I want to find out what are the associations with another active record class. So If my class is as below: Class Component < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :branches end class Branch < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component end and then I do Component.reflections[:branches].active_record I would expect that to be Branch but it is in fact Component. The inspection of

Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is

Hi there- What''s the easiest/most efficient way to perform a zerofill in Ruby? i.e. Given the value ''val'', I would like to do something like: val = 43 puts val.zerofill(8) ---> "00000043" gsub? sprintf of some sort? Jake -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Let''s say I have: A BELONGS_TO B B HAS_ONE A (with :dependent=>:nullify) But this association does not need to exist. In other words, I could have many A''s and B''s that are not associated in this manner. Presently, if I try to delete "B": 1. If B is associated to an "A", this works fine and A.my_B is nullified. 2. If B is NOT associated, I

I''ve encountered what seems like an odd omission in the behaviour of belongs_to associations: if you assign to the foreign key attribute, it doesn''t update the associated object (or mark a previously loaded one as stale) until you explicitly save or reload it. Let''s say we have a Company model, which belongs_to :city : >> torchbox =

Hello- I would like to know what the suggested practice is for having multiple submit buttons on a relatively complicated input page. Let''s use the example of a Contact. There is lots of info there, including name, address, phone number. There is also a list of "contact associations" which can be modified on the same page. Ideally, the user could have one

I''ve been reading up in ActiveRecord::Associations and playing around with my app via the console and found some interesting methods via the code completion of IRB, but I have no idea how to use them and can only find one hint in the API http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ ClassMethods.html It mentions here in the has many associations that if you use the

Looking for some guidance/support on what feels like might not be an uncommon use-case. `User.has_many accounts` `User.has_many payment_methods` `Account.belongs_to :user` `Account.belongs_to :payment_method` `PaymentMethod.has_many :accounts` There are lots of `Accounts`. When I (a `User`) want to assign accounts to a `PaymentMethod`, I really don''t want to scope against all of them,

I have an object that belongs_to :task, and calling that object''s task method returns the task it belongs to in the unit tests. One place in a controller, though, it gives me the error: undefined method `find'' for Rake::Task:Class ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/belongs_to_association.rb:44:in `find_target''

I have a problem with the association. I have the model called Invoice whit the associations: belongs_to :company belongs_to :client belongs_to :type_invoice has_many :row_invoices belongs_to :bank belongs_to :payment When i create the invoice i use a session variable, so i can add all the information i wont and I can save all at the end. This is all ok. def new session[:invoice] =

Hello -- I would like to setup a system where a user can generate a "ticket". This ticket will be stored indefinitely. The ticket will be sent to someone who does not have an account on the system and therefore, I would like to ensure some level of security in that ticket number. Basically, the other user would receive an email like: --- Please click on the link below to view this

Hey all, I''m not positive if this is a Engines bug, but it seems very peculiar and a few hours of Googling haven''t given me any good leads yet, so I thought I''d see if it makes sense to any of you: I am writing a new version of the savage_beast plugin (implements Beast forums as a plugin) that''s Rails 2.0 compatible, and I am having trouble with the many

I''ve gotten eager associations to work before, but for some reason this isn''t working out for me this time. I''ve been scratching my head but can''t quite figure out the nuances of what works and what doesn''t work. I''ve got 3 models: profile, widget_configuration and widgets profile.rb -- has_many :widget_configurations

Can someone please confirm or correct the following statements? If I have the following tables create table as (id int, [...], b_id int); create table bs (id int, [...], a_id int); create table as_bs (a_id int, b_id int); and the associations woould be defined like this class A << ... habtm :bs belongs_to :b end so my Model A has a habtm collection of Bs *plus* a direct

class Host < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person end class House < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :people, :dependent => true has_many :hosts, :through => :person end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :house has_many :hosts, :dependent => true end Now when I try to do: @hosts = House.find_by_id(params[:namas]).hosts from my controller I get this:

I have 3 models . Doctor, Patient and User with following associations class Doctor < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :patients, :dependent => :destroy has_one :user, :as => :userable accepts_nested_attributes_for :user end class Patient < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :doctor has_one :user, :as => :userable accepts_nested_attributes_for :user end class User <

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

Hi, Let''s say I''ve the following Models and their relative associations: Seat ---- belongs_to :booking Booking ------- has_many :seats has_many :debits, :as => :chargeable Debits ------ belongs_to :chargeable, :polymorphic => true Why >> seat.booking.debits nil while >> Booking.find(seat.booking_id).debits [] ? Thanks. Cheers, Marco

I''d like to be able to use a has_many :through association and treat the associations as a list but I''m getting this error when I try an use an acts_as_list method: NoMethodError: undefined method `move_to_bottom'' I''m using edge rails r6786. Here are my domain rules: Activities are things students can do. Units consists of a sequenced list of

So I''m one of those nasty people building a self-referential habtm-like Association using the funky new :through stuff. This is about users having friends, so here''s my user.rb: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :friendships, :foreign_key => ''user_id'' has_many :friends, :through => :friendships, :source => :friend end And here''s
