similar to: managing belongs_to fields in a form

I am very new to Rails. After skimming through the documentation over the last several days, I''m struggling with the appropriate use of belongs_to. My main question is whether a model can have several belongs_to declarations. I have not seen any examples online show that usage. If it can, then I would like to know if it''s poor form or what the best practices are around

Hi, I m very new to Ruby. I bought a book "Ruby on Rails" and I think I understand some concepts. My question is : Is there a way to not use "Cookies" or "Sessions Variables" to keep some information about the user. I ask this question because I would like to prevent some cases where the user browser won''t accept cookies. I m from Asp 3.0, and I

I have users and companies tables where users belongs_to companies. def signup @company = Company.new(params[:company]) @user = User.new(params[:company]) @user.company = @company if @user.valid? and @company.valid? @company.save @user.save end end How can I make this into a transaction? Is this a candidate for a distributed transaction? If so, from what I understand from the API,

Folks, Am new to RoR and am building an example to get myself familiar. I am running into a simple issue while creating a user registration page. I have a User and Address models defined as below (partial/relevant code included below). User has_one address and Address belongs_to user. I have a foreign key defined in address table that refers to user(id) In a form I take in username, password,

I am very confused about where to put the belongs_to and the has_one (and other relationship identifiers). I have read the RDoc and the agile book many times about this and I think i still see it backwards. Let me outline my app so you have an understanding... I have 2 tables: Schools { id, school_name, address_id } and Addresses { street1, street2, city, state, zip, country } *** this

Hi, My saves are failing me and I can''t figure out why. I am trying to save an address id to a user object just after I create the address. This isn''t the exact code, but it shows what I am trying to do. class AddressesController < ApplicationController def create @address = Address.new(params[:address]) saved_address = @address.save @user =

I am sure some of you can give me an insight into this. This is more towards the database design for the scenario below: Say for example, I have a person table and this person can have different address types. One could be Home and the other could be say Office. Should be model this Table people id fname lname Table addresses id person_id addr1 addr2 .... or Table people id fname lname

I have two classes, Listing and Warranty. A Listing (think of it as a product) may or may not have a Warranty from a lookup table. When I want the Warranty.company for a given Listing I want to say the following: @listing = Listing.find(4) @company = @listing.warranty.company In order to do that I did the following: class Listing < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :warranty end and

I was hoping someone would be able to help me with creating a method. I have two tables. What I am trying to do is create a list of all the id''s from table2 that aren''t currently referenced by Table1''s address_id column. That way, when I create a new customer I can have a drop down list in the view of all the addresses that are not currently being used. ##### Database

Hi all, Is there a way to have searches no use some indexed fields, when processing a query? context: I have a model Foo that holds some information in two languages : - text1_nl, text2_nl, text3_nl and - text1_en, text2_en, text3_en Some other fields are common to both languages and indexed as well - first_name, last_name Depending on the visitor language choice I need to exclude the

Hi all, Although I''m experienced with programming I''m a beginner with ruby, RoR and MVC So I follow examples from books and so on and all is ok. I can make a model who is a class and who match to a table in my database and then I generate pretty forms on a webpage. I would like to know how I can do to make forms who interact with more than one table. For an example lets

Hello, I have a People table and a Addresses table. A person can have one or more addresses, but should at least have one, so there is a address_id field in People. Now, I would like to have a form to fill the name of a new person and its address from the same place. I could use person.address.country, for example (it works), but I would like to simply use person.country for some reasons

Hi: does button_to_function allow the use of an image? I tried it in place of the text with "image_tag" and it doesn''t work. Maybe some form of button_to? Any direction you can give would be great!

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

Hi folks, I''m new to this... so hopefully someone can help me. I have a few objects... Property and Address and Landlord... where a Property has an address and a landlord has an address also. I''ve modelled this in the db with the properties table having an address_id and the landlord table having an address id. My rb looks like: class Property < ActiveRecord::Base

I''m a newbie to rails, and really to the whole DRY and MVC thing as well, except where I accidentally fell into things doing it my own way in the past. I''ve got a fairly complex DB structure I want to create an interface for using Rails. Getting simple tables to display, edit, save, not too much problem there. But where I''m having trouble is figuring out where to

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via

Greetings all, To all the good souls that happen to know NTLM and Rails....
