similar to: Change to has_many :through associations

So, I sat down to use set_fixture_class, and it bombed on the first thing I tried: set_fixture_class :content_drafts => "Article::Draft" I made a quick patch, and I''d appreciate a quick run through your tests to make sure it doesn''t disturb anything: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4095 As I was typing this, I realized that the string gives us no benefits. I

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

If anybody on edge familiar with this could help, that would be "great" :) I have different types of things I want to be "reviewable". So, instead of having a slew of HABTM... this new Polymorphic Associations schtick seemed like the best solution. I have everything setup as I thought it should be (so I think)... but it doesn''t appear to be working correctly. Here

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 have: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments do def published find( :all, :conditions => {:published => true} ) end end end When in my controller I do Post.find(:first).comments.published.paginate :page => params[:page] I get an error undefined method `paginate'' for []:Array Is will_paginate supposed to

I have a problem that surfaced in my attempt to upgrade my application to Rails 1.1. We have a STI model on the "belongs_to" side of a has_many/belongs_to relationship. All my unit tests for this model pass, and the relationships all seem to work fine. But in my functional tests, I''m getting errors. I''ve traced it back into the call to the has_many

This is really bugging me. How can I get a second association to work between 2 tables. I have two models, User and Article. A user has many articles, and an article belongs to one user. Then I have the "current article", which is a the article that the user is currently viewing/editing. I want to track/save this value, so they can come back to the same article if they log out

Has anyone had much experience using the new has_many :though options that are currently in Edge Rails? I''m looking at using it in my project but haven''t found much about it. Kyle

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

Hello All, I have a little challenge and I am not sure if this is even possible I am working on a dating/event site and few functionalities are similar that I want to centralize them. We have users which can have - favorite users - interest list - blocked users All these relations are like; User <-> Relation <-> User I was thinking I could have a class called Relation (with a

Hi, I have installed the acts_as_authenticated plugin from technoweenie, but when I run the tests I get an error (running windoze) -- create_table(:attachments, {:force=>true}) c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- sqlite (MissingSourceFile) I found the require statement in test/abstract_unit.rb

Hi all, I''m messing around with has_many, and has_many :through (on edge rails), using a join model. Branches and Projects join through ProjectsAtBranches. If I do @branch.projects, I can see the associated projects, and visa-versa, if I manually put them in the join table. But I cannot do @branch.projects << Branch.find(blah), or @branch.projects.clear, and then save the

I am having a problem with doing a :through that goes back to the same table. The following are my two classes: >>>>> class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :spanks has_many :spanked, :through => :spanks, :source => :spanked_user has_many :was_spanked_by, :through => :spanks, :source => :user end class Spank < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :spanker,

Will the find from acts_as_paranoid filter down to an :include? For instance class parent acts_as_paranoid has_many: children end and class child acts_as_paranoid belongs_to :parent end Then if you Parent.find(:all, :include => children) you will get all the children if they are deleted or not. I guess the find that filters out the deleted_at is null does not filter down to the includes

I''ve got a User model and a Book model. A user is required to submit books each month to be reviewed by other users. I have the following relationships defined: # the join model book_review.rb belongs_to :user belongs_to :book end book.rb # each book is reviewed by many users. This allows us to get the BookReview # objects associated with this book has_many :book_reviews,

Hi everyone, I have 3 types of people (for now): Staff Faculty Students To break them up into classes, but keep them in the same People table, I''ve broken them up like so (code and ''ends'' snipped): class Person < ActiveRecord::Base class Employee < Person class Staff < Employee class Faculty < Employee class Student < Employee So, when I insert

Today I face with incorrect behavior in ActiveRecord. It take place when I try to use :include parameter for .find method. Where are two typical cases: 1. You have record with self-referential joins CREATE TABLE keywords (id, group_id); class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :group, :class_name => "Keyword", :foreign_key =>

I just now thought of this, and sure enough it works like a charm (at least so far in my limited testing): has_many :events, :dependent => :delete_all has_many :upcoming_events, :class_name => "Event", :conditions => "date > NOW()" The purpose of this is that it makes eager loading of subsets of associations possible without replacing all the magic of the
