I am struggling with how to do eager loading of an acts_as_tree model. If the model Stuff acts_as_tree I know I can do this to get children as well: Stuff.find(:all, :include => :children) But what if the model I am including is the one that acts_as_tree? For example, say Picture belongs_to Category. Category acts_as_tree and I want to get all pictures that are members of a category that

Hello Experts, I have a tree of categories in this category object there is a property called type. the root categories have no type but the children have. so how I can get all the roots with filled in children that have category type = ''B'' for instance.

Hello, I''m trying to create categories that have their own subcategories, and each subcategory may have its own subcategories, .. and so on. After some reading, I found out that the best way for creating such a thing is to use acts_as_tree, but I didn''t find any tutorial or article that explain this in a clear way. After a lot of work I was finally able to create categories and

Hi, I''m using the latest gem version of rails under MacOS Tiger. I was trying to use acts_as_tree as described in the rails book. So I have something like: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "title" end create table categories ( id int not null auto_increment, title

i am making a category tree and i iterate over the category using my counter_cache however it would show a different number than what was actually being represetned in the tree.

Hi, I''m trying to implement a very simple acts_as_tree search in my index html. I am able to show the parents, with no issue, but the children will not show. I have something like this for the parent, which displays fine: <% for group in Group.roots %> <td> <tr> <a href="#" onclick="Effect.BlindDown(''show_<%=

I''m using acts_as_tree to maintain a hierarchy of categories (each top-level category can contain multiple categories and each sub-category can contain multiple sub-categories, etc.). I want to be able to find all parents of a particular category. I realize that I can use @category.parent or even @category.parent.parent to move up in the hierarchy, but I need this to happen dynamically

I''m using acts_as_tree to nest categories n-levels deep and am wondering if anyone out there in Ruby-land knows the best, least expensive way to start with top level categories and then loop recursively through each category going as many levels deep as needed, and then moving to the next top level category, etc. Thanks, Josh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m working with acts_as_tree to print an unordered list of items: Root -- Child ---- Child I''ve got this working, however I''d like to know if there is a more elegant fashion that I''m unaware of: #Takes a parent category and recursivley returns all children def find_all_subcategories(category) if category.children.size > 0

Hi, I''m using the new(?) as_json methods within a rest api I am working on. However I am not sure how you are supposed to, or whether it is designed to handle multiple variations of association inclusion. For example I have a model using acts_as_tree, so that each instance has children and a parent: class CatalogueCategory < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree JSON_ATTRS =

Hi all, I have a simple Category model which acts_as_tree. In the form partial, I use a select form helper to display all the categories so that the user can choose a parent category. This works fine, but when I submit the form, I get an AssociationTypeMismatch It seems that the parent id that I pass back into the controller is being treated as a String, rather than finding the appropriate

My database is set up as Categories > Things associated by category_id and has_many and belongs_to. How would I go about listing all the categories and under each Category is it''s children? Is there an easy rails way to do this - preferably without using acts as tree? Any help is appreciated - thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am working on an Rails application that uses a pretty complex category structure through out the site. I have defined a table to house all the info and a FK to reference parents within the table CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL, parent_id int(11) default NULL, constraint fk_category_id foreign key (category_id) references

Hi, If I have a db table categories - id - name - parent_id - position is it alright to have the Category model act_as_tree and for each level act_as_list? class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :parent_id end Thanks, Peter

I want to implement a unique category tree per user in my system, and I was hoping to use "acts_as_tree" on my category model. It seems as if acts_as_tree makes the assumption that the entire table the model is off of is one large tree. I actually want each user to have their own category trees all stored in the category table so I need it to scope off of the user_id.

Validation does not appear to execute on a call to "parent.children.create". Anyone know if this is intentional, or am I doing something wacky? Thanks. -Theo

Hello people on rails, I am developing a web interface for a database that has hierarchical data. I want the user to be able to browse the tree (~1300 nodes) and activate/deactivate and showing/hiding groups of nodes (like selecting one node selects all the children and the leafs). So I have a tree of objects (ActiveRecord acts_as_tree). Because I need the tree to be persistent and I
