Question

I am very new to Ruby on Rails and I’m trying to access the scores from a specific Organization. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direct of being able to accomplish this. I currently have the following Models:

Here is the User Model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :fname, :lname, :email, :password, :password_confirmation
 has_secure_password
 belongs_to :organization

Here is the Organization Model

class Organization < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :name, :employee_number, :country, :postal_code, :sic_code, :primary_url
 has_many :users
 has_many :social_entities
 has_many :social_scores, :through => :social_entity  
 has_many :social_channels, :through => :social_entity

Here is the Entity Model

class SocialEntity < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :name, :org_id
 has_many :social_channels
 has_many :social_scores  
 belongs_to :organization

Here is the Channel Model

class SocialChannel < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :authorized, :channel_identifier, :channel_type, :name, :social_entity_id
 belongs_to :social_entity  # edited from original post, :socialentity

Here is the Score Model

class SocialScore < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :engagement_score, :popularity_score, :presence_score, :reputation_score,   :score_period_end, :score_period_start, :score_period_type, :score_timestamp, :social_entity
 belongs_to :social_entity

Here is a description of what I am trying to do. A User logs into the system, the user is tied to a organization, each organization has a social entity which has social channels and scores. I want to be able to display the scores for the organization in the view.

Answer 1

If you have an instance of Organization, the has_many declaration creates an attribute (a method, really) that gets a collection of SocialScores, referenced by social_scores, e.g.

@org = Organization.find(:first)  # or however else it is that you get the organization instance
@org.social_scores.each do |ss|
   puts "Popularity score for id #{ss.id} is #{ss.popularity_score}"
end

Is that what you were seeking?
