Hi! I am writing an acts_as_ plugin and i need to access session data from it. But i cant find any information if this is possible? And if it is, how. Cheers! Mathias

does anyone know of any documentation other than the article on the wiki about how to write an acts-as_* plugin? the code in the wiki article is good enough to get me started but I''d like to understand the code rather than just copy it. thanks alan

I am creating forum application which needs usage of acts_as_list or acts_as_tree or acts_as_nested_set. I am unable to decide among these. please could some one recommend from their experience? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m writing an acts_as_* plugin and am trying to BDD it. Ideally my specs would look like: describe ActsAsCloneable, " basic cloning" do load_example_classes School.class_eval do acts_as_cloneable end before(:each) do @old_school = School.create! :name => "Baylake Pines", :city =&...

...xt_month_str) - 1 end end However, this is Ruby on Rails, and I''m trying to break all my old programming habits like making ugly code, and this looks ugly. Is there a way to make this into some kind of plugin so that all I have to do is say: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_expiration_date :exp_date end and it will automatically do what I want behind the scenes?

I had some concerns about breaking Rails table relationships (:has_many, :has_and_belongs_to_many, :belongs_to, :acts_as_*, etc) when moving multiple databases (using the same application) into one. I seem to be stuck when trying to wrap my head around a good database design for what I would like to do or if I am just completely not thinking straight. I guess this isn''t related specifically to Rails but to o...

...ML serialization of ''123-456-7890''>); Some areas for discussion: - Is there an easier way to do this? - Should I use one set of tables (as above) or do away with the ar_class and have a person_property and person_property_value table? - Would this best be implemented as an acts_as_, a plugin, an ActiveRecord::Base extension, or what? Extending AR is a learning experience for me.

Hello, Lets say you have a few models like Post, Article, Wiki, Comment, And you want to use ferret to search all of them at once. How would I set up the latest acts_as_ferret to accomplish this? And what would be fastest for searches? 1 index for all models, or have an index per model? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...ogical order I would have to use a table column just to store this order. My experience with position indices of this kind is that it can lead to inconsistencies in the database so I am reluctant to use such a solution. So my question is this: Is there a way (preferrably implemented similar to acts_as_*) to specify data structure with links within a certain level of the tree, maybe using equivalents of previousSibling and nextSibling as references to other items in the same table, as well as a parent reference? Grateful for help, regards Erik Lindblad -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.co...

Are there best practices for testing that the model class declares the appropriate association linkages? Similarly are there good ways to test that the model has declared desired acts_as_[list | tree]? My first thought was to simply test if the model respond_to? either a characteristic method of the association or even a more complete list of methods. This would seem to be in-line with duck-typing, but it also feels a little cumbersome. So how do you test-drive your asso...

Hi there, I love the acts_as_* family that rails uses. I''ve also found I can create something similar by dropping the following code into my activerecord classes: class MyClass < ActiveRecord::Base class << self alias_method :count_with_unapproved, :count end def self.find(*args) options = extract_options_f...
