I''m having a problem with a has_and_belongs_to_many (habtm) association between two models with extra attributes. I''m writing a comic book database, and each issue has many creators on it. Thing is, some creators perform multiple duties. They may write one issue, draw another, etc. However, if I add a creator twice to an issue and try to delete it, it removes both creators:

I have a problem declaring a relationship through a join_table ; the SQL generated by ActiveRecord is correct, but there are two columns called ''id'', and the final object gets the ''wrong'' column ... Here''s a more detailed description of the data, code, and problem :- There''s a People table, with id, name, and a few things. Also a

Here''s a simplistic model class. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :relatives, :class_name => ''Person'', :join_table => ''relatives'', :foreign_key => ''from_id'', :association_foreign_key => ''to_id'' has_and_belongs_to_many :brothers, :class_name =>

I have a site where Users can become Friends with other Users. I used to do this with a habtm, but of course I want to stay up-to-date and convert this to a has_many :trough. Unfortunately I can''t get it to work.. the documentation on this feature is a bit sparse at the moment. This is my old habtm: has_and_belongs_to_many :friends, :join_table => ''user_friends'',

I need to have a table related to itself via a join table. Will HABTM support this? That is: class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :recipes, :join_table => "recipes_recipes" end More importantly -- how does RoR support MULTIPLE self-joins? I.e., to relate the table to itself via multiple join tables. SFAIK, HABTM won''t support multiple

Hi, I''m having a little trouble figuring out how to make a self- referential HABTM bi-directional. I have a Employee class. Each employee can have a couple of bosses, who are also employees. The employee class has the following HABTM: has_and_belongs_to_many :bosses, :class_name => "Employee", :join_table => "bosses_courses", :association_foreign_key =>

Hi all I have members in my application, and every member can assign other members as buddies. class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # Hat folgende Buddies has_and_belongs_to_many :buddies, :class_name => ''Member'', :join_table => ''members_have_buddies'',

I have a class Player, and a class Game. Game has two HABTM relationships to the Player table through seperate relationship tables. class Game < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :players, :uniq => true has_and_belongs_to_many :victors, :class_name => ''Player'', :uniq => true end When I add Player A to players, and Player B to victors, and save the

Cheers, I have a problem with 1.0 and a habtm relationship between User and Article. I want to save all articles that users read.

I''m trying to set up a directional self-referential HABTM to represent an arbitrary semi-hierarchical structure; it works for any data prepopulated into the db, but when I try to create a new relationship, I just get NULLs in both key columns (or 0''s if I turn on the no-null constraint). Here are the migrations: class CreateNodes < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up

Briefly, I want to create an :insert_sql attribute for a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and then add items to that relationship using push_with_attributes. Is that possible? Less briefly: I have a legacy postgresql database where one of the join tables has an ID column, so I had to set up the association with a custom :finder_sql attribute, as follows: class Topic <

Hello everyone, first post to the list and a relative newbie to Rails development. Done quite a bit of JSP, PHP, HTML, XML etc and thought I would kick the tires on Rails to see if it can speed up development for internal applications. Anyway, I am running into a problem that is just driving me crazy and everything I read on the net doesn''t seem to help. I was hoping someone here might

With the help of the Rails Recipes have got a self-referential HABTM relationship working, but I''m really struggling with getting a new entry from a form accepted. i should say here that the form is also submitting info for the join table too. So in my model I have: class Type < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :subtypes, :class_name => ''Type'',

I have two tables that have a HABTM relationship: Teacher has_and_belongs_to_many Groups, and Group has_and_belongs_to_many Teachers. This is what I want: select a Teacher, and then drag Groups from one box to another to assign them to the teacher. Or, select a group, and drag and drop Teachers to assign them to groups. All using AJAX, (off course). Only problem is, I don''t know

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 all I''m working on a Custom Formbuilder. I want it to create me with a single method call checkboxes for a given HABTM association. My model looks like this: [code=ruby]class Member < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :preferred_music_styles, :class_name => ''MusicStyle'', :join_table =>

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

I''m building an app that needs i18n support across the entire database (i.e. localized attributes). In order to do this I''ve created a special HABTM join table that can be associated with _any_ other table: create table language_strings ( for_table varchar(255) not null, foreign_id int not null, language_id varchar(5) not null, attr_name varchar(255) not null, value text

Hi! I''m working on a multi-language idioms mapping application in which an expression object has a habtm relation with its own class. I thus created a table ''expressions_dictionary'' and would go about by declaring something like: has_and_belongs_to_many :peers, :class_name => "Expression", :join_table

hi, I found a bug in ActiveRecord association SQL INNER JOIN codes. in has_many, has_one, habtm and belongs_to queries the foreign key is determined from the table name of reflection and self. but that''s worng because if you use a global prefix or suffix for your tables the foreign keys will be in format of PREFIX_CLASSNAME_SUFFIX_id which is wrong, because it breaks the advantage of
