Hi, My question is a bit of wonder and a bit of enlightment. I have two models, Channel and ChannelItem, the second is a list of Events, ordered by position (because I''m using acts_as_list). Later I use a method in Channel to recalculate the hour when that show come online, based on the duration of it and doing math based on the previous one duration and start time, starting from 0:00. So, with this info (channel_items): id | channel_id | event_id | position | starttime 1...

Hi, I need to understand how to write an acts_as_XXX (similar to acts_as_tree) plugin Any good resource to get me started?

Hi, I am thinking about writing an acts_as_fox plugin that defines an after_find callback method. If I do this what will happen if a user creates a model that acts_as_fox but this model has it''s own after_find callback method? I imagine that the model''s after_find method shadows the plugin''s after_find. Presumabl...

...children could then have children. Pretty standard so far. Often a child tag will be under more than one parent (i.e. a child might belong toone or more parents) and it wouldn''t necessarily have the same children under one parent as it would in another. Do and of the current extensions (acts_as_tree, acts_as_nested_set, awesome_nested_set, etc) let a child have more than one parent? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, I am using salted hash login generator to create my login page. In the user_environment.rb file, I saw that there is a comment saying should NOT include the email field in the changeable user fields array.

I need an ordered (sortable tree) and I just was thinking if somehting like this is possible: class Item< ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "position" acts_as_list :scope => ''parent_id = #{self.id}'' end For my understanding mixing of two acts_as should be p?ssible, at least in this case, right? Unfortunatly the :scope is not working, I am not sure how to write the scope so that onl...

I am currently using activerecord without rails and I''d like to use the acts_as_ferret plugin as it works well with activerecord. How do I take advantage of the acts_as_ferret without rails installed? Is this possible? If someone could provide me with direction on how this would be done, that would be greatly appreciated. I assume that since active record works without ra...

Quick question: Given a basic plugin... how can I access an object that I instantiated in the acts_as method from an instance method? Probably some sort of accessor... but where? def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def acts_as_test object = Object.new ## This object needs to be accessible from the Instance Methods end include Acts::As::Test::Instan...

Hello! Sometime ago I ran across a webpage where someone had identified the full callback sequence for an object lifecycle including AASM with it''s :enter and :exit and whatnot callbacks. Unfortunately, I can''t find it and searches don''t seem to help. Does anyone have a reference to a page that shows the callback sequence with Acts As State Machine (the gem)? I think

I''m using a plugin which adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base http://similetimelinerailshelper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simile_timeline/ This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in ''regular Rails''. When I run script/backgroundrb start, I get an error saying that...

...y liked the simplicity of RubyOnRails, but sometimes you want something fast and everything is relative. After looking at Camping, RubyOnRails seems like a lot of work if you just want to test out a prototype of a small web app. One thing I do miss are all the pre-built plugins for Rails (such as acts_as_taggable). How easy is it to convert Rails plugins to work with Camping? I''ve done my first pass at searching for anything related to adapting Rails plugins for Camping but I only came up with some hackery around Dr. Nic''s Magic Models. Any finger pointing in the right directi...

I am developing a large scale financial application which is going to be very intensive write-wise, and use a lot of transactions. I can see how the the web and application servers can be scaled and load balanced quite easily, but not the database tier. The setups I have looked at so far seem to deal with coping with a lot of reads, and minimal writes - this maybe because they are largely

Hi, I''m starting to use Test::Unit to create unit tests for my Rails Applications/Plugins. I don''t have much experience in Ruby Unit Testing. The problem is that the output report is very simple and it is very difficult to discover where is the error. Test::Unit does not show the line number of the error and the Stack Trace printed using the --trace option does not help either.

...l be constrained NOT NULL. - Easily store temporal (historical) data, and not rely on ad-hoc schemes for recording previous information - Use class-table inheritance What I''m interested in is how feasible the possible solutions to these sound, and whether they could be implemented as acts_as plugins or would have to patch ActiveRecord directly. I''ve found that developers coming from C# or Java to Ruby and Rails get Rails-spoilt, in that Rails does so much for them they expect it to do EVERYTHING. So I want my solutions to be as straightforward and self-explanatory...
