Hello. I''ve read about examples on inheritance with rails. Here is an example: http://juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/06/03/rails-single-table-inheritance/ The way is to add a type field in the table. So if I have an Animal class with an attribute name, I can inherit from this class like: Dog < Animal, Cat < Animal, and so on. With the type field in the table I can do Dog.all, Cat.all havin...

...ng to implement acts_as_rateable to my Beast installation to give users the option to rate posts (like reddit). I chose acts_as_rateable as it supposedly easily allows reddit-type voting but I''m having some problems setting it up and the documentation seems outdated. (http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-rateable-plugin/) So far, I''ve added acts_as_rateable to my posts model and I''ve added this method to my controller: def vote_up return unless logged_in? rateable = @rateable_class.find(params[:id]) # Delete the old ratings for current...

I have a model that has two properties that both come from the same database table. Let''s say I have a "Lead" model. This Lead has both a contact "State" (as in Colorado, Arkansas, etc.) and a "Property State" where the house he''s looking to refinance is located. Both of these should obviously be objects of the type "state".

I''ve been trying to add some rating capabilities to a site I''m working on, I''ve been following a few tutorials (one being http:// www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-rateable-plugin/) and I keep seeing something that''s confusing me. ---- from the tute : (in my ratings controller) post = Post.find(params[:id]) post.add_rating Rating.new(:rating => 2) If I place this in my code and update to match my models in my logs I...

Hi, I want to automate somewhat the addition of created_by/updated_by fields on my models (i.e. to include username). What''s the best/recommended way to do this? Would it be to: a) Find out how to extend the ActiveRecord::Base itself (I haven''t extended a class before yet) b) Use a plugin type approach where you have to add a tag manually to each model file which then

I''ve read previous posts to the list stating how Rails lacks multiple key support for database tables, and how support is not planned. I''m OK with that, but I''m wondering if there''s an elegant way to do what I need, for my in-house customer relationship management tool: I have an ACTIVITIES table. That table is a collection of individual, unique activities

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_from_args!(args) if options[:conditions].nil? options[:conditions] =

Hello all, I apologize if the answer to this question is going to be rudimentary, but I am thus far stymied by the information I have found on the web. This seems like it should be simple, but I haven''t really found an example of how to do this yet. I have a model called Account which has a belongs_to reference to another model, User, as below: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base

I now have the acts_as_commentable plugin up on RubyForge. This plugin will allow you to add comments to any active_record object in your Rails application.
