similar to: Pretty HABTM check boxes

First post/newbie post... bear with me. What I''m trying to achive (music site): A system containing tracks and moods with a HABTM relationship. I''ve got all that set up and functioning in the admin environment - i.e. admins can apply a variety of moods to a particular track via a series of checkboxes. Join table works just fine. I''m currently stuck on allowing

I want to run a single filter in my application.rb file, and then if a certain condition is true, end the action''s processing immediately. Right now I''m using prepend_before_filter to ensure that it gets run first, but some of my around_filters are still being processed. Is there a way that I can clear out all the filters that should be run? Basically it''ll look

I''ve got a Cuisine and a Restaurant model, with a habtm. One thing I want to do is find all the cuisines that have at least one restaurant associated with them. Right now I''m using the following SQL query: SELECT DISTINCT(cuisines.*) FROM cuisines, restaurants, cuisines_restaurants WHERE cuisines.id = cuisines_restaurants.cuisine_id AND restaurants.id =

I wanted to add a convenience method on my User class to see if he was already signed up for a tournament. Here''s my spec context "A User signed up for one tournament" do setup do @t1 = Tournament.new @t1.save false @t2 = Tournament.new @t2.save false @user = User.new @user.save false @user.registrations << Registration.new(:tournament =>

Started a new Rails project, and installed RSpec and the Rails plugin vendor/plugins/rspec (svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec) - 1332 vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails (svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails) - 1332 Generated the rspec file, created a model...the spec runs fine if I do ruby spec/models/foo_spec.rb. Running rake though gives

I''d like to start gathering information/debating on the advantages/disadvantages of using it "should ..." vs other techniques. Dan North explained why we should use should: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ I used to use it "should ..." for the projects I was on, until I was challenged by a fellow developer who started using it with an active voice. For example

rspec_resource_generator ======================== By Pat Maddox Use this generator to generate RESTful scaffolding with RSpec specifications. Syntax is exactly the same as the scaffold_resource generator: ./script/generate rspec_resource ModelName [field:type field:type] When you run this generator, it will create a migration, model, and model spec file. In addition, it gives you a RESTful

Hi, Posting here since issue tracking isn''t the best place to discuss. I can understand habtm is moving towards deprecating support for extra attributes in join_table, and to use :through for those cases instead. To clarify, patch<http://dev.rubyonrails.org/attachment/ticket/5216/habtm_join_table_test.patch1.diff>for #5216 <http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5216>

I mentioned this in another thread, but I''ve got a formal request now. After reading tons of stuff about REST, I don''t really get it. I need to see an example. I''d like someone to write up an example blog app with these requirements - RESTful using the simply_restful plugin (or edge rails) - allows posting of comments to articles - has categories for posts No need

I want to use ActiveResource in my app. Instead of hitting server though, I want it to load from a file when I call find. Any clue how I do that? Pat

Hello guys. I was able to figure out that my "stack level too deep" error I was getting with my HABTM destroy method was the result of a bug in rails 1.0. I upgraded to 1.1.2 and now the views and any console-run commands for destroying AR objects linked together via HABTM work just fine. I have HABTM setup between stories and submissions. The issue is that the destroy methods in

I created a project, made a migration, generated scaffolding...start up webrick and I get nothing. To simplify things, I just started another project and generated a controller, still getting nothing. The index page loads fine, but nothing beyond that. If I go to anything that should give me a 404, the page is just blank. The Webrick console just says a 500 (nothing explaining why), and

For a while, I''ve been getting that HMT is replacing HABTM. It appears that HMT can do all of what HABTM can do and more. The question is: Should I stop using HABTM? Let''s take a simple case: A case has many categories For a given category, there are certain valid statuses Category has_and_belongs_to_many :statuses Status has_and_belongs_to_many :categories Question: Is

I''ve got enough models now that I''d like to separate them into modules. For example, I have the class Player that I want to stick in the Trainer module. I''ve changed the definition to class Trainer::Player I''ve created a models/trainer dir, test/unit/trainer, and test/fixtures/trainer. Change the PlayerTest class to be Trainer::PlayerTest. I get the

Ok, David says on page 241 that sometimes a many-to-many relation with attributes are better implemented as an actual model instead of using HABTM. Well, I''ve got that situation and I can''t figure it out. All of the examples in the book have HABTM examples between 2 different tables, but I want to have a HABTM relation on 1 table with itself. (e.g., if I have a table Things,

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 finally got around to upgrading from 0.8.2 (!!). I had a spec which looked like specify "should render abc123" do controller.should_render :text => "abc123" get :key end With 1.0.0, the new spec is it "should render abc123" do get :key response.should render_text("abc123") end However it doesn''t work, giving me the error: undefined

So I''d been running gem releases of rspec for the past several months, and I installed edge rspec so that I can use Story Runner. I''m running into a problem because I''ve got a couple rake tasks that reference "spec/rake/raketask". If I try to run "rake spec" then it pulls in the gem version instead of the plugin version. rake blows up saying that

Imagine I want to track people, and the clubs that they belong to. table people with columns person_id, person_name table clubs with columns club_id, club_name And I have the association table: table clubs_people with columns person_id, club_id Now I know how to do this habtm between the two, in order to associate people with clubs that they belong to. However my application also needs a
