I moved from acts_as_tree to acts_as_nested_set because I need the all_children method. I''ve seen an alternative way to add this method to acts_as_tree here: http://www.chuckvose.com/articles/2006/05/24/recursive-children But I''d prefer to use the more efficient way of acts_as_nested_set (and not to have to revert to my old code). Anyway, here''s my issue: if I

I am working on an Rails application that uses a pretty complex category structure through out the site. I have defined a table to house all the info and a FK to reference parents within the table CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL, parent_id int(11) default NULL, constraint fk_category_id foreign key (category_id) references

I''m currently using acts_as_tree to display threaded Comments on my forums-like site. It''s waaay too slow to display a page with 1,000 comments, as it''s issuing a TON of selects. I''m pretty sure I want to convert to the nested set model, using acts_as_nested_set or acts_as_threaded. This should give me the performance I''m looking for. The problem,

I am trying to implement a directory structure (Libraries can contain other Libraries or Documents) using the plugin ''awesome_nested_set'' if lfe was simple (only Libraries) it would be over already, but I don''t see yet how to design the models to handle also Documents in the tree .. should I define an Item model, with acts_as_nested_set and have Library model and

Hey guys, This is the final list of the new maintainers of each plugin. We need two more things to do: First please the owners of the repos add the rest of the maintainers.

I have a model using acts_as_tree which is working fine. Being new to Ruby I''m don''t know what enumerator is best to use for traversing a tree by depth. I can write one, but before I do I wanted to know if there is there an enumerator for traversing trees available that the community recommends?

Hello, I have a tree structure that needs to be converted into a nested set. A great deal of work has already been done on the tree items, so maintaining the integrity of the id''s is mandatory. However I need the ability to access entire branches of the tree, which is what Nested set does. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to efficiently transfer the tree to the nested set and

Hi, I''m working with acts_as_tree to print an unordered list of items: Root -- Child ---- Child I''ve got this working, however I''d like to know if there is a more elegant fashion that I''m unaware of: #Takes a parent category and recursivley returns all children def find_all_subcategories(category) if category.children.size > 0

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

Hi, I have a model that uses acts_as_tree option to manage a tree structure in the database. Is it possible to fetch the entire tree with constant number of database calls and cache the tree in memory? Thanks! Bob -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I was wondering if acts_as_nested_set can be used safely with concurrently updates? The fact that so much of the tree needs to be rewritten on inserts concerns me. Is anyone actually using it. I noticed that the status of acts_as_nested_set was unclear at the time the rails book was written. Regards, Glen

I''m trying to enhance acts_as_nested_set. Well actually I already have, but I''ve done a hack up job of it. I would like to contribute these enhancements back, but I need a little help. I''m a complete newbie to this stuff. The only thing I new before coming into this project was vanilla HTML. So over the course of two weeks I''ve picked up Ruby, Rails, MySQL,
