Re: Creation of Table Data From Rake

Rob,

Thanks mate.  I wanted to follow-up over here as well since you really 
did a great job helping me out with this issue.  Here's what I ended up 
doing:

Okay, after testing and testing, I finally managed to get it all to
work.  However, I'm sure my way is very clumsily implemented but it was
the only way I understood how to read the values and place them into the
table.

I called the following from Rake:

update_tsos_offense.table_update(TsosOffense, stats)  # model, # array

And in the model for table_update I did:

def table_update(model, array)

  if model.compiled_this_week.find(:all).empty?
    puts "Updating #{model} for the following teams:"
    120.times do |i|
      team = Team.find(i + 1)
      values = {:compiled_on => Date.today.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}
      values[:team_id] = i + 1
      values[:totoff] = array[i + 1][:totoff]
      values[:rushoff] = array[i + 1][:rushoff]
      values[:passoff] = array[i + 1][:passoff]
      values[:scoroff] = array[i + 1][:scoroff]
      values[:rzonoff] = array[i + 1][:rzonoff]
      values[:fumlost] = array[i + 1][:fumlost]
      values[:passhint] = array[i + 1][:passhint]
      values[:tolost] = array[i + 1][:tolost]
      values[:sacksall] = array[i + 1][:sacksall]
      values[:tackflossall] = array[i + 1][:tackflossall]
      values[:passeff] = array[i + 1][:passeff]
      values[:firdwns] = array[i + 1][:firdwns]
      values[:thrdwncon] = array[i + 1][:thrdwncon]
      values[:fthdwncon] = array[i + 1][:fthdwncon]
      model.create values
      puts "#{team.name} values are being saved."
    end
  else
    # data is already populated for the week so don't update
    puts "Current Week's Ratings are Already updated!"
  end
end

I had to add 1 because the i count started at 0.  I also couldn't use
the constant or iterate using each or each_with_index because one, I
couldn't get it to sort.

This way does work though and so I'm happy that it at least is
functioning.  Although, I'm sure it can use some cleanup.  Please let me 
know if anyone sees a way for me to make this code a bit cleaner.

Many thanks Rob.
