ruby on rails - has_many nested form with a has_one nested form within it -


i trying make form model, has dynamic number of nested models. i'm using nested forms (as described in railscasts 197). make things more complicated, each of nested models has has_one association third model, added form.

for wondering on normalization or improper approach, example simplified version of problem i'm facing. in reality, things more complex, , approach we've decided take.

some example code illustrate problem below:

#models class test    attr_accessible :test_name, :test_description, :questions_attributes   has_many :questions   accepts_nested_attributes_for :questions end  class question   attr_accessible :question, :answer_attributes   belongs_to :test   has_one :answer   accepts_nested_attributes_for :answer end  class answer   attr_accessible :answer   belongs_to :question end  #controller class testscontroller < applicationcontroller    #get /tests/new   def new     @test = test.new     @questions = @test.questions.build     @answers = @questions.build_answer   end  end  #view <%= form_for @test |f| %>   <%= f.label :test_name %>   <%= f.text_box :test_name %>   <%= f.label :test_description %>   <%= f.text_area :test_description %>   <%= f.fields_for :questions |questions_builder| %>     <%= questions_builder.label :question %>     <%= questions_builder.text_box :question %>       <%= questions_builder.fields_for :answer |answers_builder| %>         <%= answers_builder.label :answer %>         <%= answers_builder.text_box :answer %>       <% end %>   <% end %>   <%= link_to_add_fields 'new', f, :questions %> <% end %>

this code example works first instance of question. issue occurs when question dynamically added created; answer fields not displayed. believe because built first question in controller. there way achieve using nested_attributes?

i solved own issue here. did was, instead of building answer model in controller (which impossible when not know how many questions going made in view), built when calling fields_for:

#controller class testscontroller < applicationcontroller    #get /tests/new   def new     @test = test.new     @questions = @test.questions.build   end  end  #view <%= form_for @test |f| %>   <%= f.label :test_name %>   <%= f.text_box :test_name %>   <%= f.label :test_description %>   <%= f.text_area :test_description %>   <%= f.fields_for :questions |questions_builder| %>     <%= questions_builder.label :question %>     <%= questions_builder.text_box :question %>     <%= questions_builder.fields_for :answer, @questions.build_answer |answers_builder| %>       <%= answers_builder.label :answer %>       <%= answers_builder.text_box :answer %>     <% end %>   <% end %>   <%= link_to_add_fields 'new', f, :questions %> <% end %>

this works because no matter how many question forms being built on view, new answer specific question being built built.

Eclipse formatter for java ending braces -

i know if it's possible setup eclipse format braces using banner style. we're working code uses banner style formatting , keep consistent within team version control reasons. here's example of banner style formatting not familiar: public class foo { //------------------------ public static void main (string[] args) { boolean condition = true; try { if (condition) { system.out.println ("condition true"); } else system.out.println ("not condition"); } catch (exception ex) { // handle errors } } //------------------------ } update: name style ratliff. experiment java->code style->formatter preferences. "banner style" seems poor use of space given outline view , quick outline functionality.

ruby - Nesting modules inside of a Rails eninge gem -

what proper syntax nest child modules within parent module being isolate_namespace rails engine gem? # lib/myengine/engine.rb module myengine class engine < rails::engine isolate_namespace myengine # def ... end end for example. parent module myengine , child module blog. myengine share common domain, crud, taggable, searchable, etc, keep gem code dry , isolated main app (myapp), while inheriting isolated namespace , engine. are either of 2 approaches correct? refactor advice? # # lib/myengine/blog.rb module myengine module blog # def ... end end # b # lib/myengine/blog.rb module myengine class engine < rails::engine isolate_namespace myengine module blog # def ... end end end option a. correct, should lib/my_engine/blog.rb . can read more ruby & rails naming conventions here . further, if want put more modules or classes under blog namespace put them in folder lib/my_engine/blog , nest them under myengine::bl...

php - Why I am getting the Error "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" -

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...
