I have a project I''m trying to decide if I want to use rails for. I''m new to rails, so I''m not sure how easy it would be to implement something like this using ActiveRecord. Here''s the situation: Category > subcategory > subcategory > product Category > subcategory > product Some categories will have many subcategories, others few. I want

The recent refactoring didn't work properly for new smart pools, so I've cleaned jup the parameter handling for the various pool 'create' actions.

Hi Railers, I''ve got a Categories table. I want it to act as a list within the scope of the parent_id AND the site_id. Categories table : id label site_id parent_id So, in my Category class, I have : acts_as_list :scope => ''site_id = #{site_id} AND parent_id = # {parent_id}'' The problem is that when I try to move_up a Category with a parent_id that is null,

Don't assume every disk <Item> has a <Parent> field. For floppy disks this is not the case.

I just switched from using the standard "id" column into using my own primary key and generating my own unique id for each record. But, this breaks acts_as_tree. Because my new primary key is not an integer, it breaks the SQL query as follows: StatementInvalid in PagesController#create --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need an ordered (sortable tree) and I just was thinking if somehting like this is possible: class Item< ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "position" acts_as_list :scope => ''parent_id = #{self.id}'' end For my understanding mixing of two acts_as should be p?ssible, at least in this case, right? Unfortunatly the :scope is not working, I am not

Hi, I''m using the latest gem version of rails under MacOS Tiger. I was trying to use acts_as_tree as described in the rails book. So I have something like: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "title" end create table categories ( id int not null auto_increment, title

I am working on an Rails application that uses a pretty complex category structure through out the site. I have defined a table to house all the info and a FK to reference parents within the table CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL, parent_id int(11) default NULL, constraint fk_category_id foreign key (category_id) references

I am trying to create a record with association. Within the create method, I would also like to pre-populate dependent (has_many) records from a template in the database. The child records are <u>mysteriously rolled back </u> if I insert them in a loop. If I try to insert a single child record, it works.I have read the books and tried to google my way out of this but am at a dead

Hello, I am just starting off with Rails, so I apologize in advance if there is a terribly obvious answer to my problem. I''ve done some searching and found similar problems to my own, but nothing which yielded a solution. I have a handful of models that I am unit testing. The tests for each unit run successfully, but when I do a rake test, many of the tests fail. The assertions that

I''ve been stumbling on the tut at oriontransfer (http://wiki.oriontransfer.co.nz/main/show/SortableTree) I''ve got it working in a one dimensional list and I''ve got the drag and drop working on children, but as can''t get it to save the tree. Here''s my view: <h2>Menu Prototype 2</h2> <%= flash[:notice] %> <ul

Hello everybody I have a model with better_nested_set. In my "new" form, i pass the desired parent_id as a hidden field, and in the create action at the controller i save the new register and use move_to_child_of Model (params[item][parent_id]) Everything works, but at my log file it warns that i can''t mass asign the property "parent_id". What can i do to avoid the

Guys, I''m having a problem getting acts_as_tree working. It seems from the Agile book (p. 255) that acts_as_tree only supports one-to-one record relations, whereas I need many-to-many support. In other words, looking at the picture at the top of page 256 where where only 1 id is linked to 1 parent_id, I need multiple id''s linked to multiple parent_id''s - for

I am creating a database for movies (films) and television shows (shows) that will have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships with the pictures table. CREATE TABLE screenshots ( id serial NOT NULL, filename character varying NOT NULL, content_type character varying NOT NULL, primary key (id) ); CREATE TABLE films ( id serial NOT NULL, name character varying NOT NULL,

Please help, I am really at a loss at how validation is supposed to work in rails. Model contains acts_as_tree I want to force my NEW objects to have a parent I do NOT want existing object to have a parent so I only want to have parent_id on create, NOT on update. I am trying this: def validate_on_create validates_presence_of :parent_id, :message => "You must specify a

I''m just getting used to using HABTM structures. Something I''m trying to do now is create a site that has "sections" each section then could have a sub "section". So I built a "sections" table and in the model I included the line "has_and_belongs_to_many :sections" I also made a table called "sections_sections" to build the

Hi I''m pretty much a newbie to Rails and I have at least two projects under development that are going to need the same type of constructs and I''m struggling to get my head around how to achieve what I want using Rails models and relationships. In one project I have a hierarchy of (geographical) sites. For example: Earth Europe Ireland Cork Kerry Galway

hi, I''ve got the following tables in mysql notation: CREATE TABLE `nodes` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `parent_id` int(11) default ''0'', `group_id` int(11) default ''0'', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), ); CREATE TABLE `groups` ( `parent_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ''0'', `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

Basically, I''m trying to have a table called "categories" have a many to many relationship with itself. But I also want each catagory to be able to be "copied" into another category so it is essentially a child category to more than one parent. To me the obvious way of doing this is by creating another table called category_maps (and a model called CategoryMap).
