Progress All my ordinary associations seems to be correct with both direction of the associations.
I discovered a great tools for debugging and/or documentation: http://blog.zmok.net/articles/2006/11/13/visualize-your-rails-schema Looks like one could morph this into an association checking tool some rainy day. It found a couple of things, but I keep focusing on this set of associations: belongs_to :first_contact, :foreign_key => :first_contact_id, :class_name => "User" :conditions => "users.role = 'classco'" belongs_to :second_contact, :foreign_key => :second_contact_id, :class_name => "User" :conditions => "users.role = 'classco'" Rather than just two associations to the users model to model the various contacts to each class, the right thing to do would be to have a has_many :through association. This way I can have as many contacts as my users might deem that they need. So I changed this to: has_many :contacts, :class_name => "User", :through => "school_class_user" models/school_class_user.rb contains: class SchoolClassUser < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :school_class belongs_to :user end and models/user.rb has gotten a statement like this as well: has_many :school_classes, :through => :school_classes_users There is a database named school_class_user to link to the new model. When I try this code I get this error message from AR: Could not find the association "school_class_user" in model SchoolClass I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong but just can not see what - can anyone help ? Also - is there something that look bothersome from an AS perspective. /S On Jan 28, 7:39 am, Soren <[email protected]> wrote: > class SchoolClassesController < ApplicationController > > layout "default" > > before_filter :login_required > > #This links to the update_table_config method further down > before_filter :update_table_config > > # Only list the lowest level that is required to have access > # all levels above that is already included > > before_filter :cc_required, :except => > [:classlist_student, :classlist, :classlist_teachers, :classlist_cc, :list, > :update_table, :show, :row, :show_search, :bellschedule, :calendar, :staff, > :cc_report, :jobs ] > > active_scaffold :school_class do |config| > config.columns = > [:name, :grade_printable, :sorting_group, :teachers, :ias, :first_contact, > :second_contact, :room, :phone] > > config.label = "Classes" > config.list.sorting = [{ :sorting_group => :asc},{:room => :asc}] > config.action_links.add 'classlist', > :label => "Class List", > :type => :record, > :inline => false > > config.columns[:grade].label = "internal grade" > config.columns[:grade].description = "Set to negative value to > remove from class listings" > config.columns[:grade_printable].label = "Grade" > config.columns[:first_contact].label = "Class Coordinator" > config.columns[:second_contact].label = "Class Coordinator" > > # This works with staff > config.columns[:teachers].label = "Teacher(s)" > config.columns[:ias].label = "Instructional Assistant(s)" > > config.actions.swap :search, :live_search > > list.per_page = 30 > > # Add the new report functions to the system > if Konfig::KLASS_ALLERGY > config.action_links.add 'allergy', > :label => "Allergy Report", > :type => :record, > :inline => false, > :security_method => :allergy_authorized? > end > > # Stripped 5 other functions out - they are almost identical to > the one above. > > # This logic limits the users listed in the users/list view > # Can be used in any controller to control what happens to the > records > # shown in the List view > # Do > check:http://wiki.activescaffold.com/wiki/published/Dynamic+conditions_for_... > # THIS IS IN SQL SYNTAX !!!!!!!! > #['generic IN (?)', ['false']] > def conditions_for_collection > if !current_user.has_role?('user') > [""] > else > if Konfig::SHOW_GENERIC > ['generic = true'] > else > ['generic = false'] > end > end > end > > # Logic to include the generic field in the update editor > def update_table_config > if not current_user.nil? > if current_user.has_role?('user') > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :generic > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :grade > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :sorting_group > else > if current_user.has_role?('admin') > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.add :generic > active_scaffold_config.create.columns.add :generic > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.add :generic > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.add :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.add :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.create.columns.add :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.add :grade > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.add :grade > active_scaffold_config.create.columns.add :grade > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.add :sorting_group > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.add :sorting_group > active_scaffold_config.create.columns.add :sorting_group > else > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.exclude :generic > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :generic > > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.exclude :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :grade_printable > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.exclude :grade > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :grade > active_scaffold_config.update.columns.exclude :sorting_group > active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude :sorting_group > end > end > end > end > > The association parts from school_classes model is a posted earlier in > this thread > > /S > > On Jan 27, 2:51 am, JSeidel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > It's an Active Record method: > > From api.rubyonrails.org: > > klass() > > > Returns the class for the macro.
