similar to: acts as list -- adding or moving new item to new location

I am trying out ROR for the first time[1], and have much PHP poisoning to overcome in my mental baggage. That said, I was delighted to find that I could make a link from a "show" page to the next record in the database by simply adding @next_page = Content.find(params["id"].next) to my content_controller.rb and then constructing a link to it within my show.rhtml. The

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

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

I have validates_uniqueness_of :name in my model which works fine when creating a record but doesn''t work when I edit the record. In other words it won''t let me create a record with the same name but I can go in after and update the field without a problem.

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

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

hi all, i''m working on deploying my app w/ apache and a mongrel cluster. i''ve started by copying the instructions and code from the agile rails book and everything seems to be working fine but apache isn''t forwarding my requests to mongrel the way i expect it should. there''s nothing in the rewrite logs and nothing but 404 errors in the apache error logs.

When moving an item around within the list, shouldn''t EVERY item have its optimisitc locking field updated? Currently, only the item that is moved has its optimisitc locking field updated, but every item has its position field changed so surely they too should have their optimistic locking fields updated? I''ve created a drag and drop interface on a list of items that allows for

I ran into an interesting issue today with ActiveRecord''s becomes method and discovered that it is mutating the receiver without me knowing it. The API docs<http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Persistence.html#method-i-becomes>say "The new instance will share a link to the same attributes as the original > class. So any change to the attributes in either

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? Thanks for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

Does anyone have any experience using acts as tree and acts as list together? My model looks like class ModelName < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "position" acts_as_list :scope => :parent end the table has fields position, :integer parent_id, :integer This kinda of seems to work. Except if I do something like @modelinstance.children.first.move_lower

I have a model object that acts as a list. The position of each object is determined by two factors: number of votes ascending and age of object descending. When a user adds or deletes a vote I need to quickly update the associated model object''s position. Right now this is done with the following method: def update_position position = nil Bug.find(:all, :order =>

I''d like to announce acts_as_habtm_list plugin for rails. acts_as_habtm_list is a Ruby on Rails plugin, that can manage ordered lists through a join-table. It is providing almost the same Api as acts_as_list. The position column has to be defined in the join table. You can find additional information at: http://www.inlet-media.de/acts_as_habtm_list/ Install it executing this command

i''m indexing a table from some legacy db via a nightly executed script/runner command (LegacyInfobase.rebuild_index). but very often newer documents don''t show up in search results for quite some days. when running it manually from console for diagnosis it mostly stops with this error (but not always): [This was fast-saved 1 times. Some information is lost] IOError: IO Error

hi, i use ferret in my application and when the user uses the search, i return some records. the user then clicks on a result to view details. on the details page, i have a javascript.history.back to return to the search result. however, i get the expired results page and the user has to refresh the browser. is there a simple way to solve this? thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, We''re happily using Ferret through acts_as_ferret on a Rails website, but we have an issue with rebuilding indexes. The Rails project directories are on an NFS mounted volume and running Model.rebuld_index there seems to take 60-100 times longer than it does on a local filesystem (e.g. /tmp). What we''d like to do is rebuild our indexes in say /tmp, then copy them back when

Hi I''m using a non-default index directory (acts_as_ferret :index_dir option) but the unused default (./index/) is still created at load time. The culprits are the two calls to ensure_directory in the init_index_basedir method in acts_as_ferret.rb that seem to be redundant. Removing the calls to init_index_basedir fixes the problem with no apparent side effects. Cheers, Stuart --

hi all! after hours of trying to find contents with german umlauts i stumbled upon a post where someone said ferret won''t work with utf-8 on windows??? is that really true? do i really have to iconv everything to iso-8859-15 before indexing and do the same with the query to get it working? i''m running ruby 1.8.5, ferret 0.10.9-mswin32, and rails 1.2.2 and just reinstalled aaf
