DB fields not showing up in association custom queries?
- by Kevin
I have a notification list that the user can select different show options for different kinds of notifications along with how many results are returned. I'm keeping them in the user model because I want the custom sort to stay with the user between sessions. Here is the association in my user model:
has_many :notifications,
:class_name => "Notification",
:foreign_key => "user_id",
:conditions => ["won = ? and lost = ? and paid = ?", self.prefs_won, self.prefs_lost, self.prefs_paid],
:limit => self.prefs_results.to_s
But when I use the above code, Rails throws me an "unknown method" error for self.prefs_won. It is definitely a field in my database and set as a boolean value, but Rails can't find it... what's the problem?
