No tutorial that I know of..
You have the same information for all user types, namely just the
important information for users. So - you keep password, username, first
name, last name, email address etc in the User table.
Stuff like sport, training ground, weight, height, body-fat etc would go
Hi Greg,
yeah - I think I have abandoned using a gem for this and will roll my
own. I've had more of a look into it now and it doesn't look like as big
a job as I had imagined..
I think it will be easier to put a "spent" boolean on the point model
though, rather than create negative point

This is telling you that there is no appointment_date column in your

replace appointment_date with whatever you have named the appointment

Hi,
I am currently writing an ROR application which I am looking to add user
points to. I've been looking at Merit for this, but I don't know if it
is going to be right for what I am looking to get out of it. The points
are the main thing, but I may use the badges and rating features in the
I don't think you need to use polymorphism for this.
I'd use STI for users and just keep the very basics in the user
table(profile name, email address, type etc). Then have something like
chef_info and athlete_info tables which contain the rest of the
differing information for each user type.
Hi,
I have 2 views on which I am running some javascript for a rating:
from first view:
$(document).on('turbolinks:load', function() {
$('.star-rating').raty({
path: '/assets/',
readOnly: true,
score: function() {
return $(this).attr('data-score');
}
OK, next problem..
When I create a comment (from a form on the status page) the params hash
contains a parameter called:
status_entity_id
What I want is just:
entity_id
Processing by CommentsController#create as JS
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "comment"=>{"content"=>"testing123"},
Thanks Nanaya,
looks like that will do the trick!

Hmmm..
OK, I have put this in place:
class Comment < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :published_entity, foreign_key: "entity_id"
but rails is still trying to use status_id..
(I have a class PublishedEntity which status inherits from)
class Status < PublishedEntity
I have changed the primary key on a table “statuses” to now be
entity_id
In my status model I have:
self.primary_key = 'entity_id'
when I try to render a collection of comments associated with a status
like so:
<%= render @comments %>
I get this error:
PG::UndefinedColumn: ERROR: column
When looking at comments which will be made on different types (say
post, picture, article) I see a lot of advice towards using polymorphic
associations for this. Ryan Bates has a good railscast on it:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/154-polymorphic-association-revised
However, I'm not sure I see

Hi Nanaya,
I saw that, but couldn't work out why the other answers made things so
complicated - I thought maybe I was not getting something important that
the extra model and db table allows.

I'm looking to add an edited_at field on comments etc in a Rails 5 app

OK,
thanks Colin, I will most likely go that route then,
I dare say it will save pain later on should I want to do anything more
complex with this as well,

Yes - I see that, it was late, got albums and images the wrong way round
there..
I've been learning for a few months now, so I've seen and completed that
tutorial and a few others. Its an excellent resource especially
considering its free!
I'm going to do a bit of reading up on associations
OK,
thanks for the pointers - I'll get through a bit of reading on this
tomorrow and see if I can't make enough sense of it to get something
working..
Thanks again,

OK - I was thinking:
User has_many Albums
User has_many Images through Albums
Image belongs_to User
Image belongs_to Album
Album has_one user
Album has_many images
am I overcomplicating things here? I have to say I'm not sure what the
advantages/disadvantages to the setup above
Interesting, do you mean this sort of thing:

OK, I see what you mean, however, I'd like each user to have their own
categories only and they would likely only have 5 - 10 max for the most
part, as they would only be able to put each photo in one category so
the album analogy would work. So in that sense they are not really tags

I've nothing specifically against it, but as I say I think just adding a
hash to the user model and then filtering on the entries therein seems
like it would be a lot more light weight no?
Is there some specific advantage I'd get by using acts_as_taggable_on?

I'm working on an app which has an image upload facility for users, I
want users to be able to create 'albums' for their pictures.
The way I'm thinking about implementing this is to have a hash in the
user model for each user which they can add categories to and will then
be available as a
