Hi... Isn''t there a proper way or hack/workaround for the following? * For the example with unfortunate disabilities.. look below,,, Usage of has_* (associationmethods) do {def with_deleted AccociatedModel#with_scope} {Paranoid''s#find_with_deleted}... The has_one associations give me a nil object when invoking it with Model.association_OBJECT.with_deleted. Has_many does like expected: Model.association_COLLECTION.with_deleted. * Example: The disability of my approach you see below after the lines with ########### signs.. First on to: clas...

...-------END In a controller I did the following calls: Book.find(:all) # SQL: SELECT * FROM books WHERE ((books.updated_at > ''2006-05-08 11:38:33'') AND (books.deleted_at IS NULL)) Book.find_with_old(:all) # SQL: SELECT * FROM books WHERE (books.deleted_at IS NULL) Book.find_with_deleted(:all) # SQL: SELECT * FROM books Isn''t is strange? Shouldn''t "Book.find_with_deleted(:all)" generate a "WHERE (books.updated_at > ''2006-05-08 11:38:33'')" condition? The problem seems to be in aliasing of find. When I switch the call o...

Trying this straight from the README: I have acts_as_paranoid in my model (Course), and added the deleted_at column. This is OK: Course.find_with_deleted(:all) Course.find(:all, :with_deleted => true) gives: ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): with_deleted from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/ active_support/core_ext/hash/keys.rb:49:in `assert_valid_keys'' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0....

I''m using act_as_paranoid plugin for most of my models. One of the reasons was that I didn''t want to break references between objects after I "deleted" an object. One of the cases was to know which user modified something even after I deleted the user. My problem now is that I cannot access the user after it was deleted if I use the :has_and_belongs_to :user

...r Rails 1.0. I had to remove the code that lets deleted items select associated deleted items unfortunately. It overwrote too much in the base association classes and caused some breakage. I say if you want to use your deleted models, undelete them and use them. Or: @deleted_project.developers.find_with_deleted(:all, ....) -- rick http://techno-weenie.net

Acts_as_soft_deletable is a rails plugin that provides the ability to soft delete or disable models. When models are destroyed, they will be archived so that they can later be restored easily. Its similar to acts_as_paranoid but uses a different approach that should make it a little more foolproof. See the README at the following url for a better description. github url:
