Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no?

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.

I have a real problem with the acts_as_paranoid plugin. The find-scope nesting does not seem to work at all.

Working with modules to group certain methods. Currently I have this set up and it works: **# app/models/a.rb** class A has_history end **# lib/history.rb** module History module Model def self.included(base) base.send :extend, ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def has_history(options = {}) send :include,

I have a real problem with the acts_as_paranoid plugin. The aliasing of find and so the nested scope does not seem to work at all, when combining it with similar plugins.

I''m working on a plug-in which has to manipulate some session varibles Unfortunately I end up with "Symbol as array index" errors. Probably the error occurs in a point that I never think about but here''s an abstract plug-in which generates the same error.

Dear list, I am trying to override an after_save callback declared in main app using plugin.

Hi all, I have a column that peeks its value from a sequence (postgres) some times. Other times, I set it to a certain value. This column has a default value of "nextval(''the_sequence'')"...

Hi all, I''m trying to move a bunch of methods out of a controller into a library that I can include and call a class method to have it dynamically add a bunch of methods to the controller. The goal is to just add to each controller: include UIEnhancements::SubList sub_list ''Note'', ''incomplete'' and have the sub_list method create all the methods

Hi plugin-authors. So this is a little bit of take two on this question, but why can''t I access a singleton on the model calling my plugin? The crux of the full plugin below is: #logger.info self.class.to_s new_copy = self.class.new( @copyable_attributes ) the logger spits out "Datatype", but I get an error from rails saying: undefined method `datatype'' for
