Rails - Apr 2005 - acts_as_list and single table inheritance

in a single table inheritance model, rails will automatically set the
scope for acts_as_list to the  ''type'' field as well as any
other scope
conditions we provide.

Is there a way to disable this? i want to use STI but I want
acts_as_list to disregard the class type when getting/setting
positions.

thanks

Set the scope manually.

acts_as_list :scope => :some_sql_condition_string_or_association_name

Hi

Can you provide a SQL example ?

I would like to get this working :

class Player < AR::Base
  acts_as_list :scope => ''type =
"#{self.class.to_s}"''
end

class BasketballPlayer < Player
end

class FootballPlayer < Player
end

>   acts_as_list :scope => ''type =
"#{self.class.to_s}"''
This should be

acts_as_list :scope => "type =
''#{self.class.name}''"

This is indeed the right class method. But this has no effect since
quotes and double quotes must be swapped, like :counter_sql parameter
in has_many (don''t know why...), else I get WHERE (type =
''Class'')
according to development.log
