I am trying to design a clean OO architecture of my models: The base object

So I have this structure. class Gallery < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :owner, :polymorphic => true has_many :folders, :order => ''slug'', :dependent => :destroy class Folder < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :photos, :dependent => :destroy, :conditions => "parent_id IS NULL" belongs_to :gallery class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_one

Apologies first, because I need to ramp up on Ruby and coding Ruby in Rails, however it''s my 3rd day with this beast :) so I''m asking : When I added protected methods to the model before it was like: protected method.................... end Would this be a valid way to write a protected method as well ?: attr_protected :column1, :column2 Perhaps this particular call

Hi List, I have a table that contains several fields that must be initialized when first created, but may not be altered afterwards (when updating the other fields) because they can be changed by external processes. I noticed that the ActiveRecord update commands (even update_attribute) only seem to work by loading the complete record, changing fields that need to be changed and doing a full

One of my models has a column that is updated very frequently from a separate process, so it is important that when a record is saved in rails, this column should be left alone. In the update method of the controller I have: @record = MyModel.find(params[:id]) @record.update_attributes(params[:my_model]) params[:my_model] doesn''t have a reference to the column I''m talking

I''ve been puzzling over how to test that attr_accessible has been set for the correct columns; but the tests I''ve come up with so far seem to fail to fail when I expect. I came across this old message from this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg01570.html Which seemed like a plausible example, but my attempt (modeled on the example)

Maybe I am grasping the full usage of this protect_from_forgery function, but it does not seem to work for me. Imagine the following: A simple website with a user that needs to log in to do certain stuff and a closed off admin section that only certain users can access that have the is_admin field set to true. So to be clear, my User model has a login, password and is_admin. When displaying the

I have a dataset showing points, with a category for each point and its location. I simply want to display my points, in a way that users can toggle the points on and off by category. Where I have two objects in the same category I'd like to display them nudged to appear as two distinct, but very close points. I have made reproduceable example (the places are not real), which is loosely

Hi, I''m looking to create a gallery index page of thumbnail images which point to their associated images galleries. Also, I would like to organize the images from left to right and top to bottom. Furthermore, I would like to limit the number of thumbnail images on the page. I guess that I''m needing some type of horizontal looping interface for both the thumbnail index page

Hi everyone, i have 20 fields in users table. in my admin profile module the admin can modify his infomation. but only 12 fields he can able to modify. so in my controller if params[ :profileinfo ][:first_name] @profileinfo.update_attribute(:first_name,params[ :profileinfo ][:first_name]) end the above simply saves what i enter into the field.why it doesnot consider the modelvalidation.

I used a scaffold to create an interface. I''m trying to style it and I''m having trouble. In my css I have: #content a, a:link, a:visited{ color: #ff8400; } #content a:hover{ background: #ff8400; color: #FFFFFF; } #content a.urgent, a.urgent:link, a.urgent:visited { color: #FF0000; } #content a.urgent:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background: #FF0000; } #content input.m_title{

Hi all, I'm looking for a web photo gallery for my personal web server at home. Till now I've done the galleries manually from Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I feel that is a dead end, kinda', besides the fact that the galleries created are rather static. I'd like an easier way to do this, eg uploading images in folders directly to the gallery and it will take care of what needs to

hello, i am writing a simple user login system. when registering a user account, i have two field: password password_confirmation which are validated using validates_presence_of validates_confirmation_of and these are then used to generate a password hash which is stored in my database when i want to update the record (without changing the password and entering new values for password and

I have a little image gallery application in rails enough for small galleries (20< photos). But as images increase and the user needs to scroll down the page it starts getting anoying to see all pictures... I thought pagination but then I saw this AJAX goodness http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/ As you can see the videos scroll right/left when the arrows are pressed in a circular manner

Hi all I have the following models: class member has_and_belongs_to_many :disc_jockeys end class disc_jockey has_and_belongs_to_many :members end The relation table is called disc_jockeys_members and has the following fields: disc_jockeys_members(disc_jockey_id, member_id, status) So far, the field status can have values like valid, invalid, locked etc., but it is not regarded yet by

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

Is anyone out there writing specs to check attr_accessible fields? I had originally written my spec to check for allowing the desired fields, and then none of the other regular db fields. Unfortunately this isn''t satisfactory, because attr_protected could have been used instead, which of course wouldn''t prevent mass assignment to any whatever=(val) method. I''m thinking

I have a problem related with the HABTM relationships with checkboxes. I''ve got a profile and a service model, both related with has_and_belongs_to_many. The problem is that i can insert new data in the profiles_services table, however, i cant delete already existing data. What could be the problem? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

Hi all I''m trying to create a rake task for the first time, so please be a bit patient with me. ;-) I''m coding a photo gallery. Every photo gallery''s photos are in its own folder, and after an update I''d like to be able to synchronize the photo files with the database (because every photo has its own Photo class object). I''ve got so far: # File
