similar to: how to use scope with acts_as_list

i am working on a task manager with ruby on rails. it is my first major project, so i''m still gettng my feet wet as i learn. i''ve been trying to use the built in relationships to link my tables together, but i''m not able to use the same naming conventions. for each task, it has a field for the creator, and another field for the assignee. both of these fields

So I have the following model class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic has_many :topics, :order => :position acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :topic_id end that I use for a site''s navigation. Everything (list, create, edit, even the drag&drop sort) works fine, except the destroy function, which the vanilla version def destroy

First, BRAVO for this wonderful plugin: has_many_polymorphs ! Now my problem: 4 models : Collection, Page, Fragment, Belonging (which is the join table): 1 class Collection < ActiveRecord::Base 2 has_many_polymorphs :elements, 3 :through => :belongings, 4 :from => [:pages, :fragments, :collections], 5 :as => :collector, 6 :parent_order =>

Hi, [reposting to list, posting via google groups apparently didn''t work] I''m trying to use acts_as_list for the first time. Can anyone confirm the odd behaviour reported here? http://blog.nominet.org.uk/tech/Web/2006/03/06/Using_acts_as_list_in_... i.e. element access and move_higher require an odd indexing scheme to work. I''m personally finding that I

I am using ruby 1.8.4 with rails 1.0 under fedora core 3 on a WIntel platform. Rails appears to be losing key information under some circumstances. Specifically, in the Questions class that follows, the presentation_id property is apparently being lost. The STDOUT dump from the create method indicates that the presentation_id should be 42, but the dump from the database shows that it is 43,

I suspect this is a bug. Or a limitation. Problem: ---------------- When you include a STI class in a ''find'' : @results = Result.find :all, :include => :event , you are forced to specify the fk and the class name : belongs_to :event , :class_name => "Event", :foreign_key => "event_id" . Full code: ----------- class Event <

I''m having a problem with a has_and_belongs_to_many (habtm) association between two models with extra attributes. I''m writing a comic book database, and each issue has many creators on it. Thing is, some creators perform multiple duties. They may write one issue, draw another, etc. However, if I add a creator twice to an issue and try to delete it, it removes both creators:

For some reason, rails is generating this SQL: SELECT FIRST 1 * FROM questions WHERE (parent_id IS NULL) ORDER BY position DESC 1. There is no column named position referenced in my code. 2. POSITION is a reserved word in SQL92. It is the name of a string function that returns the offset of one string within another. I believe that this is a bug in Rails. Either position should be

I''m running into a situation where I''d like to provide the list scope for an acts_as_list model from one step removed. In minimalistic form (with several other associations removed from each level). class MainEntity < AcrtiveRecord::Base has_many :containers end class Container < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :elements belongs_to :main_entity end class

This has the look of a "just don''t quite get it yet" problem. I am using the ActiveRecord.find_by_id method to identify the parent object (Quiz) to tie to the child object (Question) at create time. Here is the stdout log: 127.0.0.1 - - [31/Mar/2006:22:43:22 CST] "GET /question/new? parent_quiz=ff2d7022-be0a-11da-9f01-00400506faf5 HTTP/1.1" 200 806

Here''s what I''m trying to do: class Model < AR::Base acts_as_list :scope => [:key_one_id, :key_two_id, :key_three_id] end with the idea being that there are these three references from this table (one of them being optional) that define the list. I don''t think acts as nested set works in this situation because I''m still just dealing with a single list

I have a boolean field in mysql (tinyint) which I want to use as a scope restriction for acts_as_list acts_as_list :scope => ''featured = #{featured}'' however, there is a problem here as when Rails generates SQL query for this it supplements true/false for #{featured} which raises error in mysql As a workaround I created dummy attributes that return 1/0 depending on featured

Hello, I''ve tried to set up a class with acts_as_list with a scope argument that restricts a list to records with the same foreign key. For example : database : CREATE TABLE `families` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '''', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ; INSERT INTO

this is my model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :phones, :as => :callable, :order => :position end class Phone < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :callable, :polymorphic => true acts_as_list :scope => :callable_id end how can i add the callable_type to the scope. how can i say the scope is the {:callable_id,:callable_type} couple? is it even possible? thanks

A person has a many company_branches and A company_branch has many people. This join is represented using a "contacts" table. I am using a legacy schema so i am forced into using non-standard rails primary keys. I am using the new through relationship in rails 1.1. p=Person.find(1) b=p.company_branches # gives this error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: OCIError: ORA-00904:

Quick Overview: I have an ''Employee'', some ''Merchants'' and some ''Products''. A ''Merchant'' has many ''Products''. An ''Employee'' has multiple ''Merchants'', depending on their relationship. For example, the Employee may be the enrollment contact for one merchant and the

Hi, I have in my simplistic app: class Album has_many :pics, :order => :position end class Pic belongs_to :album acts_as_list :scope => ::album end It all works fine when creating a new pic from the forms. But, when trying to move a pic between albums, the album changes Ok, but no matter what I do the position attribute stays the same and the list navigation is broken. So far,

I thought I had this nailed but.. now I''m seeing spots.. I''ve included my models below, feel free to ignore them. I''m really just after an example that works. I couldnt find one on the wiki... which is fair enough considering Ricks patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4022 that fixed them only went through 5 days ago.. Cheers -henster
