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.

Hi all, I recently started back up with Rails and things are going well up until now. I''ve set up acts_as_commentable in my Post model and it''s working great. Problem is users are able to create a "blank" comment. I''ve added the following validations in the comment.rb file generated by acts_as_commentable to limit the comment length: [code]

Howdy, I''ve been banging my head on this problem for a bit. I''m using the acts_as_commentable plugin which works great. The scenario, I''m on the user''s dashboard and want to display comments with commentable_type = Venue. No problem. But, if I want to display the name of that Venue with the comment... big nasty.

With the help of several heroes here yesterday I beat my way into a working solution to adding comments to one or more models in my application using acts_as_comentable. Great plugin, but my implementation is lame. I need enlightenment. I have users who log in. For several views I want to let them add comments. Enter act_as_commentable which does just this -- it''s polymorphic, so you

Hey guys, I''ve been thinking lately about polymorphic associations, and I wonder: is there a noticeable or tangible performance "hit" from doing polymorphic associations when you''ve got your database under really high query load? So for example, maybe I have a "message" model, a "user" model and an "administrator" model, without any

Hello, I''m working to install the acts_as_commentable plugin on my Rails 3 app. After adding "acts_as_commentable" to my book model, I then added a comment form on my book show view: <% form_for(@comment) do|f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :book_id %> <%= f.label :comment %><br /> <%= f.text_area :comment %> <%= f.submit "Post

I''m getting this very weird error and I can''t figure out what the problem is. I''m using acts_as_commentable.
