ONLamp.com has finally published part 2 of my Rails article! You can find it here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/03/rails.html It would be really nice if we could get this slash dotted again before the weekend. >From what I understand, you''re more likely to get accepted when multiple people submit something. So, to anyone who has the inclination: if you would submit

I have a model "Childmodel" that belongs_to two other models "Parent1" and "Parent2". "Parent1" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp1" and "Parent2" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp2". i.e. The child is independently positioned within each of its parents. This works fine and gets me the useful

right now i''m adding an item to my ''list'' but i''m unsure how to move it to a certain spot in the list. specifically i want to put it at the bottom of the list. i assumed that if i did something like parent.children << new_child then the ''position'' field in the child table would be given some sensible default by rails but instead

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

Here''s my issue: running ruby -I test test/unit/something_test.rb for each of my unit tests works perfectly. However, running rake test:units brings errors in all of them - some object becomes nil for some reason. Why might this be happening? Specifics: the object that is successfully not nil when I run the unit tests one-by-one but becomes nil when I do rake test:units is defined like

Hi, I have the following models class Department < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :products end class Product < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :department acts_as_list :scope => :department_id'' end When I look at a list of products for a particular department I have up and down buttons to re-order the products. Currently my controller is something like this class

I was curious if there was a built in feature in ActiveRecord or a plugin, but I basically have a database for phone numbers. I want a user to be able to make a phone number as main. There can only be one phone number marked as main at all times. Is there something for this?

find_by_sql BREAKS THE OOP BEAUTY and perhaps we can solve that. NAMING CONVENTIONS can perhaps make find_by_sql much more clever. lets imagine that relation: publishers <- books <-> authors_books <-> authors -> universities (can''t find something else than university for that last association :) ) imagine we want to fetch every book and every associated

So I seem to be having an issue with trying to install acts_as_list in rails 2.2.2?

Hi, [reposting to list, posting via google groups apparently didn''t work] I''m trying to use acts_as_list for the first time. Can anyone confirm the odd behaviour reported here? http://blog.nominet.org.uk/tech/Web/2006/03/06/Using_acts_as_list_in_... i.e. element access and move_higher require an odd indexing scheme to work. I''m personally finding that I

I am trying to install acts_as_list in a rails 2.2.2 project but when I try the following: ruby script/plugin install acts_as_list I get: Plugin not found: ["acts_as_list"] I had to download the acts_as_list plugin from the github because it isn''t included in Rails 2.2.2.

Hello all, The topic of plugin dependencies has come up before and it doesn''t seem to have been addressed by core or core doesn''t seem to think it''s an issue. I''ve looked at the current edge code and don''t see anything new, so if I''ve missed something *please* let me know. The following article makes mention of a require_plugin

I''m using Shoulda. After copying the code here.... .... http://joshuaclayton.github.com/code/2009/07/14/should-act-as-list.html.... into my test_helper file so I can test acts_as_list, I came across issues. For one I realized I had to get rid of the _ between the "should" and "have" in past cases, but here, I get this error when I run my unit test:

Lets say I have 3 models, user, user_group and user_group_nodes. A normal user has one user_group_id as a foreign key and a special user has multiple user_groups which are defined in the user_group_nodes. The user_group_nodes is a "acts_as_list" for user and contains a list of group_ids. When I build a form to get user input and I want to save it, is there a way to validate the

Hi, I''m a newbie in both Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I finished the Ruby on Rail Tutorial on Todo list and it was great. But, now I''m trying to understand the logic behind it, that is something that is not obvious on how each one of them ties together. Is there a flowchart that shows how the inner working of Ruby on Rails? In another words, let''s suppose we consider the

I miss the svn:externals feature when installing plugins that are managed under git. the -x switch used to do this. I''ve released a gem called externals that manages subprojects in an scm agnostic way so that I can use an svn:externals-like workflow with git. It''s used like this: ext install git://github.com/rails/acts_as_list.git This accomplishes the same thing as:
