similar to: Problems with multiple ''id'' columns in a join_table

The number of stories I have is growing and I''m writing the following step long hand in each story. Given ''a user named'', ''Andy'', ''Watts'' do |first_name, family_name| @email = first_name + ''@test.lan'' create_user( :first_name => first_name, :family_name => family_name, :email => @email )

I have two ActiveRecord classes that point at each other with a "has_and_belongs_to_many" (habtm) relationship using a join table. The join table has an a few additional columns besides the _id columns. For those of you with the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails book, it''s exactly the same setup as the articles<->articles_users<->users example on p240. The habtm

I''m having the same problems as this fellow, Mr. Cheetham, in getting my rails app up and running on apache2+fcgid. Webrick runs, but dispatch.fcgi never actually runs, and apache spits out a grusome "Premature end of script headers: dispatch.cgi" error message in the log. Mr. Cheetham describes his problem at http://www.archivesat.com/Typo_blogging_engine/thread164398.htm I

In my tests, I use fixtures, eg pupils.yml might be: jimmy: id: 100003 known_as: Jimmy surname: Page academic_year_id: 1 gender: m In the test, @jimmy (the referencing style referred to in Agile Web Dev....) is nil, whereas pupil(:jimmy) returns the expected Pupil object. What gives? Robert

Hello list, I think I''ve found a bug in the way Rails is talking to my Postgres DB when recording HABTM data. My join_table looks like this: id serial primary key, tablea_id integer references tablea(id), tableb_id integer references tableb(id), other_attributes... When Rails writes to join_table, I''d expect it to do something like: INSERT INTO join_table (tablea_id,

Hi Chris, Yesterday you kindly submitted an answer to my question on modelling many to many relationships. I''ve briefly tried the proposed solution but so far with no luck. Before I get too involved - I''d like to know if mapping three way :join_tables is "legal" in a Rails sense. I only ask since you put (untested) in your mail and I can''t find any docs on

Hello, Is there a common way of stripping html tags from a string? Right now I''m just calling gsub!(/<.*?>/, ''''), but with a background in PHP and always having used its strip_tags() method, I wonder if the Rails community has standardized this fairly common task with something a bit less simpleminded than my quick fix. Thanks! Zack -------------- next part

Chris, Finally got time to fully play with your suggestions. Had to re-code a bit of stuff but the concept works - just like a bought one :~). Many thanks for the solution, Kind Regards, Eric. For those curious - here''s what it was about; On Monday 02 January 2006 02:10, Eric Sloane tried to type something like: > Hi, > I''m trying to figure the most efficient way to

Hi, I am trying to perform a query with ActiveRecord that I want to put into a Rails application later. For now I just wrote it within a plain old Ruby script for easier testing. I am working with an existing database so I had to map some foreign keys myself. As you can see from the models below, the database has a structure of Prospectlists <=habtm=> Contacts <=habtm=> Accounts

I need to have a table related to itself via a join table. Will HABTM support this? That is: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :recipes, :join_table => "recipes_recipes" end More importantly -- how does RoR support MULTIPLE self-joins? I.e., to relate the table to itself via multiple join tables. SFAIK, HABTM won''t support multiple

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

Hi I am looking for a Open Source RoR-based system for handling support issues for our customers. I needs to be simple so that the end user easily can add support issues. We also need to administer the issues (assign to developer/support person), schedule, and list issues (tickets). I have found SimpleTickets, which seems to be a good alternative, but I would like to know if any one else out

(well, from me anyway. I promise) Trying to follow the "Self-referential Many-to-Many Relationships" recipe from the Rails Recipes book. This is what I''m doing: Tasks can have a predecessor relationship with each other. My Task class has this: has_and_belongs_to_many :predecessors, :class_name => "Task", :join_table => "predecessor",

hi, I found a bug in ActiveRecord association SQL INNER JOIN codes. in has_many, has_one, habtm and belongs_to queries the foreign key is determined from the table name of reflection and self. but that''s worng because if you use a global prefix or suffix for your tables the foreign keys will be in format of PREFIX_CLASSNAME_SUFFIX_id which is wrong, because it breaks the advantage of

I''m trying to figure out what the software license would be for code (scaffolds, etc) generated by Rails. Basically, if I set up a Rails project, can or should I be able to claim copyright (and therefore have the ability to license under e.g. GPL) over the files generated by :- - The "rails" command that creates the initial tree of files - The output of "generate

I''m following along with the depot example in ''Agile Web Development'' and ran into a problem with Scaffold. I changed the MySQL table structure to add a few columns directly and also tried the migrate script to change the database after I got the initial scaffolding to work. However, I can''t seem to get the new columns to show up and am stumped as to how I can

Here''s a simplistic model class. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :relatives, :class_name => ''Person'', :join_table => ''relatives'', :foreign_key => ''from_id'', :association_foreign_key => ''to_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :brothers, :class_name =>

Imagine I want to track people, and the clubs that they belong to. table people with columns person_id, person_name table clubs with columns club_id, club_name And I have the association table: table clubs_people with columns person_id, club_id Now I know how to do this habtm between the two, in order to associate people with clubs that they belong to. However my application also needs a
