Basically, the Playlist class uses one anonymous module in has_many that acts as helper between acts_as_list and my desired API: class Playlist < ActiveRecord::Base # associations go here has_many :playlist_items, :order => :position, :dependent => :destroy has_many

Just monkey patched Sprockets in our Rails 3.2.9 app to override the Cache-Control header for html assets that we need to tweak more often in development, but that we don''t want to use digests/fingerprinting with: # Sprockets 2.x patch if Rails.env.development? module Sprockets module Server private alias_method :sprockets_headers, :headers def headers(env,
