This has me scratching my head: a Person has many Things a Person has many Collections a Collection has many Things ...Things in a Collection are ordered ...Things in a Collection can be related to (created by) any User ...a collection has additional attributes, such as a name etc I am confused about habtm in rails (especially when using acts_as_habtm_list) vs. going the :through route.

Hi, I posted yesterday asking how to get form tags to reference the associated objects in a habtm relationship. I was hoping for Rails Magic, but it looks like Rails doesn''t have habtm magic beyond a certain point. Here was my solution for others who might have the problem. Also, I hope someone shows me that there is a simpler way. The Database Model: class Registration <

Taking time off from programming is always painful :-). I have the following Models: ==== class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :problems end class Problem < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user has_and_belongs_to_many :tags end ==== And the following migrations: ==== create_table "problems" do |t| t.column "user_id", :integer

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

Hi, our app is a situation where users can upload files and also mark files uploaded by other users as their favorites. So for the favorites we are using a simple many-to-many with a tie table. So in attempting that it looks like class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :media_file has_many :media_file end class MediaFile < ActiveRecord::Base

I''m a rails newb and have been Googling about this, but I''m still stumped. Not showing everything here, but basically it should be a pretty common setup so I''m sure others know what I''m doing wrong. - A meter can belong to many meter_groups - A meter_group can have many meters. - A user can ''subscribe'' to viewing a meter_group (Subscription)

Hello, I have a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship that I''ve realized I need to add additional attributes to. So I''m converting it to a has_many :through (HMT) relationship. This is the first time I''ve used an HMT, and it seems like I''m using too much code. I couldn''t figure out how to get the join model objects to update automatically as a result of

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

Does the new has_many :through and belongs_to :through obsolete (well, replace and essentially deprecate) has_and_belongs_to_many? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello all This is my first post so excuse the basic question. (and any repeats I just got an email saying this post was too big so I have re-submitted a smaller version) I was following the thread on http://lists.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-May/038988.html regarding the STI on HABTM for RoR. I have a very similar problem and was hoping for some help. I have the

I have two tables ("products" and "categories") that have a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and I need to be able to arbitrarily sort products in the scope of a category using something like acts_as_list. Problem is, since each product can belong to multiple categories, it doesn''t work to use acts_as_list and have the "position" field be in the

Hi, I''m currently stuck with a problem I just can''t find a clever solution for. I checked every tutorial, issuetracker, API reference I could find but found nothing to "enlighten" me --> I desperately need your help :-). My Question is: is it possible to use nested forms for habtm associations? --> Here some more info about what I wanted to do and what failed

I have a large certifications table that I would like to have a little more controll over, it is part of a HABTM relationship. ----------------------------------- db''s (simplified) >certifications id course >employees id department_id type_id name >departments id name >types id kind >certifications_employees certification_id employee_id

I''m terribly new to Rails, so bear with me. I have an application I am working on which deals with projects and subcontractors. There can be several subs on each project and each sub can work on several projects. I have my join table set up and has_and_belongs_to_many in both models. If I manually put data in the join table, this works in my show view: <% for subcontractor in

Hi everyone, I have the following problem, maybe someone can help me figure out what to do. To simplify my situation, I''m going to make an example of what I need, this is not the real app structure. Let''s suppose we have three models, Library, Author, Book. Manager has_and_belongs_to_many :area_managers AreaManager has_and_belongs_to_many :managers has_many :employees

So I have 2 models: Picture and Comment. Pictures have many Comments, but I''d like for users to be able to post Pictures in Comments, so Comments will have one Picture (possibly). This creates a kind of circular relationship it looks like, and the only way I could think of to implement this is with has_and_belongs_to_many. Am I right, or is there a better way to do this?

the below... class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :teams class Team < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users has_one :captain, :class_name => ''User'' produces the error...

Hi. I have a couple of best practices questions regarding polymorphic associations, naming join tables and user permissions. Currently I have implemented the user authentication model from the rails recipes book. Basically it goes something like this: MODEL CLASSES: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base

Hi, I am trying to restrict duplicate has_and_belongs_to_many associations. I tried to find support for a association validation for duplicates but couldn''t find anything. I understand I could use :uniq=>true on the model association but this would only prevent it from displaying duplicates, I want to stop duplicate associations being inserted in the first place. I have a vague

Hi, I am trying to learn to use RoR by making a simple social networking example. Given a user id, I am trying to make a query that finds all of the group that user belongs to but also rank the groups by one of the groups'' parameter like group.size.
