How to upload multiple files without nested form using Rails 4? - ruby-on-rails-4

Can anybody tell me how can I implement multiple file upload using carrierwave without taking separate model for files?
I have my model as expense_details.rb and I need to upload multiple receipts for those expenses.

You need:
1) a polymorphic attachments resource
2) rails upload gem(https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave)
3) a js multiple uploader(https://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/)
4) easy to use 2 & 3(github.com/tors/jquery-fileupload-rails)
db:
class CreateAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :attachments do |t|
t.string :name
t.string :link
t.integer :attachmentable_id
t.string :attachmentable_type
t.integer :user_id
t.timestamps
end
add_index :attachments, :user_id
add_index :attachments, [:attachmentable_id, :attachmentable_type]
end
end
controller:
class AttachmentsController < ApplicationController
...
def create
#attachment = Attachment.new(params[:attachment])
#attachment.name = params[:attachment][:link].original_filename
if #product_attachment.save
# do something
else
# do something
end
end

Simple_form Nested attribute in Rails 4

It's been a week and I'm still stuck trying to create a new form that updates my associated model. I have read so many post with a similar problem and is killing me inside.
The same old Gallery has_many :photosand Photo belongs_to :gallery
I have already nested my resources. When I submit my form I also get a routing error.
resources :galleries do
resources :photos do
end
end
Already included accepted_nested_attribute_for :photos in my :gallery model
How should I write my new and create method for my photos controller? Should I use .build instead of .create, should I use fields_for instead of form_for? I notice rails 4 is using strong params, so do I need to permit gallery inside my photos controller.
Sorry guys I read, and watched so many videos and even though I copy code for code still stuck.
My simple_form keeps on getting all sorts of error:
<%= simple_form_for :photos, html:{multipart: true} do |f| %>
<%= f.input :position, collection: 1..10 %>
<%= f.input :publish %>
<%= f.input :caption, placeholder:"Please insert caption here", label:false %>
<%= f.input :image, label:false %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'user_id', current_user.id %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'gallery_id', gallery.id %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
My goal is to pass on my gallery's id to my photos. This is my scheme:
create_table "photos", force: :cascade do |t|
t.text "caption"
t.string "image_file_name"
t.string "image_content_type"
t.integer "image_file_size"
t.datetime "image_updated_at"
t.integer "gallery_id"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
t.integer "position"
t.boolean "publish"
end
create_table "galleries", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "title"
t.text "description"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
t.string "image_file_name"
t.string "image_content_type"
t.integer "image_file_size"
t.datetime "image_updated_at"
t.integer "user_id"
t.string "tag"
t.boolean "publish"
end
So you have a gallery form for inserting multiple pictures inside your gallery, you need to get the gallery from the params.
Firstly in your photos_controller.rb
def new
#gallery = Gallery.find(params[:gallery_id)
#gallery.photos.build
end
and your form, you should use cocoon or nested_form_fields(my preferred choice)
simple_form_for #gallery do |f|
f.simple_fields_for :pictures do |p|
p.input :title
p.input :your_other_stuff
whitelist the params by doing
def params
params.require(:gallery).permit(:gallery, :stuff, :in_here, pictures: [:pictures, :stuff, :in_here])
end

rails_admin can't delete HABTM object

My two models are
class Team < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :releases
end
class Release < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :teams
end
class ReleasesTeam < ActiveRecord::Base
end
When I try to delete a team or release on rails_admin, I get an error:
undefined method `releases_teams' for #<Release:0x007fe57b0a9f20>
raised on this line
def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
if respond_to_without_attributes?(method, true)
super
else
match = match_attribute_method?(method.to_s)
match ? attribute_missing(match, *args, &block) : super #ERROR RAISED HERE
end
end
What am I missing here?
EDIT:
After Pavan's comment, I removed ReleasesTeam model. DB schema looks like this now:
create_table "releases", force: true do |t|
t.text "notes"
end
create_table "teams", force: true do |t|
t.string "name"
end
create_table "releases_teams", id: false, force: true do |t|
t.integer "team_id"
t.integer "release_id"
end
I reset the DB and still getting the same error
Update Rails to 4.1.4.

thebenedict commented
This is a rails issue, not rails_admin. HABTM implementation changed in rails 4 in a way that breaks reflection on association names. There's a fix in 4-1-stable, and upgrading rails to 4.1.4 fixes this for me. Also see rails/rails#14682

schema file keeps a column that i deleted in a migration

I am trying to build my database from scratch.
I have run the rake db:reset and rake db:migrate
I have edited my CreatePerformances migration not to include the filed 'file_name' (I usually would create a new migration but its a small project)
class CreatePerformances < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :performances do |t|
t.date :date
t.string :location
t.timestamps
end
end
end
When i look at my schema.rb file it still includes the file_name field
.
.
.
create_table "performances", force: true do |t|
t.string "file_name"
t.date "date"
t.string "location"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
what am i doing wrong?

How do I hide from a user the ability to perform an action on a resource after a period of time in Rails 4?

For my projects table I have a column, state, which take string values: "open", "in production", "pending approval" and "completed". The actions that trigger changes between these states are messages that go to and from users about the projects or actions associated to messages. When the object, project, goes from "open" to "in production", in the users inbox a user has a button appearing on the conversation associated with the project that reads, "Drop Project." Moreover, I can wire up the functionality as well. Clicking this button will disassociate you with the project.
My question: how can I have this button hide itself or disappear after 5 days of the project's state, having gone from "open" to "in production"? In other words, I want the user to have the opportunity to disassociates his self from the project within a certain time limit. After that, he is stuck with the project and is encouraged to finish it.
Also, how would I test this with rspec? Is this strictly with an integration test, or can I test it with a unit test too?
I am aware of this SO post (Rails 3 Check if attribute changed), but it has not helped me figure out the solution to my problem. However, I feel like it could serve as support.

I don't think there is a built-in Rails way to do this. ActiveModel::Dirty won't work because it only tells you if an object attribute has been changed in memory, once the object is saved to the DB it isn't dirty anymore. I think you'll just have to create a timestamp companion column for state and reset that value to the current time every time you change state. Then you'd just check against the time difference between now and the state_changed attribute.
You can do this by assigning Time.now to the state_changed attribute every time you assign a new state. Or, alternately, you could use a before_save callback on the project object. Use AM::Dirty to check if project.state has been changed, and set the state_changed attribute to Time.now if it has been. That way would be more DRY.
And then in the code for the actions you want time dependent you'd wrap them in a conditional like
if project.state == "in production" && project.state_changed < 5.days.ago
And you'd also create a helper for your views that made the same calculation and only show the button if it is true.
I was missing some large objects here. A user has many projects through volunteer applications and a user has many projects through contracts.
Seeing as that accepting a user's solicitation on a project occurs in the user's inbox which contains an array of conversations that have a foreign key, contract_id, I implemented the following method in the Conversation model:
def with_opportunity_to_drop_job
contract = Contract.find(self.contract_id)
contract.active && contract.work_submitted == false && contract.created_at > 5.days.ago
end
If the creation date is more than 5 days ago, the button disappears -- luckily I have tests that validate this so I do not need to wait around for 5 days :-)

Displaying many-to-many using select multiple

right now im building a form that accepts a many to many using a select multiple. after creating the form, im trying to display the information collected in the SHOW page however i dont know how to display that data in embedded ruby. join model is CardTypesList
Models
class Card < ActiveRecord::Base
self.inheritance_column = nil
validates :name, presence: true, uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}
has_many :card_type_lists
has_many :card_types, through: :card_type_lists
accepts_nested_attributes_for :card_type_lists
end
class CardType < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :card_type_lists
has_many :cards, through: :card_type_lists
end
class CardTypeList < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :cards
belongs_to :card_types
accepts_nested_attributes_for :card_type
end
NEW form using select
<%= f.label :types %>
<%= f.select :card_type_ids, CardTypes.all.collect{|x| [x.name, x.name]}, {},{:title => "Select a Type", :multiple => true, :class => 'selList'} %>
Embedded ruby trials
<td class="card-td"><%= #card.card_types %></td>
Expected: ["Type 1", "Type2"]
this renders the page, but yields (in text):
<ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionProxy::ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy_CardTypes:0x00000102f58a18>
EDIT: schema added.
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20140120042152) do
create_table "card_type_lists", force: true do |t|
t.integer "card_type_id"
t.integer "card_id"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
create_table "card_types", force: true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
create_table "cards", force: true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "set"
t.string "card_types"
t.string "colors"
t.string "cost"
t.string "rarity"
t.string "oracle"
t.float "value"
t.integer "number_owned"
t.string "notes"
t.string "img_link"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.integer "types_mask"
end
add_index "cards", ["name"], name: "index_cards_on_name", unique: true
end
and this is my controller:
class CardsController < ApplicationController
def new
#card = Card.new
#card.card_type_lists.build.build_card_type
end
def show
#card = Card.find(params[:id])
end
def create
#card = Card.new(card_params)
if #card.save
redirect_to #card
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def card_params
params.require(:card).permit(:name, :set, {:card_types => []}, :color, :cost, :rarity,:oracle,:value, :number_owned,:notes)
end
end
Should be:
class CardTypeList < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :card
belongs_to :card_type #Singular
end
Some more things to think about:
Does your join model have the correct columns?
You should use accepts_nested_attributes_for
Look at how you're calling the data
Schema
Join models in has_many :through have to have foreign_key references to both models they're joining. The way you do this is to use a schema like this:
card_types_lists
id | card_id | card_type_id | other | information | created_at | updated_at
When you mentioned the error no such column: card_type_lists.card_types_id, it generally means you either don't have the correct column in the db, or your reference is incorrect. Looking at it, it's your association (referencing plural instead of singular)(fixed above)
Forms
Something you should consider is using accepts_nested_attributes_for to send the correct data to the nested models
This is when you want to create some records in either model, and works by allowing you to define "new" objects for your other models in your parent model, passing the data to your child models, like this:
#app/models/card.rb
Class Card < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :card_type_lists
has_many :card_types, through: :card_type_lists
accepts_nested_attributes_for :card_type_lists
end
#app/models/card_type_list.rb
Class CardTypeList < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :card
belongs_to :card_type
accepts_nested_attributes_for :card_type
end
#app/controllers/cards_controller.rb
def new
#card = Card.new
#card.card_types_lists.build.build_card_type
end
Data
If you want to show your associative data correctly, you should try this:
#app/views/cards/show.html.erb
<%= #card.card_types %>
