In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

Hi. I am developing an industry specific crm that allows busineses to track customers in a particular way. Each customer will be assigned a customer number. The first customer will have a customer number of 1, the second customer_number = 2, etc... Note that this customer number is not global but particular to the account that created the customer (see schema snip below). I need to have a

So I got CanCan and Devise working well. I have two types of users: Admins and Nonadmins. Admins can edit all of Nonadmins profiles. The problem is, every user (either Admin or Nonadmin) belongs to an Account or Organization. Admins should only be able to edit users from their own Account or Organization. I was able to do that too. The problem is, I can''t display the Create New User

My server is running Rails 2.3.4...am I not doing this correctly or is something borked? >> c=Contact.last => #<Contact id: 24, name: "Larry", email: "larry-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org", phone: 2147483647, account_id: 8, created_at: "2009-11-27 18:16:25", updated_at: "2009-11-27 18:40:08", hide_name: false, hide_phone: false,

I just switched from using the standard "id" column into using my own primary key and generating my own unique id for each record. But, this breaks acts_as_tree. Because my new primary key is not an integer, it breaks the SQL query as follows: StatementInvalid in PagesController#create --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I ve defined the following relation in one of my models with a dynamic where condition: has_one :selection, :foreign_key => ''object_id'', :conditions => ''selection_type = 1 and account_id = # {self.send(:account_id)}'' That works perfect, however when I try to eager load that relation I am getting the following error when doing a

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This

Hi, I have a situation I''m hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on. I have a Rails app (2.1.0 on Ruby 1.8.7) with a wizard-based sign up process, that has recently been changed from storing incremental data in the database to having a medium sized object graph living in the user session until the user completes the entire sign up process (this is a business

Hi. I''m running 0.11.4. The problem I''m having, appears to have been solved before according to various posts I googled up, but possibly the fix got removed from 0.11.3 to 0.11.4? re = Entry.multi_search(''service'', [Ticket], options, {}) re.size 620 re.total_hits 620 Now add conditions: re = Entry.multi_search(''service'', [Ticket],

I am trying to read some information based on a user id, then search the database for the needed info and build an XML file. Everything seems to be working fine; I read the info, I create the xml and even spit "stuff" out to file. The issue is that the "stuff" I am writing to a file is a xml/html cross cluster #@%$ of stuff. Here is some code: if !params[:id].blank?

There''s a number of calls in the Rails source to convert_to_model, which takes an activerecord object instance: convert_to_model(object) Here''s the thing. All convert_to_model does is calls to_model, which returns self (the ActiveModel instance). Am I missing something here? Why call a method that returns the same thing? @user => #<User id: 3, name:

Hi All, I've been having a little trouble with creating a loop that will run a a series of t.tests for inspection, Below is the code i've tried, and some checks i've looked at. I've used the get(paste()) idea as i was told previously that the use of the eval should try and be avoided. I've run a single syntax to check that my systax is correct and works without any problems

I''m try to verify users on login. Here is my code: def self.authenticate(username,password,account_code) employee = self.find(:all, :select => "e.id, e.first_name, e.last_name, e.username, e.account_id, e.department_id, o.pay_type_id, o.admin_yn, o.payroll_yn, o.files_yn, o.dept_report_yn,e.salt, e.hashed_password", :conditions => ["e.deleted_yn=0 and

Hi all, I''ve got a rails and database question. Accounts have jobs, and job numbers should be assigned per account. Account 89 should have jobs 1-whatever, which are not the same as account 67, which has jobs 1-whatever. In the past, I have accomplished this quite easily with: create table job ( accountid int(10) unsigned not null default 0, jobid int(10) unsigned not null

I am trying to determine how to display a list returned from a Rails find(:include => [:children]). I am using the following (which works in the console): @patients = Account.find(session[:account_id]).patients.find(:all, :include => [:patient_details]) How can I address the patient_details to display them in the view? The console even shows a @patient_details instance variable

Hello, I have two classes that are self explanatory and are listed below. class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :account end class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :account_owner, { :dependent => true, :class_name => "User", :conditions => "is_account_owner = 1" } has_many :users end In the signup controller when an account is created one user

I had some concerns about breaking Rails table relationships (:has_many, :has_and_belongs_to_many, :belongs_to, :acts_as_*, etc) when moving multiple databases (using the same application) into one. I seem to be stuck when trying to wrap my head around a good database design for what I would like to do or if I am just completely not thinking straight. I guess this isn''t related

Hello, I''ve come across an issue that I''m sure is a bug when using after_create with a has_one association, but I''m not 100% certain if I''m missing something. This is pretty much exactly the code I''m using. Two simple classes (Account and Contact) and I create the contact after I create an account (via after_create). I''m not passing in a

Hi, Why does ActiveRecord allow perception of success when updating an ID, however it doesn''t really work(i.e. no change in database)? Here''s an example. The update of "id" versus update of a non-existent attribute. ?> ai = AccountItem.find(:first) => #<AccountItem id: 1, account_id: 1, date: "2009-01-11", amount:

Hello all, I have an Order object that has and belongs to many Products and has and belongs to many Loan Types. This is so I can select multiples of each in my order entry screen via checkbox groups. I''m having some trouble with saving multiple HABTM associations for a single model object; only the first HABTM association declared in the model will save during the initial @order.save
