I''ve got a really strange problem using belongs_to. I apologize in advance for the length... this is going to take a while to explain. Basic idea: Creating a User requires that the user enter an email address and activation key that matches an existing PendingUser. After creating the user successfully, that pending user should be marked as "used". The problem: When I

So I''m new to all this Rails stuff and this is probably a database design-related question to, but here it is... Just for learning I''m trying to build a little real estate listings application. Of course there is the listings model which will store basic information like name, price, description, and all that jazz. I''m to the point where I want to figure out how to

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

Hi guys, I was thinking aboiut this for a while: If I have nested resource routes, for example /building/1/floor/2/ room/ 3 (building has_many floors and so on), I have to call the room_path method like this: room_path @room.floor.building, @room.floor, @room Isn´t there a better way to handle nested routes with foreign keys, or can I have this method overwritten somewhere?

Hi, I have a model similar Basket shown below. If customer_type is set then it should also set customer to nil. Likewise, if I set customer, it should inspect the customer_type attached to the customer and set accordingly within Basket. However implementing it as below doesn''t seem to work. Am I missing a better way to achieve this? I had also considered using a before_save

Hi, I''m looking for a way to extend one of my models to allow some level of abstraction between what goes into it and how it is stored. For example, say I have a Product and I want to set it''s price. A person using the website will type the price in euros. Internally, I''d like to store the price as an integer value of cents. I can currently do this with some ugly code

the case: i have two classes: 1) class Contract < ActiveRecord::Base serialize :addons end 2) class Addon < ActiveRecord::Base end Now i do the following in contract_controller: def create @contract = Contract.new(params[:contract]) @contract.user_id = session[:user_id] @contract.customer_id = params[:customer_id] @contract.pending = 1 @contract.addons = Array.new end def update

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure. I''d like to suggest that it either be made consistent or be made to fail loudly. The issue is that to do something before validating, but only when creating, you use `before_validation on: :create`,

Le''s say that I have a table called people and the column middle_name is nullable. If the user enters say blank or empty space then in the database it is recorded as empty space. I would like in all my models all empty spaces to be recorded as null. I guess I can write a plugin which will do so for all the models but I''m sure something like that should already be existing.I

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

I am having a problem finding the best way to make a "before_save :encrypt_password" conditional. I have to at times update user model attributes but each time I do this the password is reencrypted because of the above. I need to differentiate between when the user is first logging in and the password does need to be encrypted, and when they are already logged in and the

I''m building an app that needs i18n support across the entire database (i.e. localized attributes). In order to do this I''ve created a special HABTM join table that can be associated with _any_ other table: create table language_strings ( for_table varchar(255) not null, foreign_id int not null, language_id varchar(5) not null, attr_name varchar(255) not null, value text
