I have a model "Childmodel" that belongs_to two other models "Parent1" and "Parent2". "Parent1" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp1" and "Parent2" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp2". i.e. The child is independently positioned within each of its parents. This works fine and gets me the useful

Since I upgraded to 1.1, I am getting ''ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord'' exceptions when trying to save a specific record. I read up on ActiveRecord::Base.readonly? but I don''t think the condition there (objects pulled in from a certain JOIN type) applies. Here''s my code that is throwing the exception: @company = session[:company] @company.bytes_used =

I''d like to announce acts_as_habtm_list plugin for rails. acts_as_habtm_list is a Ruby on Rails plugin, that can manage ordered lists through a join-table. It is providing almost the same Api as acts_as_list. The position column has to be defined in the join table. You can find additional information at: http://www.inlet-media.de/acts_as_habtm_list/ Install it executing this command

Hello! I''m just a caveman with some caveman questions. I''ve been parsing Rspec for quite a while, and I''m writing my first series of specs. My initial impressions are "Verbose, but understandable. Helpful and intuitive, but so much to digest." I want to congratulate the folks who are dedicating a chunk of their lives to writing this, and ask 2 caveman

Hello Rails lovers! I have a few general discussions that I have yet to find terribly active. Perhaps all of the people busy on this front are...uh...busy on this front. So! Ajax-only apps. No degration. Yes! Forget about degradation for a moment. Not willing to? Ok, well...this question is for those who are willing... Imagine developing an app that is one page - all actions render partials

Hi there, I have a controller that responds to fbml and html, with html at the top. In all browsers, this works as expected - When I''m hitting the controller from my normal app, I get html. When I hit it inside facebook, I get fbml. However, with Firefox 3 hitting the normal app, I''m getting fbml for some odd reason. Am I crazy? Sudara

For anyone using both and encountering trouble with stylesheets (specifically, the paths being incorrect in production mode)... Removing facebooker solves the issue. But I bet you don''t want to do that, eh? So, simply setting ActionController::Base.asset_host = '''' also works like butter. I''m not 100% clear on why asset_host has anything to do with

I posted something about this a week ago wihtout response, but have made some progress since. However, I''m still not getting exactly what I want. OK, three core tables: create_table :reference_items do |t| t.column :title, :string, :limit => 255 t.column :year, :integer, :limit => 4 t.column :type, :string t.column

Hello. I spent an hour or three chasing down a desired effect that mootools implements, namely the simulation of onmouseleave and onmouseenter events. Why? Lets say you have a Menu. A ul element that contains many li elements. If you want to have a function (maybe an effect) fire when the mouse moves outside of the ul, you are out of luck. Observe the mouseout function like so:

I''m having an error from Linux via freeTDS/ODBC to SQL Server with cod that runs fine against SQLite and MySQL.

I''ve got a left join problem of some sort connecting from linux FreeTDS/ODBC to SQL Server. It''s similar to the false post I had earlier, but this is a real problem.

I am creating a database for movies (films) and television shows (shows) that will have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships with the pictures table.

So I seem to be having an issue with trying to install acts_as_list in rails 2.2.2? I have downloaded the files from: http://github.com/rails/acts_as_list/tree/master I have put the files in the vendor/plugins folder the files are as follows: vendor/plugins/acts_as_list/init.rb vendor/plugins/acts_as_list/lib/active_record/acts/list.rb vendor/plugins/acts_as_list/test/list_test.rb

Hi ! There must be something I don''t understand clearly in acts_as_list I have a list of gallery entries (images + text), model is GalleryEntry. I have a field in_exhibition (boolean) I want the list to be sorted with a scope on in_exhibition : from 1 to N for every record having in_exhibition = false and 1 to N for every record having in_exhibition = true When I use acts_as_list

I have two tables ("products" and "categories") that have a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship, and I need to be able to arbitrarily sort products in the scope of a category using something like acts_as_list. Problem is, since each product can belong to multiple categories, it doesn''t work to use acts_as_list and have the "position" field be in the

Hi, How are people specifying models which act_as_list? I''m thinking that it would be possible to check that acts_as_list instance methods have been added to a class using something like this: describe Page, "acts_as_list" do it "should act as a list" do Page.ancestors.should be_include(ActiveRecord::Acts::List::InstanceMethods) end it "should use

in a single table inheritance model, rails will automatically set the scope for acts_as_list to the ''type'' field as well as any other scope conditions we provide. Is there a way to disable this? i want to use STI but I want acts_as_list to disregard the class type when getting/setting positions. thanks alan
