Hi have a table named category which has two foreign keys to the table user, structure is given below. How can I get the user name corresponding to created_by and modified_by by using relations. @category = Category.find(params[:id])
is giving only the details from the category table. My current model class is
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "Title already exist"
validates_presence_of :title, :message => "Cannot be blank"
belongs_to :user
end
How can I associate both the fields created_by and modified_by to the user model
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `categories` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`created_by` int(11) unsigned default NULL,
`modif开发者_C百科ied_by` int(11) unsigned default NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `created_by` (`created_by`),
UNIQUE KEY `modified_by` (`modified_by`)
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`username` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`usertype_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `usertype_id` (`usertype_id`)
)

-- Constraints for table `categories`
--
ALTER TABLE `categories`
ADD CONSTRAINT `categories_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`created_by`) REFERENCES `users` (`id`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE CASCADE,
ADD CONSTRAINT `categories_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`modified_by`) REFERENCES `users` (`id`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE CASCADE;
This should work for you:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
# ...
validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "Title already exist"
validates_presence_of :title, :message => "Cannot be blank"
belongs_to :creator, :foreign_key => 'created_by', :class_name => 'User'
belongs_to :editor, :foreign_key => 'modified_by', :class_name => 'User'
# ...
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# ...
has_many :created_categories, :class_name => 'Category', :foreign_key => 'created_by'
has_many :modified_categories, :class_name => 'Category', :foreign_key => 'modified_by'
# ...
end
