similar to: Habtm: I can create the same relation more than 1x!

Hi all I have the following models: class member has_and_belongs_to_many :disc_jockeys end class disc_jockey has_and_belongs_to_many :members end The relation table is called disc_jockeys_members and has the following fields: disc_jockeys_members(disc_jockey_id, member_id, status) So far, the field status can have values like valid, invalid, locked etc., but it is not regarded yet by

Hi all I have the following models: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # DJ Profiles the member is part of has_and_belongs_to_many :disc_jockeys, :join_table => ''members_are_disc_jockeys'', :uniq => true end class DiscJockey < ActiveRecord::Base # Members that are part of this DJ profile

Hi all I want to overwrite the push method (which is an alias of <<, the same as concat) of collections, and there I want to test if :uniq is set to true in the relationship. If so, the method should check if the passed object is already related to the parent, or not (only then it will be added). But I just can''t find the original code of this method, so I could overwrite

Hi all , I have a habtm relation between 2 tables: - users - rights If there a way to affect a destroy dependance on those 2 tables only for the last instance? In my opinion, dependent => :destroy is not the solution because this delete all the linked instance. For example, if I have: # in User model this: - "Joooooo" - "Jeannnn" - "Tommmm" # in Right

Hi, I have three Models: User, Group and File. User habtm groups and Group habtm Files How can I find all files that a particular user has access to? eg user.groups.files ? As user.groups returns an array, the above doesn''t work. Id like to find the files for all groups in that array, without adding any code to the User model. Thanks in advance PS I just posted this in the

Ok, so I have two models that HABTM each other. Companies UserAccounts When creating a new user account, this works: @company.user_accounts << @user This works with or without a subsequent save of @company. And the association is set properly but this does nothing (fails silently): @user.companies << @company This fails both when I do and don''t save @user afterwards.

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

I''ve a horrible feeling I''m missing something here, but I''d like to have something like :through to model a has_many relationship rather than a HABTM relationship (and I don''t think it does). The is the model I have (simplified): Users have many Models (and Models belong to Users) Models have many Pieces (and Pieces belong to Models) In (badly drawn)

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>

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

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,

Is there a way to update attributes in a HABTM join table? Right now I am deleting the join and then recreating it with new attributes. I have a table "categories" and another table "items". They are both HABTM with the join table "categories_items" between them. If an item is joined to a category once, no problem, we create the join. But if an item is

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

Hi there, I have a question on what would be the best way to save a HABTM model. A posting habtm categories, and a category habtm postings. class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :postings end class Posting < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end In my blog_controller, where the actual posting is saved, is where I think I''m

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

Hi there I have an habtm association between 2 Models. I regularly have to truncate the table on one side of the relationship and repopulate the table with a fresh csv file. I notice that f I do Model.delete_all, none of the records in my habtm join table get deleted, whereas if I use destroy_all they do. However, the overhead of using destroy_all is too great. For the amount of records I have

Pardon my newbness. I''m trying to create, populate, and save an object with an HABTM mapping. That''s not working too well so far ;) Assuming I have the mapping correct (HA!) and the db set up properly, how do I create the select and options? I guess mostly I want to know what I''m supposed to name it. I have a FilingEvent class - HABTM State (both models have the

Hello *Gem* experts, Sorry for asking multiple questions in one post but they are both related to one problem. So far I have the following code: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :blogs, :uniq=>true ..... end class Blog < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :members, :uniq=>true ... end The issue is 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
