I''m thinking that it would be possible to check that acts_as_list instance methods have been added to a class using something like this: describe Page, "acts_as_list" do it "should act as a list" do Page.ancestors.should be_include(ActiveRecord::Acts::List::Ins...

Hi, If I have a db table categories - id - name - parent_id - position is it alright to have the Category model act_as_tree and for each level act_as_list? class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :parent_id end Thanks, Peter

As such, you will note that there are a lot of relationships between the differing tables as well as inner-table relationships. The thing is that i am not sure if the Act As functionality (act_as_list) will be enough to pull the data as needed and to be as clean and simple as OR is suppose to be. Any advice.. or even simple smack in the right direction would be highly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
