This is a bit of a long question, but to those of you with some experience, it should be fairly simple I think. I have a notes page that should list all notes the user has entered for all books chronologically like this. Book One: This is the note. Book Four: This is the note. Book One: A different note, entered later. Right now my models are: User has_many :books Book has_many

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

My problem: Mock ''Task_1005'' received unexpected message :user_id= with (1) No matter what I do to try to stub that out it will still fail out and give me that message.

I''d like to always add a condition to any version of "find" (e.g. Thing.find(), Thing.find_by_name(), Thing.find_by_whatever) so that in addition to whatever conditions are set, an additional condition is set :conditions=>"user_id=#{current_user.id}" I''d like to make sure that a user only sees/edits/creates entries in the database that have the user_id

I have the ability to send email to a user if a certain user has requested interest in their product. In my email I want to include certain information that is pulled from users but at the moment I am getting errors because it states that they are undefined despite these lines being used elsewhere in my application. I shall copy the email below and anything between the <% %> is what I wish

Hi, Another noob here I am afraid! I have a questuin about the current_user method that comes with AAA. I have AAA set up and working fine and if i put <%= self.current_user.login %> into a view it shows the login name as expected on the page. What I cant work out is how to record this into the database when the user completes a form. My app so far only has two models.

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

I''m trying to implement acts_as_rateable to my Beast installation to give users the option to rate posts (like reddit). I chose acts_as_rateable as it supposedly easily allows reddit-type voting but I''m having some problems setting it up and the documentation seems outdated. (http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-rateable-plugin/) So far, I''ve

I''m trying to run a single worker that could perform a periodic task for a given user. >From a controller, I imagine something like: def start_job MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :foo_worker, :worker_method => :perform_task, :data => { :user_id = current_user.id }) end def check_job @status = MiddleMan.ask_status(:worker => :foo_worker)[current_user.id] end

The problem is, when I try to call the method, I get the following: private method `gsub'' called for #<Array:0x267de04> Here is my has_many code: has_many :mod_privileges,

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out. Guidance would be very much appreciated. I''m using the Ryan Bates technique from Advanced Rails recipes to dynamically add and remove elements on a multi-model form.

When using ruby to generate scaffolding, is there an easy way to add features that would be useful for keeping track of has_many and belongs_to relations? For example, suppose I have the following: Users Sites Pages Modules Each user has many pages, each site has many pages, each page has many modules, and also the belongs_to relation holds in the opposite order. I''m using the

I''ve got User has_one Shop. Rails is not validating when I tried create_shop or build_shop, neither in the browser nor the rails console.

Could someone please explain why this works: current_user.accounts.sum(:balance) But not this: current_user.accounts.find_all_by_active(true).sum(:balance) For the latter Rails tells me sum is an undefined method. It seems like I lose the ActiveRecord methods when I call ''find''? This (simpler) does not work either: current_user.accounts.find_all.sum(:balance) Thanks! --
