similar to: include ClassMethods in plugins

I''m trying to figure out how to use modules with my model classes. I''m going to have good number of model classes that don''t map to the database, and I''d like to put some of these in seperate modules. I''ve been wrestling with this for 2 days and can''t figure out how to get it to work. Rails seems to handle it fine for controllers, though. I

I''m curious, but isn''t this example in the documentation for ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods somewhat counter-intuitive? The SQL DDL is correct for the way it''s used in the models. But isn''t it more logical that an author would have many posts, rather than many authors having one post? From

Hi all I have the following plugin code: module IncenseCrud def self.included(base_class) base_class.extend(ClassMethods) end module ClassMethods def performs_incense_crud def index list return render(:action => ''list'') end end end end In init.rb I have the following: require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Apologies for the noop question in advance (just getting started with LLVM), and I'm not entirely sure if this is the right list to post to. is it? I have some lambda functions as member variables that I want to have my LLVM language make calls to. I've added a mapping to them, but this doesn't seem to enable LLVM to resolve the functions. I asked on stackoverflow but the suggestion

With acts_as_taggable 1.04... 1. how can I get a frequency of tags? i.e. /tags/list I want to list of tags sorted and listed with their frequency tags_controller.rb: def list @tags = Tags.find_by_sql ''select name, count(*) as freq from tags group by name order by freq desc'' End tags/list.rb: <ul> <% @tags.each do |t| %> <li><%= t.freq %>

We''ve all seen the job listings. We know what they''re looking for. Rockstars. Code Monkeys. Rails Ninjas. And you''re left thinking, "But I''m just a programmer." Well, not anymore. Today, you become a Rails Kung-Fu Master! "Not me," you say. "I''ve already tried using all the acts_as_something plugins and all the something_fu

When trying to understand a piece of code from the Ruby-On-Rails framework, I found that I''m still lacking knowledge about scope issues in Ruby. Here is a stripped down version of the code I''m trying to understand (in case you happen to use Rails: This is from file scaffolding.rb): module ActionController module Scaffolding .. module ClassMethods def

Anyone got any idea of how to use built-in validation methods in a mixed-in module. What I''ve got at the moment is each class that needs ranking methods includes [the module] Ranking. Then the module Ranking has a bunch of instance methods and a submodule ClassMethods. The ClassMethods in this are mixed in to the class with self.included. So far so good. But I want the module to

Starting to feel more confident and code is DRYing up nicely, but I''ve hit a brick wall here and hoping someone can help me. I''ve got a module, TrustRanking, which extends a number of model''s instance methods, and I want to extend their class methods too, but I can seem to work out how to do it. Simply including the module from the class works a treat for the

Filter chaining appears to behave in differently than Rails 1.2.x. It seems that I''m getting a lot of errors along the lines of: ActionController::ActionControllerError: filter #<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::BeforeFilterProxy:0x322f468 @filter=#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter: 0x322f4b8 @filter=:login_required>> was in the wrong place!

I''ve created an access control module that I''m including in several different controllers. Everything works fine, but I want to allow each controller to override the default login page with something like this: set_login_pages :secure => ''my_login'' In my module, I''ve set up the set_login_pages method like this: def self.included(base)

Hi, i try to understand how plugins work in detail. Often you see stuff like: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_commentable end I wonder what''s happen all there. What kind of language-feature is behind this call "acts_as_commentable" ? In my opinion you need some kind of extend or include to extend the functionality of a model. And exactly this is which i found

In a belongs_to association, is there a way to tell if the associated object was newly created? Hopefully this will explain my question: A Firm class declares has_many<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#M000530>:clients and a client class declares

Quick question: Given a basic plugin... how can I access an object that I instantiated in the acts_as method from an instance method? Probably some sort of accessor... but where? def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def acts_as_test object = Object.new ## This object needs to be accessible from the Instance Methods end include

hey folks I''ve installed the plugin acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (henceforth aatos), and i already have some tagging functionality set up, using the same approach (ie a Tag and a Tagging class with associated tables) as aatos. So, i want my existing Tag and Taggings methods, plus some other methods i have in a module which i include with the taggable classes (ie the ones that would call

I am trying to write a plugin, ''acts_as_commentable'', for my models - Image, Book, Music and so on, I do not want to use polymorphic association, so very model should have its own comment class. Here is my code acts_as_commentable.rb module Commentable def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end module ClassMethods def

Hello, I needed to add custom cache field for one of my application. I thought I will share the code showing how to do this. This code below creates and maintain a custom cache field, for keeping track of totals. Say, you have accounts, and for each account there are transactions (either deposit/withdrawal), and one will like to keep track of the total balance for an account. So, let there be a

Is there any way to validate a form that isn''t connected to a model. I have a form that connects to a controller action and I want to validate the inputs on the form like I would with the validates_ATTRIBUTE_of property on a model. Is there any way to do this? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
