Hello guys,
pretty simple:
table games:
team1_id
team2_id
table teams:
id
designation
which relations should i use to access the teams designations from the
game model ?
class Game < ActiveRecor::Base
has_many :teams
class Team < ActiveRecor::Base
belongs_to :game
call designation of a game like this
first get a game from the DB
@game = Game.find(params[:id])
@designations = @game.teams.collect(&:designation)

tried and got error:
undefined method `teams’ for nil:NilClass
isnt row names team1_id and team2_id a problem to call directly ?
Not sure if you noticed the typo. Its ActiveRecord::Base (the “d” was
missing in the answerer’s post).

That will only allow a team to be involved in one game, is that is
what is required?

brito yes i notices the typo.
colin, one game has two teams, team1_id and team2_id .
I wanted this the right way or else i make a helper method that returns
me the teams for each game, that’s not a big problem guys

Yes, my question was how many games can a team be involved with.
Radhames’ suggestion would only allow each team to be involved in one
game.

hum, well yes the relations is for a game to have many teams , but no
for
teams to be able to be involve in many game, is just that its not very
clear
what the requirements are and took this relation a a guide
table games:
team1_id
team2_id
is a game having the id of 2 teams specifically.
i see you want to have teams involve in many games also, it appears you
want
to save the designations per game, because if you keep the designation
in
the teams table when a team is designation is edited it will change
designations for pass games, so the best way to do it is to have a has
many
through relation with a designation table linking to the game and team
table.
class Game < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :designations
has_many :teams , :through => designations
class Team < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :designations
has_many :games , :through => designations
class designation < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :game
belongs_to :team
Designations are now per team and per game so if you update a game or a
team, designations in the past wont be affected.
if you want to save more details per team and per game , change the name
of
the designation table to something more general
and add all the fields that will be specific to the game played by those
teams, like if is baseball, you can put the score, the homeruns and so
on.
You could call the table statistics or something like that.
you can call a designation for a game with
first get a game from the DB
@game = Game.find(params[:id])
@designations = @game.designations
to see how this kind of relations are made you can watch this railscasts
