similar to: Problem with STI and validation

Struggling a little with getting the syntax right for a STI model. Prob just being a bit dense. Couple of questions I''m hoping you guys can answer: Assume here I''ve got: class Person class Manager < Person class Slave < Person 1) How does person[:type] differ from person.type when type is the column used to specify the subclass. They seem to output the same

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories. Would I then setup Item with has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, then create a table categories_items ??? Is there a better way to do it?

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 started using robotcoop''s CachedModel class in my project but have encountered problems when using it with the acts_as_ferret plugin. It seems it doesn''t index everything in my STI model, also if I do a search from my base STI class I get a result count but no results. If I run the same search from one of the children STI models I get the appropriate results (if the information

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

I''m currently coding a system which must store multiple contact methods for a user (phone, email, postal address etc). I''m planning a fairly straightforward inheritance hierachy for these, where each different method inherits from something like a ContactMethod class. The only mention of ActiveRecord support for inheritance I can find in the Wiki and the Agile Web Dev book is

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models. I could use STI, but I think the table would just have too many columns. Now, I wanted to let the Dog''s, Whale''s

Hi everyone! I have a question: what is the preferred way (in terms of simplicity) to test models with single table inheritance. Right now I have 1 test case and 1 fixture for all of the STI models, but it''s very hard to maintain it (too many tests and records in fixture). It would be better if fixtures could be named separately from DB tables. I know, Engines plugin has

I have some classes in my model which use STI and they work as expected in the console. However, when I try to use them in a migration, I get "uninitialized constant OfficePhone", for example. Why doesn''t the migration environment pick up the class defs? OfficePhone is defined in the model/phone.rb. I put model :phone in the application.rb but my migration just

Hello everyone, I am racking my brain with a modelling question and can''t wrap my around the benefits of STI or Polymorphisms.

Hi, I have an application using STI on a model named Publisher. Publisher uses STI via a column named "service". When I call -- p = Publisher.new(..., :service => "TwitterPublisher") -- the service does not get assigned, yet all other columns do. However, if I later call -- p[:service] = "TwitterPublisher" -- all is well. Any ideas about what is going on? My

Having problems with STI. Names below have been changed to protect the innocent. Imagine a system that allows someone to apply for one of two different types of school scholarships. Each scholarship goes through a different review process, represented by a state machine (this is not a state machine question). So there are two state machine classes that differ slightly and subclass a generic

Can acts_as_ferret search only one of the inherit models in the hierarchy of STI models? Say you have Contents, with types articles and comments. I know that you do Contents.find_by_contents, but can you also create indexed for Comment and Articles? Thanks for you help Miguel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Guys, I have a relationship between model classes that I believe is best represented by inheritance, but the likelihood that things will change often is driving us to composition instead. So, I have a class called Autos, and subclasses called Suvs, Minis, Mids, Sports, for example. We have been requested to avoid the STI approach to this, because of fear of a quickly growing table with

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method
