Self referential (n-n relationship) belongs many controller

Rails
1

Hi all,

I ve some troubles in my small acpplication (only 2 tables).

I want to follow up tasks but these tasks are linked to others tasks.
So I ve tried to do store the nn relationship in other table called
links

1st table : tasks

columns : id | infos neutral… (as title, description etc …)

model :

class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :statut
has_many :links
has_many :tasklinks , :through => :links
end

2e table : links

columns : id | task_id | tasklink_id

so in this table, the tasklink_id are the key for the associated tasks
to task_id

model :

class Link < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :task
belongs_to :tasklink, :class_name => ‘Task’, :foreign_key =>
‘tasklink_id’
end

I have to link the tasks in a kind of auto join in nn relationship (1-n
can be easily solved with act_as_tree)

so …

THE PROBLEM :

I ve my problem in the create and update of task controller :
rows in table links are not created (or badly : task_id is ok, but
tasklink_id is KO)

Here is my tasks_controller :

class TasksController < ApplicationController

helper :sorting

def index
list
@statuts=Statut.find_all
render :action => ‘list’
end

GETs should be safe (see

URIs, Addressability, and the use of HTTP GET and POST)
verify :method => :post, :only => [ :destroy, :create, :update ],
:redirect_to => { :action => :list }
def list
@task_pages, @tasks = paginate :tasks, :per_page => 50
@statuts=Statut.find_all

    @sorter = SortingHelper::Sorter.new(self, params['sort'],

params[‘order’], ‘id’, ‘ASC’)
search = {:id => @params[:id], :statut_id => @params[:statut_id],
:description => @params[:description], :acteur => @params[:acteur]}

if search[:id] && search[:id] != ''
  query ||= []
  query_params ||= []
  query << "id = ?"
  query_params += [search[:id]]
end
if search[:statut_id] && search[:statut_id] != ''
  query ||= []
  query_params ||= []
  query << "statut_id = ?"
  query_params += [search[:statut_id]]
end
if search[:description] && search[:description] != ''
  query ||= []
  query_params ||= []
  query << "description LIKE ?"
  query_params += ["%" + search[:description] + "%" ]
end
if search[:acteur] && search[:acteur] != ''
  query ||= []
  query_params ||= []
  query << "acteur LIKE ?"
  query_params += ["%" + search[:acteur] + "%" ]
end

@conditions = [ query * ' AND '] + query_params if query
@task_pages, @tasks = paginate :tasks,
   :per_page => 50, :order => @sorter.to_sql, :conditions =>

@conditions

end
def show
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
@statuts = Statut.find_all
#c est la loose ici

end
def new
@task = Task.new
#sapin
@link = Link.new
#sapin
@links = Link.find_all
@statuts = Statut.find_all
@tasks = Task.find_all
@sorter = SortingHelper::Sorter.new(self, params[‘sort’],
params[‘order’], ‘tasklink_id’, ‘ASC’)
end
def create
@task = Task.new(params[:task])
@link = Link.new(params[:link])
@links = Link.find_all
@tasks = Task.find_all
@statuts = Statut.find_all

#if @params[:task_ids]
#@task.tasklinks = Task.find(params[:task_ids])
#else
#@substance.risques = []
#end
#ca foire un max
if @task.save

@link.task_id = @task.id
@link.tasklink_id = Task.find(???).task_id
@link.save

flash[:notice] = ‘L action a été créée’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
flash[:warn]=“l action n a pas été créee”
render :action => ‘new’
end

end
def edit
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
@statuts = Statut.find_all
@tasks = Task.find_all
@links = Link.find_all
@sorter = SortingHelper::Sorter.new(self,
params[‘sort’], params[‘order’], ‘task_id’, ‘ASC’)

                @task_pages, @tasks = paginate :tasks,
   :per_page => 50, :order => @sorter.to_sql, :conditions =>

@conditions
end
def update
@task = Task.find(params[:id])
@statuts = Statut.find_all

if @task.update_attributes(params[:task])
  flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully updated.'
  redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @task
else
  render :action => 'edit'
end

end
def destroy
Task.find(params[:id]).destroy
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
end
