similar to: detecting acts_as_x?

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

I''m using a plugin which adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base http://similetimelinerailshelper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simile_timeline/ This adds an "acts_as" type declaration to the Models, via the file in vendor/plugins/simile_timeline/lib/simile_timeline.rb Rails is working with these declarations, and they are being used successfully in ''regular

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 am currently using activerecord without rails and I''d like to use the acts_as_ferret plugin as it works well with activerecord. How do I take advantage of the acts_as_ferret without rails installed? Is this possible? If someone could provide me with direction on how this would be done, that would be greatly appreciated. I assume that since active record works without rails that all

Hi all, Every time I try to add options for the find_conditions argument of find_by_contents I get the following: a = AnnotatedLink.find_by_contents(''test'', {}, {:conditions => ''category_id IS NOT NULL''}) >> NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Hi, I am using salted hash login generator to create my login page. In the user_environment.rb file, I saw that there is a comment saying should NOT include the email field in the changeable user fields array. Does anyone know why? > # Add all changeable user fields to this array. > # They will then be able to be edited from the edit action. You > # should NOT include the

Hi, My question is a bit of wonder and a bit of enlightment. I have two models, Channel and ChannelItem, the second is a list of Events, ordered by position (because I''m using acts_as_list). Later I use a method in Channel to recalculate the hour when that show come online, based on the duration of it and doing math based on the previous one duration and start time, starting from

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 have the following polymorphic association set up with acts_as_relation (https://github.com/hzamani/acts_as_relation) Model code: class Email < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :detail validates_presence_of :address end class Detail < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_superclass has_many :emails accepts_nested_attributes_for :emails, allow_destroy: true

After much tinkering, I have discovered that any module or plugin which extends ActiveRecord causes Passenger to fail (application won''t load at all). Is this a known behavior? I have confirmed that my Passenger installation is working just fine with a simple Rails application that does not modify AR. Passenger 2.0.3 OS X 10.5.4 Built-in Apache 2.2 ruby 1.8.6(114) Rails 1.2.6 In one

Hi, I''m getting the error below, and I''m not sure where to find "acts_as_list" ...

I just picked up Camping and I''m currently reviewing every little tidbit of information I can find out about it. I really liked the simplicity of RubyOnRails, but sometimes you want something fast and everything is relative. After looking at Camping, RubyOnRails seems like a lot of work if you just want to test out a prototype of a small web app. One thing I do miss are all the

Hi, Can Ferret be configured to change the minimum word length of what it indexes? Right now it seems to drop words 3 characters or less, but I''d like to include words going down to 2 characters. How would I do that? Francis

I am developing a large scale financial application which is going to be very intensive write-wise, and use a lot of transactions. I can see how the the web and application servers can be scaled and load balanced quite easily, but not the database tier. The setups I have looked at so far seem to deal with coping with a lot of reads, and minimal writes - this maybe because they are largely

I am trying to monkey-patch the ActiveRecord::Base class to incorporate a generic search class method so that it can be used by all model classes which need this functionality. Since model classes directly inherit from ActiveRecord::Base and unlike controllers and helpers, do not have an ancestor class defined, I think I am forced to open the ActiveRecord::Base class and patch it? May be I am

Hi, I''m starting to use Test::Unit to create unit tests for my Rails Applications/Plugins. I don''t have much experience in Ruby Unit Testing. The problem is that the output report is very simple and it is very difficult to discover where is the error. Test::Unit does not show the line number of the error and the Stack Trace printed using the --trace option does not help either.

Hi I thought I would run this past the Rails list before I start doing any work because I don''t want to re-invent any wheels. Basically the situation I''m in is that I work for a company that is currently working on two big non-Rails projects used for financial purposes (one sells vehicles and vehicle finance, the other is an internal broker management system used by

I''d like to always add a condition to any version of "find" (e.g. Thing.find(), Thing.find_by_name(), Thing.find_by_whatever) so that in addition to whatever conditions are set, an additional condition is set :conditions=>"user_id=#{current_user.id}" I''d like to make sure that a user only sees/edits/creates entries in the database that have the user_id

Hi all, I am fiddling with a table of mine where I have chosen to use a column for tracking whether the row is deleted or not. If I chose the normal method of physically deleting the rows then everything is fine. But, since I am now using this alternative method I have to change a lot of code to make it work "out of the box", by adding :constraints clauses here and there. Also I have to
