Betternestedset talk - Mar 2007 - Counting Children

Hi All,
  I decided to move to rails 1.2.2 and Better nested sets stable v50
or 0.1.  Everything has been working as it should except this :

  <%= project.children_count %>


Here is the error:

undefined method `children_count'' for #<Project:0xb68649c4>

Thanks!

Hi Nick,

The short story is that I broke it and Fabien fixed it again in rev
51. However, children_count now returns the number of _direct_
children (as one would expect), while all_children_count returns the
total number of nested children. I don''t like breaking compatibility
by changing methods like that, but the old children_count was
misleading and inconsistent with acts_as_tree.

Ironically, now that children_count is working I''m using
all_children_count to get the behavior that I need.

Thanks to everyone for all the help!
