I am having a problem with two models that each have a HABTM relationship to the other. For example: CREATE TABLE people (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE teams (id INT, name TEXT); CREATE TABLE people_teams (person_id INT, team_id INT); The person model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :teams And the team model has: has_and_belongs_to_many :people The trouble comes when trying to destroy

Hi, I just upgraded to rails 1.1 this morning and i am getting a variety of errors from tests that were passing effortlessly on the previous edge release (i froze several weeks ago, so I not sure what version that was). Has anyone else experienced these types errors with the new rails: I have several errors that are grouped around create and destroy commands the errors are similar, first the

Hi All, I am making a DAM (seems to be the hip thing to do these days). It is for the company that I work for. We have some really weird domain rules that have prevented me from just using a simple directory structure file permission system. I have come up with a solution but I wanted to run it by you gurus to ensure that I am not recompiling the wheel here. Basically the domain rule is: A user

I have a mysql database that I am trying to use migrations on.

Hello, I''m using Ruby 1.8.4 (darwinport), rails-1.0.0 (gem) , Powerbook / Mac OS X 10.4.5 , Webrick. How come Rails always raises NoMethodError for my helper (must_fill and rp or number_to_currency_rp) in application_helper.rb ? I doubt that alias_method is the culprit, but if i give # comment then there will be no errors at all ... :/ what am i doing wrong? is it a bug or stupid me? Thx

Am i a total idiot to try and parse out a rails object for javascript in this way? <% for i in interface_items[0].attributes %> var <%= i[0] %> = "<%=h( i[1] )%>" <% end %> Am I missing something really obvious?

I''m heading out of town, but had a quick thought I wanted to share. Rather then using ambiguous named request helpers in controller specs like "do_request", I''ve been using more readable helpers like "post_create". For example... describe ProjectController do def post_create post :create, ... end before do end it "creates a new

For a project that I am working on I need to have a family tree. This means that instead of having one parent each item has at most two. As far as I know acts_as_tree only allows one parent_id. Any suggestions on how to make a "acts_as_family_tree" ? Thanks, Mark -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Mark Daggett and I approve this message.

Hello Rubyists, I am a bit stumped here. I want to extend the ''load_file'' method in the YAML module. Following along with the PickAxe example of making old methods do new things, I try this in irb: >> module YAML >> alias_method :orig_load_f, :load_file >> def load_file(*args) >> contents = orig_load_f(*args) >>

i am making a category tree and i iterate over the category using my counter_cache however it would show a different number than what was actually being represetned in the tree. Here is an example cat.children = [cat2, cat3] puts cat.children.size 2 puts cat.children_count 2 cat4.parent_id = cat.id cat4.save puts cat.children.size

Is there such a thing that I could use to store sessions in the DB instead of in a cookie so that I can ensure users will be able to access their session data even across several load balancers? We use totally stateless machines here at work and I am worried about deploying a rails app in production that uses a volitile session stored on the machine. Any help is great! Happy Holidays, Mark --

Could someone explain this? #config/initializers/ar_attributes.rb module ActiveRecord module AttributeMethods alias_method :ar_read_attribute, :read_attribute def read_attribute(attr_name) p "read_override" ar_read_attribute(attr_name) end alias_method :ar_write_attribute, :write_attribute def write_attribute(attr_name, value)

In a model, it seems that methods for column access are only created when one column method on an object is accessed. So, how can one override the default column methods? For instance: create_table "dogs", :force => true do |t| t.column "color", :string end create_table "tails", :force => true do |t| t.column "dog_id", :integer,

Hi I am trying to create a plug-in to fix the error in the rails core produced by the multiple delete on a HABTM relationship.
