how would I do it in the controller? |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:59 |
ricksaccous |
if you really need it in the entity you can have an arbitrary function that sets a field given an argument |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:59 |
ricksaccous |
it would make sense to do it in the controller |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:58 |
ricksaccous |
or where do you want to pass the argument |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:58 |
ricksaccous |
the view? |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:58 |
ricksaccous |
where are you passing the argument in anyway |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:58 |
ricksaccous |
contain the posts and order it, i suppose limiting it by 1 won't have an effect |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:57 |
ricksaccous |
can't you do this in the controller/model level |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:57 |
risingtide |
yes |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:57 |

so forums have multiple projects |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:57 |
ricksaccous |
so projects habtm forums |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
risingtide |
but each project has its own forum, but many projects can have the same forum |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
ricksaccous |
oh, so i suppose you could if you did it from projects, lol |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
risingtide |
it's a basic forum model |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
risingtide |
and threads |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
risingtide |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:56 |
risingtide |
no, not really |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:55 |
ricksaccous |
is that something you can do? |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:55 |
ricksaccous |
and then have the entity read that field? |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:55 |
ricksaccous |
set a flag for show_latest_post or something |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:55 |
ricksaccous |
why don't you describe that in the project table itself or something |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:55 |
risingtide |
I just want it from one specific project |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:54 |
risingtide |
but it shows them from all projects |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:54 |
risingtide |
it works how I had it in the Entity when I take away the argument |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:54 |
risingtide |
yes |
| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:54 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:54 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:53 |
risingtide |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:53 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:53 |
risingtide |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:52 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:51 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:51 |
risingtide |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:51 |
ricksaccous |

| # |
Oct 10th 2019, 18:51 |
