similar to: Inheritance in Rails - I need some help

I''m working on a simple CMS. The main data type are "listings" a listing habtm (has_and_belongs_to_many) categories and subcategories. Subcategories belong_to categories. Subcategories are basically the same as categories, but they are treated differently in a few situations. The problem is, I can''t seem to write the view/controller/model code that allows me to

hi, there :) Consider a blogging application whereby a user is trying to add a new blog. He/she has to select a category. Upon selecting a category from a drop down box, a new sub categories drop down box will be created (hence an AJAX call). Got this implemented and it''s ok. Now, let''s assume that a given blog can have multiple categories (and subcategories). For example, a

I have a model, listings. Listings habtm categories and subcategories, which are seperate models. What I want to do is search categories for certain items, like so: @categories = Category.find(:all, :conditions => ["name LIKE ?", "#%{:search_string}%" and subcategories for the same: @subcategories = Subcategory.find(:all, :conditions => ["name LIKE ?",

Hello, I am trying to make the "switchover" to programming my apps in Rails and have a question about database structure.

I''m trying to wrap my caffeine soaked brain around has_many :through following along at: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2005/12/23/teaching_your_blog_model_new_tricks_with_has_many_through I think my models are a little more complex than what fits this narrative. I have a directory of members, each member can belong to multiple categories. The category table references itself

I''m writing a simple CMS where every item ("listing") HABTM categories and subcategories (which themselves belong_to a category). What I''m trying to do now is create a UI effect for listing creation: when you go to create a listing, only the possible categories will be shown, but when you select a category a set of new categories will be displayed like so: Lions

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.

Hi all, Merry X''mas first :-) I have "Product","Category","Subcategory" 3 Model, and when new "Product", I want to use "Dynamic Select Menus" just like Ryan mentioned in http://railscasts.com/episodes/88-dynamic-select-menus I have everything down.

I''ve got a menu in which I have all of my categories as links. Each category also has subcategories. I want to set it up so when you mouse over the category the subcategories will pop up (to the right of the main list, but that''s just CSS). This is what I have so far: <% for category in @categories %> <a href="#"

Hi, I have two models: category and subcategory. (one to many relationship), and a controller ''home'' I''d like to display all the categories and their sub categories in the view: home\index.rhtml. I have a method in the ''home'' controller'' like this: def list_categories @categories = Category.find(:all) end This list all the categories

I have a model, categories, and another model, subcategories. In my current code these have no connection except for the fact that categories has_many subcategories and a subcategory belongs_to a category. But by necessity, I need to change it so Subcategory extends Category; so that I can search both models with one command. I was hoping it would be as simple as changing Subcategory <

Hi, I am creating a form that a user can post a message based on his selection on category and subcategory. (A category has many subcategories.) How do I dynamically populate subcategory dropdown list when user chooses a category from category dropdown list? Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Ming Ma

This hopefully is trivial. I am trying to reshape the data using the reshape package. First I read in the data: a2009 <- read.csv("Total2009.dat", header = TRUE) Then I trim it so that it only contains the columns that I have interested in: m2009 <- melt(a2009, id.var=c("DayOfYear","Category","SubCategory","Sku"),

Hi, i was looking through the docs and couldn''t find a good clean solution for ordering a partial with an :order clause. say i was iterating over categories and thier corresponding sub-categories (regular belongs to) and wanted to order the subcategories according to a certain column; <% for category in @categories %> <% render: partial => ''sublist'',

Hi there, I try to develop a medical application using ruby on rails. There are many categories which can contain subcategories. I defined the model like this: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :notes belongs_to :parent_category, :class_name=>"Category", :foreign_key=>"category_id" has_many :sub_categories,

My database is set up as Categories > Things associated by category_id and has_many and belongs_to. How would I go about listing all the categories and under each Category is it''s children? Is there an easy rails way to do this - preferably without using acts as tree? Any help is appreciated - thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have mange to use the library reshape to give me data structures that I want. Specifically: m2008 <- melt(t2008, id.var=c("DayOfYear","Category","SubCategory","Sku"), measure.var=c("Quantity")) m2007 <- melt(t2007, id.var=c("DayOfYear","Category","SubCategory","Sku"),

Hello, I''m trying to create categories that have their own subcategories, and each subcategory may have its own subcategories, .. and so on. After some reading, I found out that the best way for creating such a thing is to use acts_as_tree, but I didn''t find any tutorial or article that explain this in a clear way. After a lot of work I was finally able to create categories and
