问题
I have successfully been able to implement the addition of new artist entries which was not included in Ryan Bates railscast #258 http://railscasts.com/episodes/258-token-fields
So in other words, a user can enter an artist name which will autocomplete using jquery tokinput. However, I'd like the autocomplete results to only display the artist names which were created by that individual user.
Does this make sense? An better and more understandable example would be for a collection.rb, where users create posts and specify a 'collection' for the post to belong to, but they should only be able to add posts to the collections which they created themselves.
This is the post form with artist_tokens as a virtual attribute:
<%= form_for @post, :validate => true, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', :object => f.object %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title, 'Title:' %><br />
<%= f.text_field :title %><br />
<%= f.label :artist_tokens, "Artists" %><br />
<%= f.text_field :artist_tokens, "data-pre" =>
@post.artists.map(&:attributes).to_json %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Submit" %>
</div>
<% end %>
This finds the artist by the value entered into the artist_tokens field on the post form, and I also added the option "Add {params[:q]}" to add new entries.
class ArtistsController < ApplicationController
def index
@artists = Artist.where("name like ?", "%#{params[:q]}%")
results = @artists.map(&:attributes)
results << {:name => "Add: #{params[:q]}", :id => "CREATE_#{params[:q]}_END"}
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json { render :json => results }
end
end
I added the additional code to parse the 'new' entries by id and then create a new artist with them. Then the artist_ids are assigned again.
post.rb
def artist_tokens=(ids)
ids.gsub!(/CREATE_(.+?)_END/) do
Artist.create!(:name => $1).id
end
self.artist_ids = ids.split(",")
end
Everything works great except the ability to narrow the json results by only the current_user's entries. How would I go about doing this? Do I need to store the user_id of the entries creator in the table? How can I do this?
EDIT: associations for models
# app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
has_many :artists, :through => :posts
end
# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :artisanships
has_many :artists, :through => :artisanships
end
# all/models/artist.rb
class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :artisanships
has_many :users, :through => :artisanships
has_many :posts, :through => :artisanships
end
# app/models/artisanship.rb
class Artisanships < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
belongs_to :artist
has_one :user, :through => :post
end
EDIT: posts_controller.rb
class PostsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_user!, :only => [:create, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_filter :authorized_user, :only => [:destroy, :edit, :update]
def create
@user = current_user
@post = current_user.posts.build(params[:post])
if @post.save
flash[:success] = "Post created!"
redirect_to root_path
else
@feed_items = current_user.feed.paginate(:per_page => "10", :page => params[:page])
render 'pages/home'
end
end
def index
@posts = Post.paginate(:page => params[:page])
end
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def edit
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @post.update_attributes(params[:post])
format.html { redirect_to(post_path(@post), :notice => 'Post was successfully updated.') }
else
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
end
end
end
def destroy
@post.destroy
redirect_to root_path
end
def likers
@title = "Likers"
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@likers = @post.likers.paginate(:page => params[:page])
render 'show_likers'
end
def search
if params[:q]
query = params[:q]
@search = Post.search do
keywords query
end
@posts = @search.results
end
end
private
def authorized_user
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
redirect_to root_path unless current_user?(@post.user)
end
Edit: Attempted alias_method_chain to set post's user_id attribute first. (didn't work to fix the NULL db entries) referneced from: Rails 3: alias_method_chain still used?
def attributes_with_user_id_first=(attributes = {})
# Make sure not to accidentally blank out the important_attribute when none is passed in
if attributes.include?(:user_id)
self.user_id = attributes.delete(:user_id)
end
self.attributes_without_user_id_first = attributes
end
alias_method_chain :attributes=, :user_id_first
回答1:
If you don't want to modify anything in your models, then you can do it like this:
def index
@artists = current_user.posts.join("artisianships").join("artists").
where("artisianships.post_id = posts.id").
where("artists.name like ?", "#{params[:q]}").
select("artists.name as name, artists.id as id")
results = @artists.map(&:attributes)
results << {:name => "Add: #{params[:q]}", :id => "CREATE_#{params[:q]}_END"}
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json { render :json => results }
end
end
Notice that there are a lot of joins going on here, so not recommended.
To debug why Artist.create!(:name => $1, :user_id => self.user_id) would not work, it would be great if we can see some more code, particularly the action to create a Post
UPDATE: Did you try changing PostController#create to following, although I feel curent code should work as it is,
@post = current_user.posts.build
if @post.update_attributes(params[:post])
# do something
else
# do something else
end
I am not a rails pro and don't understand the alias_method_chain so can't comment on why it didn't work.
回答2:
if you're using some authentication solution like devise, clearance or authlogic, you probably already have current_user method. Therefore add a column user_id:integer to the Artist model and do the following:
#User model
has_many :artists
#Artist model
belongs_to :user
#Artists controller
def index
@artists = current_user.artists.where("name like ?", "%#{params[:q]}%") #this answers your question!
... blah blah
end
And of course do not forget to set the user_id column when you create an artist.
