Will the find from acts_as_paranoid filter down to an :include? For instance class parent acts_as_paranoid has_many: children end and class child acts_as_paranoid belongs_to :parent end Then if you Parent.find(:all, :include => children) you will get all the children if they are deleted or not. I guess the find that filters out the deleted_at is null does not filter down to the includes

I''m no good at SQL and I have a question that will hopefully be fairly easy to answer. I''m using acts_as_paranoid which instead of deleting a record adds a deleted_at column with the datetime the row was deleted. I want to have a find_by_sql filter out any row where deleted_at is not null. I have (at least the relevant parts): #a couple working filters here. filters <<

Hi, I''ve run into two small problems with acts_as_paranoid and wondered if anyone else has experienced them as well (and if yes, if they have any solutions). 1. When using has_many :through, AAP doesn''t seem to take into account the fact that your join model might also be paranoid. My solution to this at the moment is to add an explicit conditions clause to the has_many

Is it possible with acts_as_ferret to somehow restrict the results that are returned? For instance, I don''t want to return results that are logically deleted with acts_as_paranoid (deleted_at IS NOT NULL and deleted_at < now()). Also, if a user is not an Admin, they should not be able to return results that have a certain value in a certain column, like forum_id != 13 (if 13 is

Trying this straight from the README: I have acts_as_paranoid in my model (Course), and added the deleted_at column. This is OK: Course.find_with_deleted(:all) Course.find(:all, :with_deleted => true) gives: ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): with_deleted from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/ active_support/core_ext/hash/keys.rb:49:in `assert_valid_keys''

Hello I''ve been using Acts_as_Parnoid for a while and it has been working well but I am now having a slight issue with it. I have a company table were I would like to use validates_uniqueness_of :company_name. This validation works if a company exists in the database and has not been deleted. However, I also would like the validates_uniqueness_of to work if a company has

As far as I can tell, the counter_cache option on a belongs_to model doesn''t actually save anything in the database. For example, I have the following models: class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children, :conditions => "deleted_at IS NULL" end class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent, :counter_cache => true end With the following

When I''m executing cucumber tests, I noticed that sometimes rails app (in test env.) getting several the same requests (GET or POST) usually around 3, and it doesn''t render anything with empty HTTP status code. Have anyone met something similar to that issue? here is some example of log file: Started POST "/account" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-11-30 22:34:17 +0200

How would I go about setting up my rails applications to soft delete items from the database rather than actually deleting it. I would imagine that I need to over ride the methods from ActiveRecord. Where would I do this would it be in the model? enviroment.rb? I would imagine that if i wanted it throughout my entire application it would need to be in the enviroment.rb. Also to

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone can help me with a migrations question here. Using: rails 2.0.2 ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin] mysql 5.0.45 Platform: windows xp The problem: ---------- I created a migration that is designed to add a column named "deleted_at" (timestamp) and then remove a column named "is_deleted" (boolean). The idea is to

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. The description: I made a copy of ''acts_as_paranoid'' in the plugin directory, renamed it to ''acts_as_very_new''(just a nonsense plugin for testing), and simplified the code (original code

Hey all, i''m rather new to rails and was curious if ActiveRecord implemented anything like is_active where the delete functions would just mark records as inactive, vs deleting rows. (similar to created_at, etc). I need a history of transactions, and this is how I would code in other languages. Any advice? Is there are smarter way to implement this? Thanks in advance! -- Posted via

Using the acts_as_paranoid plugin with rails 1.1.4 (model also uses acts_as_threaded and acts_as_taggable) and getting some unexplainable behavior. The following tests: assert_equal Conv.count, num assert_equal Conv.count_with_deleted, CONVS_TOTAL Produce the following SQL: SQL (0.000000) SELECT count(*) AS count_all FROM convs WHERE (( convs.deleted_at IS NULL OR convs.deleted_at

Hi... Isn''t there a proper way or hack/workaround for the following? * For the example with unfortunate disabilities.. look below,,, Usage of has_* (associationmethods) do {def with_deleted AccociatedModel#with_scope} {Paranoid''s#find_with_deleted}... The has_one associations give me a nil object when invoking it with Model.association_OBJECT.with_deleted. Has_many does like

Hi, guys I have a puzzle about default_scope. Suppose I have two model: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :blogs default_scope where(deleted_at: nil) end class Blog < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end I want to produce sqlselect blogs.* from blogs inner join users on users.id = blogs.user_id and users.deleted_at is null And the code Blog.joins(:user), which I think

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to implement *logical deletes* instead of physical deletes using ActiveRecord. Basically, in many applications that deal with E-Commerce, you really can''t physically delete almost anything, because records must be kept for auditing and customer service tracking purposes. In the past, I''ve implemented logical deletes as follows: 1.

Hi all, Ran in to a problem with AR::B#find(:include) and acts_as_paranoid, well described here: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/57945 So I whipped up this thing, which seems to work for me: module ActiveRecord class Base def self.has_one_paranoid(*args) ref = create_has_one_reflection *args cond = args.last[:conditions] cond = cond.blank? ? '''' : cond

Hi ! I need to create some pdf from my application. I have a table people with a field address and I need to generate a pdf of label of each address ( I think 10 labels per page).

Hi, I am starting to learn rails and I went through the guide and a couple of tutorials. Even though I understand controllers or at least I can use them I can''t see yet the whole picture. Why do you need several controllers for a single application? If a controller is just a class whose methods interface with models and views, why not have a single controller for the whole application?
