I''m trying to implement acts_as_rateable to my Beast installation to give users the option to rate posts (like reddit). I chose acts_as_rateable as it supposedly easily allows reddit-type voting but I''m having some problems setting it up and the documentation seems outdated. (http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-rateable-plugin/) So far, I''ve

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

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

I now have the acts_as_commentable plugin up on RubyForge. This plugin will allow you to add comments to any active_record object in your Rails application. So far the directions are simple, and there are only a few features: To install: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/commentable/acts_as_commentable In the readme there is a sample migration you will need to use, with

I find that my app is doing a lot of db queries to get comment counts for various objects, as I reference these counts frequenly in my views. This is using acts_as_commentable. Anyone have any tips for adding counter caching to acts_as_commentable? I assume this is possible with polymorphic associations? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been trying to add some rating capabilities to a site I''m working on, I''ve been following a few tutorials (one being http:// www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-rateable-plugin/) and I keep seeing something that''s confusing me. ---- from the tute : (in my ratings controller) post = Post.find(params[:id]) post.add_rating Rating.new(:rating

Hi all, I have a problem with acts_as_rateable in rails 2.2.0.

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]

Hi everyone. Sorry if it is not the place to post questions about webgen. I use webgen5, i know it is not the stable version but i couldn''t understand how webgen4 worked, it''s easier with webgen5, and i won''t have to change my pages when it becomes mainstream ;) I try to build my homepage using webgen, and there are some things i don''t know how to do (i am sure

I''m working on a simple photo gallery app for personal use and I want to generalize the sidebar such that in any page (controller or view, I''m not sure which) I can dynamically add either 1. links to a given sidebar 2. or an entire sidebar. I know that typo does this, and I''ve looked the code. I think it''s too complex a solution for my simple site.

The problem is that then the same people then start complaining about my "oversimplification." In fact, that's part of the problem here. I really _tried_ to make a recommendation without breaking down into the

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. The polymorphic key is a composite key and

My main layout includes separate content_for/yield sections for my header, sidebar, footer, and content. However, when running a view spec, the `rendered` variable seems to only contain a string of just the primary content and ignores the header/footer/sidebar as well as the rest of my layout file (the "render" call just returns my primary content wrapped in generic <html> and

I have a basic login form rendered as a component in the sidebar of my main layout view. Whether or not the login succeeds, the controller redirects to the main index to refresh the sidebar. On success, I set the session[:user_id] to @user.id as usual. The problem is that ''index'' gets rendered in the sidebar. However, when I comment out "session[:user_id] =

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I''m still learning the rails framework, having done most of my previous web development in PHP. I''ve done a bit of googling for the answer to this question, but maybe I''m just lacking the right word to search for. Several parts of my site, such as sidebar components, are self-contained, modularized and re-used in several parts

Hi, I''m trying to write a sidebar menu with dynamic menus, and to do so I would like to define a list of menus to display within my sidebar component controller code and pass that list to the component display view, like so: # menu_controller.rb class Sidebar::MenuController < ActionController::Base uses_component_template_root @menus = %w{admin user help} def display

Hi, I''m relatively new to ruby and rails. I would like to have a sidebar component call one of several other constituent components. I''ve run into some problems, and so I''ve pruned things back to a relatively simple case. I have a sidebar component. Renders great. In it''s layout, I call render_component for another component I would like in the sidebar.

Hello, I am using acts_as_commentable (related to Post) and I would like to know how to get the list the posts ordered by date of comment (i.e. post with recent comment first). in addition if a post has no comment, i would it to be inserted based on its creation date.

Okay, I see this instance variable places, but I can not determine if it is real or where the content comes from. I''ve tried views/<controller>/sidebar.rhtml, _sidebar.rhtml, views/layouts/sidebar.rhtml and views/layouts/_sidebar.rhtml. Does this actually exist? What''s the Rails Way to make a good sidebar? http://www.google.com/search?q=content_for_sidebar Thanks,

Any ideas how I would go about writing specs for views which make use of content_for? I''d like, for example, to be able to specify that ABC view places XYZ in the sidebar, which I do using content_for(:sidebar). Am I missing something obvious? Kyle
