Hi, has anyone successfully used the acts_as_threaded plugin with postgresql? I''m using rails 1.0 and ruby 1.8.4 on linux. Following the screencast on http://www.railtie.net/articles/2006/02/05/rails-acts_as_threaded-plugin , I got to where we''re ready to create our first post, having made the changes to controllers/posts_control...

Hi, I have trouble accessing the acts_as_threaded plugin at http://railtie.net looks like the site is down. Does someone have a copy? or knows an alternative repository for the plugin? please you can zip it to to this address georgkam[at]gmail[dot]com Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-----...

...ate to rebuild the tree, each child insertion only affects the tree that it is placed in. It even comes with my first screencast to show how you can build an old school threaded forum. Check it out if you need this extended functionality. http://www.railtie.net/articles/2006/02/05/rails-acts_as_threaded-plugin It''s certainly possible that acts_as_nested_set can be massaged to provide this functionality, but I found it quicker and easier to build it myself. This is a 0.1 version and I haven''t created the unit tests for it yet. Please send bug reports and feature requests ba...

Does anyone have the magic sql to get pagination working with acts_as_threaded? Return like: 1 - parent 1.1 - response 1.1.1 - response to response 1.2 - response 2 - parent 2.1 - response etc... up to the first 20 or so. It seems easy to get from a parent to all children, but to say get the first 20 parents and children is really hard for me to get my head around. I...

I''m trying to use acts_as_nested_set, as modifed by Bob Silva to add threaded functionality. I''m getting the following error: undefined method `display_threads'' for #<PostController:0x3ae9828> ... #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/post_controller.rb:18:in `list'' Line 18 in post_controller.rb shows: [post_controller.rb] def list display_threads @posts

Where can I see the API acts_as_nested_set constructs? I''ve read its page in api.rubyonrails.com but I don''t see how to manage the tree from there. -- fxn

I have a model using acts_as_tree which is working fine. Being new to Ruby I''m don''t know what enumerator is best to use for traversing a tree by depth. I can write one, but before I do I wanted to know if there is there an enumerator for traversing trees available that the community recommends? Thank you, Jose -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a forum-type application. The Board model has many comments, the Comments model acts as a tree. So I have a board with multiple comments, some comments are parent comments and there are comments that belong to a parent comment, making up a thread. Like most forums, I want it so that threads are sorted based on the date of their last comment. But I have no idea how to specify this in

...'m currently using acts_as_tree to display threaded Comments on my forums-like site. It''s waaay too slow to display a page with 1,000 comments, as it''s issuing a TON of selects. I''m pretty sure I want to convert to the nested set model, using acts_as_nested_set or acts_as_threaded. This should give me the performance I''m looking for. The problem, of course, is the adjacency model that is used by acts_as_tree only has parent_id, it doesn''t have the left/right data needed by the nested set model. Has anyone seen or written an algorithm that can process...

I''m interested in working on a message board application that uses ruby on rails. I''d like to see something end up similar to vBullieten, but with more of a 37signals type of less-is-more philosophy... mostly meaning less need for preferences and settings and configurations. I''ve checked rubyforge, and it looks like there are various forum apps uploaded there, some

Using the acts_as_paranoid plugin with rails 1.1.4 (model also uses acts_as_threaded and acts_as_taggable) and getting some unexplainable behavior. The following tests: assert_equal Conv.count, num assert_equal Conv.count_with_deleted, CONVS_TOTAL Produce the following SQL: SQL (0.000000) SELECT count(*) AS count_all FROM convs WHERE (( convs.deleted_at IS NULL OR con...

Hi, I''m trying to use counter caching in a tree structure (in this case Bob Silva''s threaded list). This is the definition: class Folder < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_threaded has_many :files end I would like each parent to have the total count of all the childrens member. So when inserting a new file I update the file_count following the parent_id through all the folders until I reach root. (Looking into the db I see the correct values so this seems to work). B...

...s project. First, all the documentation I can find restricts a nested_set to one root node, and a threaded forum would have many roots. Also, without a ton of fancy sql or an ungodly amount of db calls, it doesn''t track the depth. Is my understanding of nested sets correct? I created an acts_as_threaded to get around these "limitations" which performs well for this scenario, just curious if nested_set could also have been used if I had a better understanding of it.

Is ForumExample ( http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ForumExample/ ) the best jumping off point for building in basic commenting functionality? Thanks, Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Guys, So creating a forums application seems like something that rails can handle easily and well, and whatever implementation that came to fruition would be head and shoulders above existing products like vBulliten and phpBB. Even the existing rails forums are using php-based forum products! An insult if you ask me. So my question -- is there any current development of a rails-based
